That would be the first thing to go on that tractor. Agree with Rick G. !!!

Brings back old memories. Dad had the 2-ME on our M. Picker is long gone but still got the M. That's a good looking outfit there😀

Correct!☺

Engine idle, range trans. in neutral, do not push down clutch pedal, you should be able to shift the speed trans. through all 4 speeds with a little grinding of gears. If so then clutch is working and DD is ok in the TA. Then I would suspect spider gears. If no grinding then I would suspect TA is shot or clutch is bad

Put volt meter on battery while it's running. Should show bout 13.5 volts, if battery is low after cranking. The hard start issue, has it had a good tune up lately, also make sure intake manifold is not sucking air, by spraying either around where it mounts to the head and around where carb. mounts to the manifold. Has carburetor ever been gone through? good has flow to carb.? choke work in properly?

Has the world gone NUTS or is it just the the USA????????????

You did install the o ring between the housings?

Welcome, but beware, we have RED POWER virus😀

Suppose we could transplant some of those wolf's to Lansing mi.😁😁😁

Got a 7140 on the shop right now. Pedal would not fully return. Got the helper spring in and seems to work fine now. Still wonder why you can't use the heavier spring on the pedal that has the cast pedal tread

Had a return line leaking on one a few years ago. Have to remove valve covers and start and watch return line fittings. Good luck. Hope it's not the pump, cause that thing is heavy?

Just came across a 400 that's been shredded for about 35 years. All sheet metal in good shape. Son of the owner thinks TA is bad. Doesn't run but does roll over. Thinking of buying but what's a decent price????

That's SWEET, for all is cadet fans

21 below this morning in mid michigan and 10 inches of new snow?
