Art, now I understand why we had a couple requests for pitmans at the furniture shop this summer. We never have a clue what our next request is going to be, guess that's why it's never been a boring job. We're really not looking to get into the pitman business that's just a bit out of our main line products, but I guess if I'd have been a girl I'd have 23 kids by now, I never could tell anybody no. A piece of straight grain ash and a few basic tools will have you a pitman. The holes got be exact or else your sickle will be out of time with the guards. Frank.

Hi Alan,
I think I have the Mitsubishi diesel engine you need. I was going to install it in another project but found a Kubota diesel engine for it. I'm more familiar with Kubotas because others happen to be used on some other equipment I've used. Both brands of these diesels are incredibly good and appear very similar. For my use, it felt more comfortable going with the Kubota in case something ever gave trouble I'd have another available for side-by-side comparison and even parts swapping if it came to that. So I still have the Mitsubishi diesel.

Drop me a note at LoveLearn(no spam) at iw.net but remove the (no spam) which blocks some automatic trash mail used to send out trash mail. We can exchange information and chat to see if this might help both of us.

Well, I went and purchased the bale spear and used it last night and it worked great. I did have to turn the lower pins inward because the lower arms would not swing out far enough. I backed it into a 4'x4' approx. 700lb bale and lifted it right up. The bx22 did not even flinch. I considered putting weight in the loader to offset it but found that it wasn't necessary. Worked like a charm. King Cutter cat 1 at TSC for 170.00.

Is it safe to say that my local gas stations here in southern New Hampshire are already carrying the "winter blend"?<br>
<br>
Any rule of thumb when they normally switch from "summer blend" to "winter blend" and then back again?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>

Another fuel additive success story!

Glad to hear you are back up and running.

I wondered if the fuel might have thickened due to seasonal temperature changes.

In terms of the small fittings, that engine only burns about 1/2 gallon of fuel per hour running flat out. A 1/4 inch orifice would drain the tank by gravity in a few minutes so it provides plenty of flow to the fuel pump.

6}most likely not the full amount

When we bought our x595, the dealer brought a 585 out for us to use while waiting on ours to get in. The 585 performed great for us. We cut a lot of grass on hilly, sloping land and even with a 62" deck, it never even chugged down at all going up the hills/slopes.
The HS made it great for mowing around the 40 some fruit trees we have.
We ordered the 595 for the diesel engine and ended up with SE edition for the seat that came with it - big extra cost but when you're mowing 4-5 hours on it, it made a huge difference.

In addition to being cheaper to produce in Mexico, another reason for the change is for segment smashing power. Whereas the current TEN series (4210,4310,4410) have 28, 32, 35 gross HP respectively, the new TWENTY series mid-size (3320,3520,3720) will have 32.4, 37.7, and 43.7 gross HP. The 3520 and 3720 will have turbocharged 1.5L diesels. This will put JD at the top of the heap power wise and the motors will be cheaper to produce to boot.

Perhaps the dealer will demo one with a blade attch. if that is your biggest demand for power and size needed?
It seems it would depend on the gravel. Is it fine and loose
or hard packed with good size rocks? Have them prove it,or rent one similar and try it. IMHO it would be money well spent. Lots of promises in the showroom.

You said insulating an unheated slab isn't needed? Don't you
think that it would keep the frost from penetrating the soil under the slab?

If WI wasn't so far from VA I'd be on my way over with my new Bushmaster AR-15 Varminter/scope....I've been ithching to put it to work. A Ruger 10/22 will do, though. I get some here in my suburban creek bank with a Ruger MKII .22 pistol.

A few years ago on the farm we stumbled on a really good bait/poison. It was a pesticide called Furidan, long outlawed because it seemed to kill lots of birds, and anything else that came in physical contact with the purple granules. Varmints picked it up on their feet and fur, carried it back to the den where they dined on their last meal....

My Shibaura SD 2200 tractor was stolen then recovered. When I went to pick it up it would not start. I believe there is a problem with the coil warmer. I recall that when I used to move the key to the warm position that two lights came on, now only one comes on and it won't start. I found a wire loose on the "drivers side" of the tractor but when I tried to ground it there was no improvement. How can I verify how the wiring should be configured. Also the ignition was changed out so it could be a problem there.
