where's a fella to start; hmmm, well starting with the oldest - a) 1981 Case 108 with deck and snowblower (only the engine has been rebuilt) everything else still original and fully operational. b) 2003 JD X585 with 54" deck, 47" snowblower, leaf & grass bin, JD soft cab, and Little Johnny...

according to the parts diagram, there shouldn't be any steel insert, just an upper "and" a lower bronze bearing...

have you checked "PartsTree.com", it shows up for $108.99, but you'd have to call to be certain ..../

post a picture of unit

for what it's worth, this is lowest price I've seen on this unit - - - Husqvarna TS 248XD (48″) 23HP Kawasaki Lawn Tractor w/ Locking Differential $2,144

no idea how the market is in your area; but, maybe check out FB Marketplace for a decent used rig.... I just picked up a mint '07 X700 with under 500 hours, 54" deck, 47" blower, full metal Curtiss cab with heat - $8K . . . . .

this is the new Common Core math they promote.....

or "both"...

you still wearing panty hose...lol

isn't that what we use to call Horse Snot....

But, but, doesn't California have and promote annual m/v inspections and emission testing, etc. standards that they want the rest of the country to emulate .... duhhh, lol.

I was never a big fan early on due to what I felt was their over inflated prices, then I had a chance to buy a used JD 345 for a steal. Wow, what a machine that was, until it got destroyed in a fire - waaaa! So, then I moved up to an X585, awesome unit. Then another deal came along for my...

so, you have to combine several colors to get this thing called black, got it .... lol

have you changed out that PTO switch yet...?

does anyone else find it ironic (actually moronic) that L. A. still has the worst air pollution in the country. It's almost like they are in competition with cows and their "emissions". Hmmmmm.....

Black is the absence of all color. Now, ponder that for a moment .....!

is this what you're looking for - - - https://www.scribd.com/doc/59050806/Ranch-King-Lawn-Tractor-Owner-s-Manual

So, they make 700% + profit, what's the big deal. Exit stage right.........................!

have you looked at something comparable in the JD line, one-n-done, and you'll have a better machine all around - jmo.....

since you already stated you've tried using "grease", how about using some "Lucus Red & Tacky"' or, good old fashion "Cosmoline".....

Hmmm, quick ? - - - how many torque wrench users have their wrench recalibrated annually..... "silence"

when was the last time you bought an plug-in tool that lasted 45 years after daily work use, I have several; but, not a single battery tool has lasted 5 years...... Oh ya, I have a 1981 Case 108 tractor with a deck and blower that my son uses, and which is still going strong after HOURS and...

sounds like you need a goat instead of a mower...

yup, it's ingenious... should make up a few and sell them $$$

ahhhh ha, got it... but thanks anyway. When I spoke to the parts department I asked him to "confirm" that they had one = "Yes", so I guess someone's walking it here... ;-(

If you would confirm that for me, please, I might just need it... otherwise I'll need to bring in a few goats.....

Well now, the Ferris parts warehouse stated, "Yes, we have one in stock". So I ordered it, back on the 21st... still waiting

someone has too much time on their hands . . . :-)

Try inflating the tires to minimum psi, or maybe a couple pounds less...

PS - check out the post above from today, i.e. Ariens Apex Weak/Defective HydroGear Transaxle?

and for the record, I do take care of my equipment. I still have a 1981 Case 108 that my son uses, it has the original deck and spindles, and it has to have 3-4k hours on it by now. My son rebuilt the 8hp B&S engine a few years ago. It still cuts a nice lawn...

NOT living up to it! It's had numerous issues, i.e. 2 completely new deck spindles, a pto clutch, and then the motor busted the crank. So, up there's...

there's an old saying, "if it ain't broke don't........", oh wait forget that.....

how about a photo of the back of both tanks...

any neighbors you like with gas equipment...?

If someone gave me a free Ariens I'd immediately take it to Kubota and trade it in for a decent unit. But that's just me... Oh ya, if you want my dead one with less than 400 hours you have it, just keep your hands off my JD.

have you pull the fuel tank cap off and cleaned any dirt/debris that may be restricting air/fuel flow

try removing the battery(ies) then reinsert, now see if that does the trick... for what it's worth there's a service note on some units that if the machine hits something it will somehow shut off the power requiring the batteries to be removed and reinserted

Ferris IS2600Z 5901475 I'll check out Warnerptodirect.com "Thanks", to all..... Update - - - the order is in and should be on its way shortly!

looking for a PTO Clutch 5104572FS - hopefully from a source that actually has one available... Ferris said they did, but that was 3 weeks ago now!

Obviously, few here have read post #12, hmmm .....

Now the all-important question ... ? How did it manage to come off with the nut still on ... What broke ??? Hmmm.....

Cliff notes: ".....The colonists felt unfairly taxed, watched over like children, and ignored in their attempts to address grievances. Religious issues rose to the surface, political ideals crystallized, and, as always, economics were the essence of many debates."

I don't necessarily disagree, but for how long. He could have/should have done a bit more of a study. My issue is that he had his finger on the answer all along . . . 🤔

more compression increases heat and requires colder plug, just say'n...

not to worry, whatever the most expensive section is you can almost bet that's where it goes, time will tell you for certain...

that guy is a nitwit, i.e. "this was homemade, there's no brand name, etc."; hmmm, maybe he could have just looked at that shiny silver metal manufacturers label under his right hand that says: Jefferson Electric Luminous Tube Transformer. Maybe he should just find himself a real vintage...
