The M6060 “seems” a bit large for the proposed work. I’m curious what the neighbors doing the same thing are running? Another plug for an HST here too. OP, if you haven’t operated an HST previously, give it a try. I’ve used both and really appreciate the HST for my uses. That said, my old...

Thanks for following up with what the resolution was. Glad you’ve got it fixed.

In case you didn’t know (somehow it took me until the last decade), the Japanese brands (Honda and Toyota) use “JIS” (Japanese Industrial Standard) screws that look like Phillips but really are not. If the head had a single dimple in it, it’s JIS and the right driver bit can really help not...

A good challenge. If this stuff was easy, anyone could do it.

Exercising the appropriate precautions, of course. Always want to check the appropriate assemblies.

And your install will be cleaner than you could pay someone to do it for you. I’m sure of it. Take your time, route the lines so they don’t rub anything. Use the OEM sheath if you can and a few zip ties. Modify the mounting brackets if needed to exactly fit your OEM mounting points. It will come...

The explanation given is correct. The pump is in no danger. Get a 7.5 amp fuse if it’s a big worry.

I’m sure the dealer prefers to swap out the clutch and compressor as an assembly. They’ll likely swap out the water pump and alternator too if you whisper a concern. More parts to charge mark up on. Less likely one of the two fails in the warranty period and you come back in unhappy and they...

So, you ordered the skid plate too? BX expanded makes one a lot of folks use. If nothing else, you could fab something up. Good time to clean up the machine under the shiny stuff.

Good fixing. So the air gap was 25 thousands over spec? I wonder how it would grow that much without some major wear on the clutch surfaces, which shouldn’t be slipping while in contact. If the magnetic coil is a bit weak, and it’s always been 25 out of spec, I wonder if that would explain it...

I hope it’s not the LA435S “swif-tach” model. E.g. truly an LA435 w/o the “S”. I have the “swif-tach” version and I think all of those mechanisms are junk waiting to break with a cross look. Several youtube videos of folks unceremoniously neutering their FELs of the swif-tach parts. Pretty...

I’ve noticed the same thing with ads in the last month. Prior that it never occurred. The ads pop up from the bottom of the screen on my mobile and obstruct most of what I was trying to read. Do not have this issue on any other sites.

You are welcome. I’m surprised it worked, but I’m pleased it helped.

Although the problem sounds more significant than just air in the steering hydraulics, here’s what worked for me when my steering had sone trouble due to starving the engine for fuel nose up and pushing the HST and turning the steering wheel getting off the hill with a dead engine. Jack up the...

I agree with the assessment of the steel being sub par. I have an RCR 1860 that I’ve beat mercilessly for hundreds of hours. I’ve broken everything except the cross bar on mine, skirt, skids, gear box, blades, tail wheel, tail wheel bracket assembly, cracked stock welds on the deck, etc. My...
