Thank you for the info. I remember one of the guys at work years back who could receive calls from his regular cell phone plus another number. I'm guessing he was forwarding from home.

Battery or fuzz that needs blown out?

Disclaimer - I'm not well-versed in these things. Can I have my cell phone answer two numbers? Most of my communications are via cell, but it would be nice to not go through all the hassle of sending notifications to all the places that now use my land line number. And an update: I received...

I spend enough time keeping it off the house and sheds. Tires are on their own:)

We still have a land line. Recently the static / noise has become so bad that it's very difficult to converse. Yesterday Wifey asked me to fix it. I checked connections, swapped phones around and eventually went to the demark box or whatever they call it these days and connected right to the...

A cop was fatally wounded by another cop using a shotgun to deal with a perp at a hospital in York PA. WGAL interviewed an tactical gear expert (apparently new title for shirt salesman) on the subject of the the officer's body armor. He stated that two pellets made it through uncovered spots...

Weld them on?

"Sounds like corporate CYA" Sure does. With R4's on a tractor that size it'd be almost 8' wide on outside of tires.

I've asked about them and most of the answers are similar to the responses on questions about zero turn mowing times:) Very little useful and measurable information. "I can mow your yard in half the time with my XXX" without even knowing what they're competing with. We need to come up with a...

Sort of a similar situation here several years ago. For about 6 years the DIY-cabbed L3200 with a 6' LandPride RFM was "OK" but a wider mower and A/C were desired. Roughly figuring another 5HP each for the wider deck and A/C meant moving from 32HP to 42HP. So in 2018 we went shopping. At the...

I said "timing belt" but pretty sure it's the belt drive for the oil pump.

I view powder coating as something that's often not done well enough to provide a durable and long-lasting finish. Here's a picture of a snow blower I sold along with my L3200. This picture was taken about 5 years after I refurbished it. The prep amounted to scraping loose paint off. Then...

I've seen powder coating fail like that, and assumed it was poor metal prep.

You're right. It sucked. I did the edge prior to getting the mag drill. It was a character building exercise:)

The prices at Messicks are generally good. I'm fortunate to be near one of their locations and several times a week pass within 1/4 mile of it. I've seen numerous complaints about their shipping costs and am glad to have them nearby
