I wouldn't "gut" the existing filter in fear if having to undo and put it back in. Remember catalytic converter test tubes? What you would want ideally is a tube or muffler that will bolt on in place of the existing filter. You may need or want a muffler in place of the filter. Sensor wise I...

I haven't studied the system but in addition to removing the filter it should be as simple as replacing the before and after sensors with simulators to keep the ECU happy.

I don't tow all that often. I replace my car trailer tires 5 at the time every 9 or 10 years whether they need it or not. I keep all 5 tires covered with those silver sun shield things when it's not being used. My spare has never come off the mount until time to replace them all.

I'm somewhat jealous. I got to use one for the last 16 years of my working life and didn't get to retire until I was 65. It's been 9 years and I don't have the space or income to own my own. I don't miss it that often. I have plenty of metal cutting and welding equipment to keep me occupied when...

Sounds like you would be cutting off your nose to spite your face to me. You're going to have parts and service issues regardless of tractor color depending on location and staff. JD Parts has been sending me emails advertising 15% off and free shipping on everything. I can order from the JD...

My LX3310 is rated at 5 GPM. Both the sickle bar and auger I bought for a mini ex were rated at 8 to 15. Like I said, the sickle bar works fine but I didn't try the auger. The hose fittings are some oddball sizes but I had them cut off and some JIC fittings installed on the hoses that came with...

Rig a bypass valve to return the unwanted flow to the tank.

It should ru but slow. I adapted a mini ex sickle bar mower to run off my 3rd function and it works. I bought one of the augers but flipped it before trying it.

The outboard weights are where they mount on the bar. It has stops that prevent them from sliding inward. It all balances out by me welding the bar support in 4 spots. Craigslist has a FREE category that people adhere to pretty well. FB listings abuse the category more so than not.

I collected used barbell weights off CL and FB for a while. On CL if you have an account and are logged in you can save a search and set it to email you if something is posted that matches your key word. I ended up with over 300 lbs at a $40 investment over time. This is a 6 ft that the 1" bar...

Nice setup! Thread Title Related:

All headrests are not angled the same. Most if not all are adjustable for height. I had to raise the one in my F150 so my head hits it at the lower area of the slant which helps but it isn't perfect. My old Mustang has aftermarket racing seats and the head area is fixed at the same angle as the...

It should be water resistant. It has a nut with a compression seal. On my old John Deere I used the same diverter you have and just wired it with two individual wires. I just smeared some silicone in the hole to seal that one.
