The M6060 “seems” a bit large for the proposed work. I’m curious what the neighbors doing the same thing are running? Another plug for an HST here too. OP, if you haven’t operated an HST previously, give it a try. I’ve used both and really appreciate the HST for my uses. That said, my old...

Thanks for following up with what the resolution was. Glad you’ve got it fixed.

In case you didn’t know (somehow it took me until the last decade), the Japanese brands (Honda and Toyota) use “JIS” (Japanese Industrial Standard) screws that look like Phillips but really are not. If the head had a single dimple in it, it’s JIS and the right driver bit can really help not...

A good challenge. If this stuff was easy, anyone could do it.

Exercising the appropriate precautions, of course. Always want to check the appropriate assemblies.

And your install will be cleaner than you could pay someone to do it for you. I’m sure of it. Take your time, route the lines so they don’t rub anything. Use the OEM sheath if you can and a few zip ties. Modify the mounting brackets if needed to exactly fit your OEM mounting points. It will come...

The explanation given is correct. The pump is in no danger. Get a 7.5 amp fuse if it’s a big worry.

I’m sure the dealer prefers to swap out the clutch and compressor as an assembly. They’ll likely swap out the water pump and alternator too if you whisper a concern. More parts to charge mark up on. Less likely one of the two fails in the warranty period and you come back in unhappy and they...

So, you ordered the skid plate too? BX expanded makes one a lot of folks use. If nothing else, you could fab something up. Good time to clean up the machine under the shiny stuff.

Good fixing. So the air gap was 25 thousands over spec? I wonder how it would grow that much without some major wear on the clutch surfaces, which shouldn’t be slipping while in contact. If the magnetic coil is a bit weak, and it’s always been 25 out of spec, I wonder if that would explain it...

I hope it’s not the LA435S “swif-tach” model. E.g. truly an LA435 w/o the “S”. I have the “swif-tach” version and I think all of those mechanisms are junk waiting to break with a cross look. Several youtube videos of folks unceremoniously neutering their FELs of the swif-tach parts. Pretty...

I’ve noticed the same thing with ads in the last month. Prior that it never occurred. The ads pop up from the bottom of the screen on my mobile and obstruct most of what I was trying to read. Do not have this issue on any other sites.

You are welcome. I’m surprised it worked, but I’m pleased it helped.

Although the problem sounds more significant than just air in the steering hydraulics, here’s what worked for me when my steering had sone trouble due to starving the engine for fuel nose up and pushing the HST and turning the steering wheel getting off the hill with a dead engine. Jack up the...

I agree with the assessment of the steel being sub par. I have an RCR 1860 that I’ve beat mercilessly for hundreds of hours. I’ve broken everything except the cross bar on mine, skirt, skids, gear box, blades, tail wheel, tail wheel bracket assembly, cracked stock welds on the deck, etc. My...

Hum. Seems like he turned your little shed into junk and left most of there? If he wasn’t a good neighbor, I’d probably stop wasting my time with him.

Too bad enough lousy decision making occurred that this was the result. If anyone had to parish, at least it was the responsible party, presuming a mechanical/electrical failure did not cause this. If there is a silver lining, it’s that no one else is as injured or worse.

Not to take away from some other neat ideas for stands, but if we’re taking about the landscape rake like @bird dogger has in the link above, with wire tines, could an upended 5 gallon pail work? The load would be maybe 20-30 lbs.

Interesting tidbit about paying property tax with firewood. I presume this was pre WWII? The last time I read about a public entity accepting something other than money was a late 1800s requirement that able bodied male landowners had to work one day a year on the roadcrew as part of their...

Yup. And they only charge a “little” extra for it. You pay for what you get. On occasion you might even get what you pay for (but do not count on it).
