Getting ready for fall is NEVER easy...

They may not have put it there on the 125s but if I was a betting man, I would go even money that's where it is. If I remember correctly you have to take the plate that the battery sits on/in out to get to it, simple thing is just ask the shop foreman at your dealer where it is, I'll bet he will had experience with it....

I'll find it. Thanks! The main fuse panel is on top of the engine and the breather is above the radiator. Looks like that might be different on the 135...fwiw.

Looks like the ecu is in the operator control panel on the 125. I knew there were some differences but not sure what all they are. I'd call this a good one, I think. Lol! Seems like less dust and elements, at least...and less battery acid..lol

What are you mowing there?

What are you mowing there?

Picture out on the power line is just mixed wild grasses and whatever comes up under the lines anything from sweet gum sprouts to weeds, we plant food plots along with the corn feeders. Spot where the tractors are sitting is volunteer Bahia grass, it's taking over everything since it was introduced up river from us.... John

Power line and pipe line cross making a perfect X in the center of our deer lease giving us 4 miles of good long range tower stand hunting and I bush hog it every year about 60 days before season. As we were finishing up today my son noticed a flat on my right rear and a 450$ service call, no good deed goes unpunished...... John

What is that thing/ contraption off the left edge of the blue color tractor? Has two hydraulic actuators.

It's a bi-directional tractor and the contraption is a front end loader without the bucket or hay forks , here is a little better pic when Ronnie was fixing the flat...
The seat and console inside the cab will rotate 180°, manual 3 speed gear box with a hydrostat, goes either direction depending on what you're doing. 3pt lift, remote hyd, drawbar and PTO on both ends. Does lots of good stuff, I been liking it since
1996..... John

I was taught a trick. Plenty guys used propane, but you know...My buddies old man used to go to Hot Springs and get scuba tanks filled. 3000 psi with no regulator will air a big skidder tire up in seconds. We are probably lucky we didnt get killed! lots of guys foaming and putting chains on when tread gone now.
that was a tough job you had. My back started aching when i thought about breaking one of those down...

I did some dumb things but never used scuba tanks. I was a stickler for a cage in the shop or chains in the fields airing up. Regular customer brought in an old rusty rear wheel off his barnyard tractor for a new tire. I told him he needed a wheel, he said he knew and had been hunting one for months with no luck. I cleaned it up good with a wire wheel, lubed in up with Murphys Oil Soap snd a little water. Tire should pop out easy. I was tired, I think it was the only time in 6 years I did not use a cage. Was holding a double foot valve on it , tire was coming....BANG... the wheel split part way. I did not get hurt but learned a lesson ,and was across the shop behind a pile of tires with no recollection of how I got there. Some kind of saying about God taking care of fools. I'm living proof. You guys take care out there with equipment, it can be easy to get in trouble.

Ah, makes sense now.. My grandfather had Fords; 5000 and 8000. The 8000 would pull..
