For sure, older Jeeps had parts from a lot of manufacturers.

At the end of April, the Knoxville Dogwood trail is nice. It's just West of UT Campus when you cross the bridge. It's a drive through path. You just follow the signs. The people in the area have nice landscaping with flowers etc. It's an older part of town. In the Smoky Mtns, see Cades...

I agree with might as well reinforce it while the welder is hooked up.

I think it would be ok. For one, most are only about 2 amps. Worse case, it would be similar to jump starting for the tractor. Chargers generally have circuitry to shut them off when full charge is reached. On the other hand, why wouldn't you just unplug?

Just some ideas... Maybe it's not the engine she thinks it is. But also, there are a lot of people selling parts for that engine on eBay. There's always junk yards. I'd have her call the local ones to see if anyone has the same engine. Finally, if she has the original part, maybe it can be...

If you are shopping, these are some models you might want to avoid. A few similarities ... lots of tech that failed.

Turn it off. I don't need more rain. ;)

I think it should be fine in SoCal if that's where you are. What does it have with it? Does it have a loader, or extra hydraulics?

How many filters are you guys using per year? With high usage by me, I'd use 3. I didn't buy my Kubota to see if other filters "might" be just as good. YMMV.

I don't think a filter is the place to save money. It's a few dollars at most.

I had it for a year. I don't usually break things, so it seemed like a waste for me. I didn't renew. If you do break things, it seems like a fair deal. YMMV.

No problems with me either, Safari.
