Bob Rooks just mentioned those a few weeks ago, and it was only one dealer. I think it was Affordable tractor in Texas, but I’m sure Bob will confirm this (if my memory is correct).
I called them yesterday morning and ordered the hose and some other small parts. I didn’t mention my experience with the website to the person I spoke with, she seems really nice and I didn’t want to start off her day with a negative comment about something she had nothing to do with. I’ll make another call this week and find someone who would know how to fix this. :good:
I’m thinking perhaps it’s neither one. I guess I should have just called. Maybe I’m one of the few that took the time to type out what I wanted instead of waiting until Monday to call? I’d like to think this is something the website design service upsold that nobody ever used, and not anything else. Maybe it’s just me getting cranky in my old age. :unsure:
I agree Bob. Another annoying one is dealers that have a contact form but never reply to them. Last weekend I was pulling out some rather large quaking aspens with a grubber and a chain hooked to the bucket hanging over the garden fence, some big enough to spin the tires . At one point I turned the front wheels not realizing they were in the ruts left by the rear tires. Last time I did something like this I broke a weld on the steering ram mount. I must have made too good of a weld because this time I blew a hose. I went to the closest dealers website and they don’t list an email address but have a contact form. I filled it out with what I’m after and nothing. No contact, zero, nada. I guess I’ll give the business to the local implement manufacturer, they can make or repair anything.
Not sure what fuel filters have to do with brakes on a 284, but I have noticed that the brakes are worthless on a really steep hill. Better be in a low gear before you descend.
Sorry I’m late to the party. Looking under the tractor the pedal rod disappears into the Trans/rear end assembly, so I’m guessing wet. My e-brake is dropping the box blade :whistle:
Wish I could help you, but I’ve never had to get into that area. I just noticed the directory of tractor dealers above is empty, strange. :unsure: Try contacting Keno Tractors in Oregon or Tommy at Affordable Tractors in Texas, or Circle G in Tennessee. Anyone of them will have been there, done that. Hope this helps.
Is there a product more specifically suited for this situation?
Yes. http://www.cosmolinedirect.com/cosmoline-weathershed-industrial-grade-spray/
I’ve had a lifetime of that stuff all over me and my clothes working almost excursively at General Motors dealerships. Their frames and sub-frames are dipped in it, and it’s mixed with black carbon to give it that “black framerail” look.
” try an inertia puller (slide hammer)”. Dang. Been using those for almost 50 years (even moved frame rails on a VW Rabbit with a ten pounder) but never heard the term “inertia puller” B-)
I looked around online and came up with what you did, a Benye 22hp. If you search for “Benye Parts” all kinds of sites pop up. I’d be picky about who a did business with though. Last night I even saw a listing on Walmart.com for a starter for your tractor, the company selling it was out of stock however. I couldn’t find it just now.
