I'm not sure about oil filter savings but air filter savings would certainly be worth the effort to find a cross reference. The cold hearted, don't give a damn that I just caused you to drive 30 miles because I made a mistake, by the way that will be an extra $5 in addition to the cost of the wrong filter I gave you atttitude of my JD dealer is reason enough for me to never darken the doorway of the local JD dealer in this lifetime. There has been a lot of talk about replacement filters not meeting manufacturer specs on this board. I strongly suspect that persons with this concern do not go to their local Chevy or Ford dealer and demand genuine OEM filters for their motor vehicles that they depend on to get to work and conduct the day's business. I am thoroughly convinced that my tractor does not care who sold me a filter. As long as the filter performs adequately it is not a concern for me. Even if the ultimate cost is higher, at least I did not have to deal with the far less than likeable person at the local JD dealership.

Actually bubber came close but no cigar. When you hook jumper cables from your car battery to the tractor battery you are forming a parallel circuit. Voltage is constant throughout a parallel circuit. Current or amperage is dependent upon the branch of a particular parallel circuit. As for the actual cause of your starting problem bubber may be correct. Reduced voltage at the solinoid will cause it to malfunction and your starter will not engage. The reduced voltage at the solinoid may be caused by resistive contacts that have formed over time in the various safety interlock connections. Jump starting the tractor with a car probably causes a voltage increase in the then formed parallel circuit. This increased voltage is enough to compensate for the loss in the resistive contacts (via safety switches) between the tractor battery and the solinoid engagement threshold. Ergo, your tractor starts. Just buy the relay kit from JD and be done with it.

What's up with the password requirement??? Don't get me wrong. This is a great board and I have had a great time sharing experiences with other compact tractor owners. Unfortunately I really don't need another password to remember. I have useage specific passwords for the following enhancements to my life: Email at work, Vmail at work, Email at home, internet at home, credit card on line account, banking on line account, work telephone credit card number, stock market investment transfer, garage door opener number, an 888 number to retrieve work vmail from home, and the continuous social security number that serves as a user I.D. for most of the things that require a password. I will continue to view this board but I will not post to it with a password requirement. No offense to the web master but the password requirement marks the end of a free and interactive exchange between compact tractor owners to me.

I have a 5kw generator with 10 hp tecumseh and it ran rough when I first got it. On the bottom of the float bowl there is a very sensitive adjustment for the carb. Normally about 1/4 turn either way will smooth the engine out. It is a bit trickey to adjust if you are not under load. Once you get it right the engine will run smooth with or without a load and will not surge.

I did some serious shopping at 4 JD dealers. They were all close in price<br>but the best deal I found was at D&G Eqpt. in Mason Mi.<br>JD 4100 hydro 4wd w/ turf tires less DSCV $11,500.<br>With 60

Of course we have to add the Michigan 6% sales tax bringing the total to
$14,310. All I plan to use the tractor for is mowing, tilling, and adding a
rear blade for snow removal. If JD ever puts a hydro on the 790 I will
take a serious look at that one! "> What did peope pay for JD 4100
