BairleaFarm 340 #1 Posted October 18, 2008 I was yanking post out of the ground from an old fence and notice oil all over the ground. I figured i blew a seal. I was worried but under further inspection i noticed something went through the filter on the hydro. Could luck finding one of them on Sunday. :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 23,147 #5 Posted October 18, 2008 Man, you seem to have a lot of bad luck. Anyway, I dont keep spare filters in stock but I do keep the old drive belts/mower deck belts/ and snow-blower belts that I take off. I just roll em up and stuff them into the bag that the new belt came in with the part# printed on the bag so I know what the belt fits. The belts are old and worn but will do just fine in a pinch till I could get a new one. Mike........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hodge 6 #7 Posted October 18, 2008 In this economy, maybe having more than one tractor isn't necessary, but keeping a spare filter is... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The belts are old and worn but will do just fine in a pinch till I could get a new one. I agree with Mike. That's why I hung onto the old six-sided specialty belt they use on the 37" SD decks when I ordered a new one - and a spare. Try to find one of THOSE any time, let alone on a Sunday, in northern New England! Also kept my old main drive belt. Cheers! Duff :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
