Cutter; I'm with you on this one. I used to have the "Best of both worlds" with a FEL and a three pt. snowblower on a big farm tractor. I've been on the verge of buying a rear blower for my 4310 but still think they are overpriced for a small blower.

Thanks for the info guys. I did talk to the local appliance dealer about it a few days ago, he sold us the frige 10 yrs. ago. He said that with the type of compressor ours has that a small electric heater should be installed on the compressor to keep the oil from getting too thick. We moved it into the warm shop, it had been in the house up til this winter. That's interesting about the temp of beer freezing. My neighbor tells me that pop will stay thawed below 32 because of the sugar in it, Diet pop he says is just colored water and chemicals, it freezes.

I'm with Kthompson on this. I'm not very familliar with their linkage system from the pedal to the actual hydro pump inside the tractor (mechanical/electronic??), but with no restrictions in the flow of fluid to the pump that is about all that's left to go wrong. Frank.

Dennis; Like you all my kids do their banking and bill paying online. I guess I'm just a bit too old fashoned for all that, I still want to write a check to pay a bill. I've also heard the stories that if you are late on one credit card you can get an intrest jump on others you aren't late on. That's one of the reasons we are elimenatiing the credit cards down to no more than one or two accounts.

We got thru it without loosing power, but just south of us they were out most of the day. The freezing rain stopped about mid day then we had about four inches of snow on top, that actually made it better under foot with some snow frozen onto the ice. Frank.

Duke; The 503 is not a familliar model number to me, I have an MX5. Deere built most everything from super heavy duty to light duty cutters. If it is in decent shape and it fits your tractor 250.00 isn't much for a decent cutter in todays market. I'm sure Deere would have parts forever for it too, Frank.

I'm sure lots of people started married life with less than we did, but it couldn't have been much less, so Christmas for each other was just plain out of the question. Somehow we always made sure the kids,(5) had a decent gift. After we got to where we could afford a gift for each other we just never did. I guess after a few medical close calls for both of us we are just glad to still be here 47 yrs. later. That's gift enough for us. Frank.

JJ; Welcome to the board and thanks for the info on rape. Your post also solves a mystery for my son and I. At the Farm Progress Show, a super large farm equipment display held annualy here in the U.S. My son and I saw a cutterbar header for a combine that had vertical sickle attachments, one on each end of the platform that were about 36/48 inches tall. We wondered what they would be used for, so you solved it for us. Thanks. frank.

I like my Land Pride with the adjustable top hook. So far I haven't had any issues with the bottom pin spacing being any different on various impliments. I've had mine for quite a while so the cost isn't freah in my mind, but a bit over 200.00 seems to ring a bell. Several months ago I saw some Deere literature about some sort of self connecting PTO shaft to go along with their I-match hitch, but so far have never saw one live and in person. Frank.

Maybe Just a bit of history on breakin oils, Back in the late fiftys and sixties, before diesel engines became popular in farm tractors, we usually overhauled "H" and "M" Farmalls ourselves, they were a pretty simple engine to work on. I don't remember any oil specificaly called breakin oil, but #10 non detergent was always used as the breakin oil for the first change period even in hot weather when #30 was normally used. Frank.

Thanks Joel, that's more like it. I'm sure that this time of year isn't the best for finding a bargan in a snowblower, so I'll wait till spring to go looking. We had a mix of mostly freezing rain Saturday that coated our crushed rock drive and parking aeria with about an inch of pure ice. I did something that maybe isn't recommended by the builders of box blades, but I lowered the scarifier teeth to their most exposed setting, pulled it up and down the drive a few times and ended up with a mix of crumbled ice and about the right amount of crushed rock. I gave the box blade a good look over after I finished and it looked just fine. Frank.

The Mrs. just bought three new mattress/box spring thingys for the getaway house. I heard her and the lady at the furniture store going on about "Pillow Tops" what ever they are while I kind of snoozed in a nearby recliner. I don't know what brand, what size, even what color, but ours sure is comfy. The check I wrote would have bought a pretty nice major power tool tho. Maybe that's why I was cranky. Frank.

Ew; You read me like a book, they may ask me to surrender my flag for not likeing turkey, but in real crude language, I can't stand the stuff. Cranky this morning? Yes a bit, likely from OD'ing on ham and pumpkin pie, is there a morning after adult beverage that will cure this? Rather than you ending up getting arrested for creating some sort of Dr. Kovorkian type sucicide machine,I can give you the name of a fellow who will fix you up with a brand new shiny Gator that will be the pride of your fleet. Enjoy all that leftover turkey for me. frank.
