Smart move. Without proper crimpers, replacement lugs are typically not going to help. Crimpers are expensive, extremely so. Without the right crimper for the size of the lug barrel, you will not get a proper compression and it simply will not last. I've dealt with more than one bad...

If the lugs/clamps on the battery cables have been replaced with crimped connectors (but perhaps not a proper crimper), you'll probably want to invest in some OE cables and replace them. You have no idea how little resistance it takes to stop a starter. I'd venture to guess that the PO didn't...

Ya know, I just thought of something. My other orange tractor (Husqvarna YTH-2246) does indeed have a reverse contact that can be bypassed with an extra keyswitch position so that I can reverse with the mower while the blade is engaged. I need to look at that setup closely because it's pretty...

So do you feel like the 8H model is worth the extra $500? I can deal with $500 when I'm spending $2500 to start with. I can't deal with the wishing I'd already spent the $500 for a better machine. I'm looking for flexibility (able to handle larger horsepower as a resale point, feed rate as a...

Good switch, nice package, but still, with the slight movement in the treadle it takes on the Hydrostatic transmissions, you're long gone before the beeper ever starts making any noise. The thing with a standard stick that makes it easier is that you have to have the clutch pushed in before you...

I didn't know Ivory soap could have so many different flavors. I was practically a connoisseur, but not necessarily by choice.

The missus got a new fisheye lens for her camera several years ago. We laughed so hard at that photo, I decided to use it for my avatar on most anything I do online. I was so close to the camera that it made me cross-eyed too, so that along with my nose looking like it's the size of a football...

The first thing I do with anything I buy is get every shop manual, parts manual, and operating manual for it that I can find. I'm a tinkerer, engineer, and more curious than a cat. I like to know how things work. That's how I generally find out what labels belong where, and probably whether...

You're correct, you have quite a bit more PTO HP than I have. As stated above, though, according to the specs and a lot of reviews I've read/watched, I should be able to power the WM-8H or the WC-68. I'll just have to be careful with the infeed, but even then, I think I'll stall the tractor...

You are correct. It's the WM-8H that has the belt drive, and the TM-86H is the direct drive with no belts at all (just noticed the direct drive pump). Sorry, rolled the model numbers. The TM-86H has the clam-shell access that I like, very similar in construction to the Woodland Mills, but the...

Strange, I get an upstate New York address.

I'm looking directly at the Woodland Mills site, not a distributor so I'm not too concerned about getting a knockoff. The Wallenstein doesn't seem to be that much higher quality than the Woodland Mills, and in fact, the two are VERY similar in construction. I simply cannot justify paying that...

THAT was exactly my point. We live in a world these days where we must make every effort to cover our butts and protect ourselves from frivolous suits. All it takes is ONE precedent case. Whether such exists or not, I don't know. But I'll continue to operate on the premise that there...

Thanks for the input, and while I'll point out that it got your attention, I'll take your suggestion to heart about changing the subject.

Shopping and trying to make an intelligent choice on a good chipper. Option 1: WC68 6″ PTO Wood Chipper, Wood Chipper | Woodland Mills USA I like this machine, and the delivery on it is impressive. The flywheel is direct drive, 200 lbs, and the hydraulic pump (for the infeed) is the only...

The connecting point and length of the top link more changes the arc geometry of the equipment as it's raising, lifting the back end of it higher for better departure angle. It also affects lifting capacity of the tractor, depending on the distance of the attachment's center of gravity from the...

You're on the right channel. If you're going to be working in tight spaces, the last thing you need is for that blade to hang on something you are just passing by. You obviously don't mind swapping attachments, and you're probably correct that the land blade will do a good job with levelling...

As far as the stickers are concerned, it's probably a good idea not to remove them if you ever plan on selling the tractor or equipment, or make sure you replace them before you transfer the ownership of that equipment. Do what you want, and whatever makes you think your machine looks better...

Umm, this is almost as entertaining as finding out the oil leak that freaked me out on my other orange brand lawn tractor was just a loose oil filter. While greatly relieved that I didn't have to bust the block to fix it, I felt pretty silly for not checking the easiest and most obvious...

We have "Do Not Eat" stickers on laundry detergent because? Someone did it. We have HOT do not touch stickers on mufflers because? Someone did it. Those kinds of stickers are now printed in multiple languages along with heiroglyphics. Why? You don't have to be able to read to sue a...
