333 amps.... max draw for your converter, and that is not considering inefficiencies. You are not going to get that big an alternator. You need to go a PTO genset and run the tractor.

While the paranoia of diesel in my gas machines, gas in my diesel machines looms and keeps me awake at night, more terrifying is straight gas in a two stroke. Oh well.

I'd go non-turbo, one less part to go bad. Most diesels are designed to run at rated output, basically forever No need to have 'headroom' especially for your use where you know you could not ever accidentally over load the engine for any extended period of time; One big ass power washer.....

Sort of similar. Yesterday, I was felling a few trees. Hot!. Caps on the ends of my loppers kept falling off, so I decided to stick them in my pockets and glue on later. So I was kind of keeping an eye on the ground. Found a new 1" snap ring... what is it from???

On my 'not Orange' mower, the pins vertically are a loosey-goosey fit. Tight would require greasing and some method of keeping grit out. A loose fit, while it will wear (a little), does not need greasing and will not retain grit. Kind of dumb for them to not be like casters and roll in the...

While my rig may not be what you want, the basic concept (a good sized tank, a pump of some sort and a nozzle that shuts off) is golden. Being able to fill a tank, just like you'd fill your car at a gas station is the way to go. Easy, no lifting and no spilling. For those still fighting with...

Maybe he was skinny? Really ratty Bronco. If I were to venture a guess (and I will, I will) Driving at a very high rate of speed, rusted out vehicle and a lot of booze combined.

The BX25D came standard with a BH. It has a wacky seat that lifts up vertically, rotates and then sits back down facing the rear of the tractor to enable operation of the backhoe. When facing forward, you can unhook the rear of the seat and tilt it (flip) forward as well. I'm amazed it is as...

Alright, had some time earlier. You can engage the rear PTO sitting on the seat and you can stand (obviously has a timer) but you have about three seconds (at most) to stand and lift the seat before shutdown. Not real safe if you are old and clumsier. Safer method is to start the tractor...

Your book is probably more correct. Firecracker safety. Hold in hand Light fuse Run away Enjoy explosion. Drop firecracker.

I chip it and spread on walking trails. I leave the debris in lengths (straight branches) Then drive by, chip right there, spread and move on. Piles of branches and sticks are never more than waist high. Do some, take a knap.

I got the levers right. The book is in error.. The book tells you to select the rear and engage it. There is no time delay from when you get up to shut off. Instantaneous shutoff. The book says to engage (operate the clutch) then get up. Spin the seat. A simple typo.S/B spin the seat, put the...

Well, for starters, they are a tad illogical. Also, I said in my first post, as soon as I got up with the PTO engaged, the tractor shut down. The RTFM instructions say to engage the PTO, then get up and....(my tractor would shut down at this point). Instead, it makes a little sense to have to...

Ok... read the manual a few times. Not 100% logical though. It tells me to get the PTO running (clutch engaged) then hit the seat release and raise the seat????. Then flip it as if I were using the BH.???? Tomorrow,.... maybe i'll try but.... I'll do it how it makes sense. Raise and flip the...

I'd... use a oring on the cap.
