Well, the verdict is in...the Harris kit I purchased along with the tanks from the welding store had a propane tip on the cutting torch. I took it back down to them to ask for help and they took it in the back...after about 10 minutes they came out and took me back to show me the problem. They thought I put the tip on but it is the one that came with the kit and it matched the tip in the kit on the floor so I was proven right on this point. They were very nice and explained pressure to me saying not to run the acy. more than 5 lbs and the oxy. about 38 lbs for cutting. Seems they figured I compansated for the tip by uping pressure and this caused the acy. to spit the fluid out. I still wasn't completely sold until I unloaded it this morning and cut with it today...worked fine. Thanks everyone for the info and schooling does sound good. Also, I will check out the site mentioned and see what info I can pick up!

I just got a new set of torches from my loving wife as a gift. Always had a welder but really needed a set of cutting torches (well, kinda needed them). I put them together but I'm not sure of the pressures to run. The very small booklet that came with it is not very clear. Any help would be apprec. Thanks

Harvey, thanks for the info. I tore it apart, cleaned the disks and reassembled. I snugged it well and have put on about 10 hrs since with no problem. It isn't very hard and I'm not a fan of returning it to the dealer. In the past I've found they somtimes mess more up than they fix. Just seems to be my luck. anyway, love this site and thanks for the help.

I mounted an aftermarket flood light on my 4500. I used the bolt from the flashers which mount on the outside of the ROPS and mounted the back light on the inside. I ran a wire down the rops and connected it to the JD hookup provided. This light needed only 1 wire to power and other wire grounded. I put a switch on the mounting bracket between switch and ground so I can turn it off if I only want a front light. Cost for light and switch $15. Of course, it is not green and yellow... By the way, I am very pleased with my JD. Very smooth and capable machine.

Thanks for the quick response Chim. I will have to check other suppliers tomorrow. Can you tell me what brand/company those part numbers are from? I read the Binkley & Horst part but I am not close to there (Northeast PA). I like your homemade bar alot better than the ones I have seen the manufacturers selling. Seems like when you want somthing done right, ...

I just purchased a 4500 w/fel and would like to put a cutting edge with teeth on the bucket. Dealer tells me $395 so I wondered about aftermarket. Thanks for any help!

Mark, that is exactly what I am looking for. I e-mailed for a price but if too much I will build one like it.
I found the CTB site only 1 week ago and have already learned much. Look forward to learning much more. Thanks again!
