The hydro does have a filter and with you starting off fresh would be good to do an oil and filter change there also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jammankel 24 #29 Posted October 5, 2019 its home now. we investigated the clutch slipping and part #103036 was broke so we welded it together so thats good now. it runs the pump for the bucket fine but when i went to try the tiller the clutch slips. i believe it glazed bad. what would you guys recommend for a new clutch? do you think it is something else? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 18,718 #30 Posted October 5, 2019 First try to adjust the PTO If it still slips do the 100 hour service of the PTO Shown in the owners manual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roadapples 6,983 #33 Posted October 6, 2019 I would remove those hooks or at least move them to the corners. You can bend the center of that bucket. Don't ask me how I know.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jammankel 24 #34 Posted October 6, 2019 this morning i was playing with the bucket and the hook assembly for the clutch broke again do those brake often or is it just bad luck?(i welded it after the first time and it broke just before the weld the second) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 18,718 #37 Posted October 6, 2019 Not something I have heard of breaking before. Lincoln at AtoZ can probably fix you up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jammankel 24 #38 Posted November 6, 2019 so i blew out one of my front tires moving some sand bags. what would you guys recommend for replacement? is there a style that will help make steering easier? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bds1984 1,500 #39 Posted November 7, 2019 Anything 4-ply would be sufficient. I scored a good deal on a pair of 18x8.50-8 Kenda turfs from Sears a couple years ago but I cannot say that they'll allow you to steer easier. You have a heavy front end and no gear reduction or power steering to assist you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 18,244 #40 Posted November 7, 2019 More ply stiffer sidewalls. Tri Rib tires will help some with steering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 67,084 #41 Posted November 7, 2019 I’m surprised I didn’t see this thread, congrats on the score a while back! I agree that a ribbed tire will help with steering, along with jacking it up by the frame (or with the bucket?) and giving every moving part in the front end a fresh grease job. I’m sure reducing friction will be your friend! If I haven’t said so already, Welcome to Redsquare! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tom2p 2,394 #42 Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) If you don't go tri-rib - try Walmart online this past summer got a pair of 16 x 16.50 - 8 4 ply front tires from Walmart for around $45 for the pair shipped - and they arrived in good shape so they were relatively easy to mount (were not crushed or folded or whatever) $39.78 ($ 19.89 per tire) shipping - free $2.78 tax $2.00 merchandise fee $44.56 total the 'brand' is Hi-Run ... they look very much like a Titan tire they are on the front of the 312-8 in pic below Edited November 7, 2019 by tom2p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
