I did not know such a machine existed until yesterday. Local farmer had a 2005 John Deere 500 cc Trail Buck in his barn. Claimed his brother bought it new in 2005 for near $7000 and never used it. Only 50 miles on it. I looked at it and it looks show-room new. Not a speck of wear or dirt other then storage dust. The owner died a year after buying and this thing sat ever since. The farmer decided to try to get it going and took it to a local Deere dealer. He got charged $200 and told it cannot be fixed. Has no oil pressure and NO new parts available.
I just bought it for $550. I got it home, stuck a new battery in it and tried to start it. Starter would not work because the flywheel had fallen off. Why? I have no idea. German engine with a taper-fit keyless flywheel and the one bolt had fallen out.
So, I got the flywheel torqued on, put a battery in it, and it started right up. Sounds like a brand new engine. But the oil pressure light is on. I can see the Deere dealer put a new oil-pressure sender switch in and then gave up.
I AM surprised to find out that a new oil pump is indeed "obsolete" from either John Deere or Bombardier/Can Am. Kind of odd for a machine that is not all that old. Has an Austrian Rotax engine.
I have no idea what is wrong with this thing. Engine sounds fine. If it really has no oil pressure, I am hoping it is something simple.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
