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 - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
