I use Mobil Moly 52 (it's a ngli 2 grease) it is very high in moly and is designed for off road heavy equipment pins etc found on loaders excavators and backhoes. Not to mention truck spring shackles, u-joints...

Bottom line use what you have avaiable and grease it often. It will last a long time. Do not worry about excess grease around pins it helps trap and keep dirt out.

I'm gonna stretch a little here. Have you looked for a bend cylinder rod/s? Raise it all the way up and look really hard at both of them.

That is a very unhealthy thing to do. From many different stand points.

If you catch something you are apt to bend cylinder rods. Break pivot pins. Over stress bushings.

That is some of the mechanical things. We won't go into the safety issues.

Get a scraper blade, angle and tilt it that will keep the stress of ditching much lower.

Generally in this part of the country the dealers run a blended mix.

Most around here, during the cold, go 80/20 and as much as 50/50 #2 and #1.

If it was not blended it would not pump thru the strainers in the systems.

Most treatments if used according to Mfd are only about$.05 per gallon treating bulk with consentrates we are at about $.01.

Good luck with the new equipment

Frank I have looked at that idea many times, only for another purpose.

I can not see any problem with power. If it were me, I'd try to size the pump input shaft close to the pto size.

I think, (WAG) (wild ass guess) the pump would be expensive.

A 72" mid mount mower has gotta be using all avaiable power.

I need to get with the local guy at the hyd shop and prusue that idea.

The 47 & 48 will mount the same way. There is more iron hanging out on back with the 48. The 4200 will be WAAAAAAAY outta balance. But it will work. I'd be real careful around it. My 4400 is plenty light in the front as it is. I can only imiagine how light the 4200 would be. I would not work it on any type of slope.

Even better! explain to your Dr all the requirements you have to accomplish. He can write a prescription for your needed digging and lifting aid and your insurance will buy it for you.

Seriously hiring someone and getting fit into their schedule is a pain. Getting someone for just a couple of hours is a bigger pain. Doing it yourself with a wheelbarrow is even worse.

You ain't taking one dime with you and there is no point of a widow with money so spend it on something that will make your life easier.

drcjv it is chained to bucket top both sides. The weight is ALWAYS kept out away from the balance point. LOW RANGE FIRST GEAR LITTLE MORE THAN IDLE.

Longer poles can be made to do this job. I'd have to measure for sure but I think it's about 20 ft to peak.

ba wire runs down inside of rops. I folded rops added a wire sheath finished down to bottom of rops a picked up a spare lighting wire. Each set is switched up at top center with toggles. I rarely ever fold rops but if I do there is plenty of wire and sheath to make the loop.

You could IF you have a fitting for the bottom of the tank and a pump. Sometimes if it was warm enough outside my Dad could fill his tank in the car without the pump. (Car ran on propane permenent mounted).

A simpler solution: Why not run a line from big tank to BBQ? Thats how mine is.

I'm not sure if you would get any penetration. I think the rake will just load up with old grass.

You might try taking out every other tooth and that might do it.

If it does not I'm only 25 miles SW os Syr and have a old set of #PH spring tooth harrows you can borrow for the weekend.

Dennis GM uses a pinkish extended life anti freeze. I believe Texaco makes it or is very similiar.

Catapillar also uses the extended life but it is a more of a grape color. Catapillars premix extended is about $6 per gallon the way we buy it.

BTW you must have somekinda Toyota to do all that stuff ;-)

Morning Dennis my 28.8 and 32.2 (on good days) is better this am. Yup it was sluggish I figured the phone company just needed to put some line conditioner in :-) Seems the motor needed a minor tune up. But all weekend does not seem minor to me.

Most of those are built for a cat 2 or 3 hitch. You would need to convert to cat 1 and either get the 3&4 scv (remotes) or get long hoses to run to your bucket controls.

The other option is 1 remote with diverter valving. Others know more about them.
