    Yours is probably set up a little different than mine anyway, and I had to hunt a little for the grease fitting initially. It is in my service manual, so if yours doesn’t show it then it’s definitely different.
    The gear shifter is probably a cable adjustment.

    I never got the official service manual. I asked at the dealer and they gave me a crock of you know what.

    The lever on the other hand goes to a metal shaft with an oval hole in it where the bar attaches in the trans. Maybe loosen the nut, I'll have to look into it deeper.

    Thanks for the link. I found mine on there as well. It wasn’t available yet last year when I looked unless I missed it. I prefer the paper version but it’s great to have both so you don’t have to carry all that paper around. I asked for mine when I bought the tractor and it was included. Some dealers do everything they can to keep you coming to them unfortunately.

    Check it over move some blocks of wood. Will take some getting used to the HST after 20 years of GST but I like it!
    I wish it would stop raining so I can play. Er, I mean work!

    You got that right! I am glad I waited for the wheel spacers I don't think my chains would have fit without them. I installed the Pat's QH system on the 3pt hitch arms and hooked up the brush hog, just to see how it would do and it handled it just fine. Then it started to rain so I stopped. I love the HST. but I still keep pushing in the clutch and reaching for the shifter, old habits die hard!
    I'll get used to it!

    How do you like the Pats QH, I've been looking at QH, I've heard some end up not playing well with a lot of attachments, the Pats seems like a good compromise

    I had them on my old Kubota, took them off and put them on my new kubota. They have worked very well for all my attachments. The top link on my new tractor is longer which is good the old one was out as far as it would go on the old one.
    I also wire the hitch closed when using, I had the brush hog unhook from one side once it was a pita to get hooked back up hence the wire.

    She’s purty! Great choice! I might be a little biased lol. Loving mine after 15 months and 49 hours. Time for the first service. I used it just yesterday to help take down a huge beech and haul most of it off. Still have the lowest 10-12 feet we need to split before we can move the blocks. Too much for a couple old farts.
