1. No not reliable. Yes, bad seal that leaked oil on drive belt, replaced seal and belt and misc clutch parts. Shift ball detent, both when new. Actually parts have not been the problem, quality is the problem.
2. Have not got rid of it, no one wants it.
3. Kubota Sidekick
4. Damm near impossible, some parts are on ebay.
Mine is a MSU500 bought new from Tractor Supply.
Hello
i have a 2022 Massimo t-boss 550. And it suck’s! I’ve blown 3 clutches 1 was my fault. The starter bearing (clutch). And now I’m dealing with timing and valves. Once you get the bugs out and know what it can’t do it’s ok! And no service. The one person that did help me at Massimo Canada got fired. Lol I’ve been fixing mine since I have no money to buy anything else, by the time I’m done with it it should be ok. I hope lol
good luck!!
