    JD4100 replacement bulb for ROP bar flashers

    Is the bulb for these 1156 or 1157? (Bulbs I pulled out have no numbers on them.) I want to swap them out with LED bulbs. Thanks.

    Land Pride or Frontier rear grader blade... which is best???

    Looking at picking up a lightly used rear grader blade for light earth terraforming and occasionial snow removal. I've found a couple of nice examples not too far from me. One is a Land Pride, the other is a Frontier. The only clear advantage I can see of one over the other is that the...

    Chevron (bar/tractor) tread too abusive to grass. Have to swap. :-/

    1) Cool but sunny weather. 2) Got out of work on time. 3) Couldn't wait. :laughing: Installed 'em and did a complete cut of the entire property. Methinks these tires are keepers! Yes, they're aggressive compared to 'traditional' turf tires, but they're much more forgiving than the tractor lug...

    Chevron (bar/tractor) tread too abusive to grass. Have to swap. :-/

    The tires showed up and are mounted now. I expect to put them on this weekend for what may well be my last mow of the season, at least if the upcoming weather.com forecast for the weeks ahead is to be believed.:laughing: Initial impressions of the tires was 100% positive. They look absolutely...

    Chevron (bar/tractor) tread too abusive to grass. Have to swap. :-/

    Well gang, after almost a whole summer with the 930D I confess that I am in LOVE with this machine!:licking: It has surpassed all of my expectations. I can mow practically wide open (10-12mph) and still get an amazingly manicured cut. Fuel consumption is noticeably less - even with another 9...

    genuine GH dealer service manuals online ???

    I'm trying to find an online copy of the complete service/shop repair manual for my 2014 GH 930D. I'd rather do some of the simpler stuff myself, but would still prefer a manual to guide me through things. Anyone know where I could download one? I've done some searches trying differenct...

    time to upgrade

    Been meaning to post these for a while, but work has been really crazy lately. So... I recently completed one of my routine upgrades: installing heat & sound insulation under the hood, around the muffler shroud, under the seat and under the main deck shielding. This has helped greatly reduce...

    Burned up about burnt up PTO belts!

    OK. Quick question... Recently bought a beautiful new (to me) mower and in its first 2 mowings I've smoked 2 sets of PTO belts. Everything on this mower has just been serviced - by me. All fluids, filters, grease fittings plus a fresh set of factory blades... so the culprit isn't any of these...

    Anyone upsized their wheels from 10" to 12" ???

    Newer 900 series GH mowers use 12" wheels. Older units run 10". So, anyone ever swapped or upsized? Just wondering if there are any fitment issues. I would like a set of 'winter' wheels with bar tread and 12" rims have a much bigger variety of manufacturers & styles to choose from than 10"...

    ATV/UTV bling wheels on a lawn/garden tractor?

    Anyone out there spiffed up their tractors by replacing stock steel rims with stylish aluminum rims like those on many ATVs and UTVs out there? I was thinking about swapping out my summer rims with a set of aluminum units but have been unsuccessful finding rims in the right size/width... and...

    aftermarket roofs/sunshades for garden tractors & mowers?

    Been mulling over the idea of adding a sunroof to my ZTR. There are a TON out there and, of course, everyone says theirs is The Best. The one I keep coming back to is RhinoHide. Anyone own one of these - or any other brand??? I am very curious. I gravitate towards RhinoHide mainly because...

    time to upgrade

    Proud owner of a 721D for the last eight years. The other afternoon I was out mowing when I had the housing on the right side Gemini wheel motor take a dump. Luckily I was able to get it repaired by a local shop but after conferring with their parts guy and couple of other GH parts places in my...

    Any ideas what's causing this (it's killing my grass) ...and how to reverse it???

    Snow finally melts away... and within a few weeks this starts growing/happening to my lawn: Never had (or even seen) anything like this before. Not sure what the holes are. Wife thinks it's insects; I'm wondering if they're caused by birds digging for insects/food. (I dropped a quarter...

    What to do when our obsolete Gemini drives give up the ghost?

    I was told by the local GH dealer that the Gemini final drives are no longer being made and new ones in the box are about gone from GH inventory. I have a 1997 721D with these older units. Any idea if different drive motors can be transplanted ...or are we older, Gemini-powered GH owners out of...

    Pole barn? >>>questions & advice

    Looking to put up a pole barn sometime this summer/Fall. My wife & I measured everything we currently have in our garage, sitting outside or what we want and/or plan to put in the pole barn and then drew blocked "paper dolls" on graph paper and lined them up, with approx. 3feet between...
