I wish I had a distributor for the Homer's Duck Butter in this area :-). You just can't get the good products on the East Coast.

Thanks Iowafun, after reading your POST I checked out the discussion you mentioned. I don't have a TSC around here but I will look into a farm supply or snow plow dealer.

I checked to see what type of filter I have on mine for the HST. It appears to be a NH filter because as you described, it has the "Change at 50 and 300 hours" on it. The way it was positioned I could not see any number on the filter. While you can picture the difference between what works and what doesn't, why not try seeing if you can find an after market filter like WIX. You'll probably be able to tell just by looking at it if it will work or not after just going through this. From what I've read they're a good filter. I have WIX as the Hydraulic and Oil filters right now. I don't know how I happened to have a NH HST filter and WIX for the others. I'd still be after them to give me replacement filters for the ones that blew out. As you can see from the filter numbers on their website, their filter replaces the SBA340500890. You can find a dealer near you. I'm just north of Scranton and get my WIX filters in Clarks Summit. I don't know where you are in NEPA. I'll probably get a WIX for the HST next time I change it. Hopefully it won't blow out. Let me know how you make out with future filters. Steve

Although I don't use the products, a check of Slick 50's website shows they're still in business and doing well. They offer a multitude of products.

FEMUSE, listen to these guys. With the property you're talking about I don't think that even with the 35-40hp machines you're going to say, "Gee, my tractor has too much horsepower, I wish I bought something smaller." Unless your budget really prohibits it, I'd go with that size tractor. You'll find a lot of uses for it and keep adding attachments as time goes on.

Thanks for passing that along Mark. My utmost respect for Jordan, his comrades, their sacrifices and what they're doing in Iraq and other parts of the world. A friend of one of my own relatives, a Lt., just returned from duty in Iraq. He felt we belonged there, that we were making a difference and shared the same sense of duty and honor as Jordan. You don't seem to hear that in the media.
I cringe when I see Cindy Sheehan and her supporters on TV. I empathize the loss of her son but she, and now, Rep. John Murtha from my home state, are responsible for prolonging the war and it's casualties. The enemy sees and hears this division at home and is emboldened by it. As with your friends son Jordan, I have the utmost respect for Rep. Murtha's service and sacrifice for this country, but, how can you say to pull our troops out after all of this? What about all the service people that have given their lives? Was it for nothing? Do we just say, well, sorry! If I had a son or daughter get killed in Iraq I'd be pissed but if they now just up and pulled out after having a son or daughter killed I'd be looking for revenge on someone's ass. I was putting gas in my car when it was $3 a gallon. There was a woman behind me and a man on the other side of the pumps. Though I normally keep to myself, I commented, "Some people say we're in Iraq ONLY for the oil, if that's correct, I wish we'd start taking some." The woman misunderstood my comment and said, "Yes, I don't know what we're doing over there!" and made a few other comments about the President. The gentleman on the other side of the pumps said, "Would you rather them be fighting over here?" I personally believe we would be!
I have to say one other thing. I don't consider myself to be prejudicial, BUT, I don't hear Muslims condemning the slaughter of innocent people (especially women and children), beheadings, mutilation of bodies, etc. If they don't condemn it, they must support it. If they support it, then I guess I'm against all Muslims. So be it.
That's all my opinion and I suppose I could be wrong.
Like I said, I normally keep to myself, sorry for the rant but not for my feelings on it.

homeinOR, I haven't checked out the websites offered by anyone here but I'm sure they offer some good options.
I don't know how far you are from Portland Meadows racetrack but where does the ground get more beat up from horses than at a racetrack? I've seen what they use at a distance to groom the track after each race at Meadowlands a few times but don't know exactly what it is. You may consider calling them if they aren't close and asking maintainance what they use on the track or other areas. I also realize there's probably a difference between constant grooming and doing it once a month or so. Steve

Well, another six months has passed. I removed the deck from the tractor, cleaned it up and measured the blades (again) in order to give the dimensions to Specialty Small Engine in Illinois for their Gator Blades. The Pilot hole on my blades is 7/8 inch. The Pilot hole on the blade that was closest to mine (For an X-Mark) was 5/8 inch. They said I could have a machine shop re-drill the holes to 7/8 inch but I don't want to do that. Also, the blades they talked about were only .203 inches, not 1/4" as mine are.
They also said that to make it worth their while to set up the machinery they had to sell about 7500 blades. They didn't feel they would be able to do that with my particular mower and so could not foresee manufacturing a blade for my mower deck. I'm disappointed. I guess I finally give up on Gator Blades.

AV8R, Another resource you may want to check out, especially if you have a campus nearby, is the University Of Wisconsin. Give them a call and tell them your concerns. I'm sure they can direct you to the campus or extension that can help you out. I'm quite sure they do that type of testing. Steve

Shortmagnum, just wanted to add my condolences. I'm also a dog lover, partial to Labs. When I lose one of the guys I don't even want to talk to anyone for a few days. It takes me long time to get over it and I hesitate to use that terminology because I never REALLY DO. For a few years I worked with a Golden Retriever as part of my job. Like a lot of people would, a few of the people I worked with would refer to the dog as "The Mutt." I would always say, "He has papers to prove his lineage, I doubt you could say the same." That usually shut them up.
Again, my condolences. Steve

The UNFORTUNATELY part of your response makes me think differently but I hope it was a good move for you. I've long thought that work should be FUN no matter what you do. If the money comes close to what you need to live on and you enjoy what you do that means an awful lot. When the money is more than sufficient to live on and you like what you do than you're a lucky guy. Best wishes in the new career. Steve
