What an understatement! Excellent design, unlikely to ever need reinforcements -- but you can always add a couple of gussets on each side should you want to change if from beefy to monstrous. And it's a rare occasion that I get to differ with CCR, but I believe the proper paint color is the...

So did you discover the air filter problem before you pulled the fuel check valve and hacked out the screen? Did the original run without a chain tensioner? (And is the chain length about the same?) I'm having trouble seeing how the chain could get thrown if the motor mounts are correct for...

I would be very interested in his comments, as well as your conclusions.

Yep. 'Less yer paranoid; allergic tuh stuff dey put in 'most all food now; or 'fraid uv d radiation dey use on fruit & veggies tuh make 'em look ripe. :eek::eek::eek: In any of those cases, it seems a small price to pay.

dvdog, I've recently had a starting problem with some symptoms like yours. I was convinced it was a battery problem but I was wrong. However, one thing I did was pick up a hydrometer (real cheap!) and used it with my VOM to check the battery. With a hydrometer, you can discover if your battery...

One of my labs sometimes does that. She's elderly, and has acquired the mantle of Grande Dame (and her quirks are very few), but sometimes she seems to become either insecure or very needy. Sometimes an intense bout of petting and baby-talk will suffice; other times, not even a handful of treats...

Well, I have a very small lot with serious slant issues, and a B6100D w/FEL to tame the slopes with backfill. I tried to buy a GR, but the price was prohibitive, and on my slopes, the GR was almost as tippy as the B6100. I wound up with an R322T which still induces a certain "pucker factor"...

bmblank, was that a retrofit or was your home built with it? If a retrofit, what problems did you have to overcome and what trade-offs did you make to install it?

Okay, noted. However, if you had a multi-fuel stove, wouldn't you have the same problem you are wrestling with: the pellets are just too wet? Or put another way: don't multi-fuel stoves have the same threshold requirements your stove has? Or does their "ambidextrousness" include a tolerance for...

RCW, yew be fer callin Guinness -- mus be a worl record (boxers are incapable of stayin still fer 10 minutes)! Guess he musta been cross-breeded with a cat in his very recent pedigree! :D:D:eek:

hmm... Is this a "homebuilt" device, or a manufactured one? (Guess it's pretty obvious I'm wondering about cobbling up a flow meter (even though I haven't gotten 'a round-tuit' to putting my new pressure gauge into my tractor's system) to get the final word on the health of my system.) Now, you...

Someone else will have to help with the relief valve, I dunno 'bout that. That is probably the source of your problem. Since it was a used implement, I expect it was full of fluid. Generally the easiest way to purge a system is to use exercise it while it's warm, to its limits -- all the way...

rjc1985, have you checked the rocker travel? The symptom makes me think an exhaust valve isn't opening far enough. (I realize the tell-tale signs are backfiring and lifter clatter, but...)

skeets, notwithstanding the wisdom contributed by all the other old fogeys (and a young'un er two), yer wifey is right! :D:D:D:D

Nick, is this attachment new? The Oxdale Website says: "Suitable for smaller tractor." As NIW points out, your B may have less capacity than the knocker requires. That being said, it occurs to me that it may be starving for fluid -- what did you do to purge the system of air?

Well, hmm, err... But I wasn't on OTT back then! :o Oh, well! So, "old-timer", good luck pulling that boat, and please keep us posted on your adventure!

Jim, your schematic needs an important adjustment: the flow from the control to the 3PH must be bi-directional; fluid must be released else the 3PH won't lower. On a side note, it might be misleading to cross the arrows; I envision a circular path although I imagine you are suggesting an...

Hi quazz, welcome to the forum! Your L certainly has the torque to pull the boat. The weak point would be traction -- your truck is about twice as heavy! Also, Ags are great in mud or soft ground; not as good on pavement or hard-pack gravel. Weight in the tires would make a huge difference; I...

Hi Nickhixon. When you say it will "pick up no problems", what are you picking up? Tell us the implements you can lift with it. If you hadn't said you've changed the oil and filter I would have thought you had air in the lines. Actually, what you describe sounds like that -- particularly as you...

Hey, FisheyeFarmer, welcome to the forum! Seems you have a gear drive; gear drives are either D or E models (B7100D or B7100E), not B7100HST. Behind your right heel you should see a lever that goes into the back axle -- it's the high/low range selector. Put it in low when you start plowing...
