Could be good job security unless the fines are large and quicker.<br>

Along that line there is suppose to be a law against unsolicited FAXes, soliciting business. Something like $500 per fax. If you are in business you might have notice there was a drop off about 2 years ago and they have slowly crept back up, or have for me. I was sending those to the FCC and they sent me a notice they did not have time for that. Oh well, why write the law?

Did you save the filter? If WIX shows it as proper filter they should hold some reasonability in repair. If it shows as proper filter on web site print that off (they can change quickly) but you may find a disclaimer as to the web site being accurate. Just covering tracks.

Is possible there was some trash (mabye part of the inside of the filter) pushed into the valve body slowing the flow?

The question I think asked earlier and I don't see a comment from you on it, are you sure you don't have bad fuel or water in it?

Something that has worked for me a time or two is to pull it to crank. You can get a faster engine turn over than the starter and for longer period of time. If you do, be careful. If you have a hydrostat trans have no idea if this could damage it.

Hang in there, you will get it going.

I have an 04 Access Cab with auto and 2 wheel drive. My driving is about 7 miles from home to town and about 30 to 40 percentage in town. Mind you not a large city but stop. I will average 17 mpg on every tank that I have check adn that is 9 out of 10. Just filled up this morning. It ran about 17.8 but there were more hwy miles than normal. Have been too long to know what a true tank of just hwy mpg is. Power is very good.

FYI: Toyota is giving $6,000 rebates here and this morning showed 0% financing, I think with the rebate. Do suspect they are trying to move the current Tundra before what I understand is a bigger 07 is on lot. At same time, not sure with the 06 or 07 but with the 04's there is a varaince in the size of the pickup. From some comments here seems to still be true with the 06. The full double cab is the model they compare to Ford. Why? It has a wider body and bigger bed than the Access Cab. Park the two right beside each other and you can see it. They often don't park them right beside each other on the local lots.

Something I ran into on my pickup was price was told over the phone and all and after driving an hour to that dealership due to inventory and price...now what amount do we ad to this for the dealership? Very serious. More games at dealerships than on ESPN.

Been very pleased with my pickup.

Mine is not what you may be looking for but I have model about same as your's. While holding the key in the crank position with all levers where then need to be, gently move each one a little each way and you probably will find the switch that is the problem if it is just slipped or a littel out of postion.

I was abourt to adjust switch so it was clear in neutral when it hit me, good anti theft system so I two years later pulling that lever ever so lightly when cranking.

With tractors as dangerouos as they can be with all that is moving, I sure would hate to by pass any safety switch.

I worked for a manf. that used Duetz as an option. At high rpms running such as hyd they did fine. Boy, when you went to drive off, a 3 year old on a trike would pass you. No torque. Well compared to Cat, Cummins or Detroit.

Blueman, there probably is a valve you can open and drain the water out of where is suppose to be air for compression in your tank. The older style tanks are worse on this than the tanks with the air bladder in them.

As to running your ac off of the gas, as has been pointed out there are systems that use heat to cool. Also, don't they make a generator that uses natural gas to run the engine?

Roy,
I don't know about he BX or Kubota at all. Having said that in my part of the world spaces were and are used a fair amount on tractors rear wheels in tobacco fields to get the necessary width for the crop (two rows).

I appreciate the Merry Christmas and to you and your household Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Yooperpete and Hardwood,
Bet Santa dropped those off early so you two could team up and help him out. He probably is counting on you to make the CUT runs!

Yes, CHRIST MAS is a great time of the year.

JD, I had a Troybilt and would have said it was reverse rotation but that was too many years ago. Guess the tines being BEHIND the tires was the reverse I remembering.

Hardwood, never seen machine you mentioned but rotary hoes used here were a lot like that. Not sure they were ever used with planters.

EW,
I had thought it would take a while to heat the wash pot but it seems you might be cooking your own goose and not need my help. I can toss in some Texas Pete if need be, that and a couple of onions should be sufficient. Or does there need to be nice shinny red apple gotten ready?
