    Unable to start

    Try bench testing the starter just in case it is binding or some other safety switch is engaged.

    Ticks! Yikes

    A distant friend just died in TN from a tick in less than 3 weeks, and he had medical care. We don't have a lot of ticks in my area of MT, but we do have some. In any case, be careful out there.

    Hi, new to the forum. How'd I do on my first tractor purchase?

    Welcome. Sounds like a pretty good deal.

    What price range should I be expecting?

    Man, that's a powerful pressure washer.

    Also, no idea, but my guess is it might be cheaper to buy an entire tractor. At least, easier to find.

    Quick connect query

    Temperature can impact the pressure. Try in the the AM. I assume you went every direction for your lever. Other than that, you can barely crack the lines. Keep hands out of the way.

    Anybody having problems with Messicks web site, being blocked by Cloudflare?

    Yep, I'm sure a few of us here were in the industry when the browser wars started or as some would say, before they started. ;) To be clear, I'm not laughing at you.

    A rant. What were they thinking in Yahoo? Were they thinking at all?

    Do you hear the dialup modem as well? :D

    A bit of a long rant. They don't build pickup trucks like they use toooooo.

    There are still old cars with good frames. That seems to have more to do with what was put on the road than the frame. I agree that the coatings are mostly better although OEMs occasionally miss a spot.

    I'm assuming your Huawei is an android. Why not install Chrome? Chrome should be available even if it's some other OS. I find it useful to have more than one browser for occasional website issues.

    A rant. What were they thinking in Yahoo? Were they thinking at all?

    The funny thing is yahoo got hit with major complaints about security years ago. I'm surprised anyone is still using it. Of course, the same goes for gmail. @hotmail.com could mean you are old, or simply an early adopter. I know a lot of old people with yahoo and gmail addresses. Hotmail...

    A picture could be close. @BorisMA has a very good picture in this thread https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/la-525-changing-hoses-and-getting-rid-of-air.75496/. I expect it doesn't matter if it is a L2501 or L3901.

    Can you lend me 35 cents for a hamburger today, and I will gladly pay back on Tuesday????

    Interesting project. Is it only for practice or don't they make them any more? In any case, I'm wondering what the payback is. :D
