Hi Bob, I thought you had the the hydrualic control and the outlets already. Sorry for the mess up. You should go to your JD dealer and have them put a control valve and outlets on your tractor for you. My dealer did mine for me when I bought the tractor from them. I'm not sure what the cost was though but any rate what a difference it makes on you. Especially when hooking implements up and controlling them also. Hope this sheds some light on the subject. JB

I have a set of those Northern Tool prints for the dump trailer. Very detailed and probably worth the money if you decide to build it. I am considering building this one or modifying another this winter.<br>

Be aware that the design is such that the fabrication is not for the beginner. You will need more than just average hobby strength tools to build it.<br>

Hey chief, haven't read it anyhwere, but I guess I could look. Was told this several times by two different people, one of them a Caterpillar Service rep and the other a GM test engineer. The Cat rep services over-the road Caterpillar diesels.

Just to clarify the position, block heaters are usefull for pre-heating an engine before use. Block heaters aren't recommneded ( by some, including me) for overnight or longer term storrage. There certainly is some oil loss during cool down, why aggrevate the problem further by warming the block to allow more oil wash. The whole idea of warming the oil in the pan is to assure lubrication as soon as possible during start up. If given a choice, it's better to warm the oil in the pan, and let the heat gently rise from the oil to keep the case "warm". It's alo useful to keep direct injection and indirect injection engines somewhat seperate. The difficulty during cold start is not the same for the two engines. Direct injection engines can be more difficult to cold start and may require the use of a block heater for about an hour before starting, or incomplete combustion can cause other problems. The engine we were discussing in this thread is indirect injection. At really cold temps, below -20 degrees F, both types may need some type of external heat to get full combustion, or use ether.

I'll check with my brother (Cat Rep ) to see if there is anything published.

Regards

I don't know if it will help you any, but a lot of the golf course units I am seeing have a modified air intake snorkel installed, sort of like what military vehicles run.

They run plastic pipe up to the roof level and draw the air from there, they also use a simple cyclonic trap like those found on most CUT's to remove a good portion of the particles before they even get to the filter.

Best of luck.

Any opinions will be welcome on the mf1120 4wd hydro. It looks to be in good shape and has 500 hours. Is it reliable? Any design flaws? It is rated at 16 hp and its PTO is rated at 14hp. Is this enough for tilling (with 4ft tiller) clay/gravel soil. Need to go up steep hills also.

For the $$$ you saved on that deal, you could easily go buy a brand new FEL at your dealer and still be ahead!

Might be a good idea to let everyone know about the re-call going on for the RTV. There is a problem with the hood popping open during operation.

I believe Kubota has sent out the notices.

How about a separate section for the Kubota RTV

When I heard this announcement I thought to myself there goes Sears in the toilet! I buy Craftsman hand tools also because of the warranty and yes they have a good price.

I do not make a living with my tools and these do the job for me. I have been extreamly disapointed with sears parts and if you buy something from sears you have to go to them for the very expensive parts.

As Frank said, I will not go into K-mart. I probably do Wallyworld once a year because I have to.

I have found most of the local main street vendors have the top quality for just a little more money. Hand tools and pneumatic tools come from a small mom & pop auto supply that is very competitive. They have the S-K tools and the import lines and they warrant the import lines also.

All most all (my wife does embroidery and has a top line of shirts and jackets all hi quality) of my work clothes and boots are local purchase. I used to buy Danner boots exclusively but they have moved to China also with much of their line so work boots is a shop for comfort and durability.

I'm not Bud but I'll try your answer. The archives are full of info and pricing.

Your tractor will run a 10K gen and not overpower it. You can run a larger generator but you will only get about 10K because of your HP.

I opted for a larger gen than my tractor is rated for because the difference in money is not much and I may get a larger small tractor someday, or I could put my old M on it if I had to for a larger welding unit.

I'm limited by HP and not gen me thinks gen should last longer not build as much heat...

Cost of the 20K was around $1900

Not sure about Kubota loaders. But One of the 7308 loaders lifting limit is the size of the bucket. That is why NH has never offered any thing except the normal 60" bucket for as long as that loader has been made. (about 15 years) and why it is now being phased out. If a bigger or heavier bucket is installed the you will be able to lift more. The relief valves in the control valve protect only against shock loads. The main circuit relief is set mainly for 3pt and aux. hyd. so your ass will be in the air way before the main circuit relief valve opens with a heavy load. Hence the mandated bucket size and lack of optional attachments.

Blowing things up is a whole seperate category under the heading of "Fun things to do"......... LOL

It's right up there with operating heavy equipment, big trucks and fast boats, if it was socially acceptable it would probably make it less fun.

Kind of like telling 'war stories' and passing gas at the hunt camp, it wouldn't be as much fun if you were allowed to do it at home.

Best of luck.

Ken, all this came about when the Weyerhaeuser paper mill, in Valliant OK, fired a bunch of guys for having firearms in their vehicles. I haven't heard in a while but the guys do have a lawsuit against Weyerhaeuser. I know a couple of them personally but haven't talked to them in ages.

My model of tractor(TC-18) has a different setup than yours. Under a shroud below the throttle control there is a threaded rod with 2 jam nuts one on each end. I think that this might be the adjustment for the drifting problem...Ill post either way with some pictures to let people know...

For the RECORD, I have NO association with this dealer, but wanted to pass a tip on to anyone interested in some good buys, especially if you are in Indiana. Hence, I just past by this store: COUNTRYSIDE LAWN & GARDEN, <br>
1230 NORTH JACKSON STREET, GREENCASTLE IN 46135, Tel<br>
765-653-2431 and the folks there said the doors are closing on Dec 3rd and moving all inventory. For example, they had a 2210, 62" deck, 210 loader with R4's marked at $11,850. I did notice a X465 and X475 as well as some other, if interested contact them directly. The guy I chatted with was Mike Perry. <br>

Just a followup...I've got 3200, mostly highway miles, no trailering yet, on my 1500 Quad cab Hemi. I've tried to watch my heavy foot...a chore with 345HP under the hood. I live in SW PA with rolling hills. For the last 1000 miles, I've averaged 15.7 MPG. I can't be too disappointed with that.

If the area is filling with sediment from run-off you will find it is much easier to deal with the sediment BEFORE it gets to the water.

You need to develop some form of trap for the sediment. The usual method is to make some form of depression or pond-like structure near the ditch, this way the sediment can settle in the depression before the water drains into the outlet.

They sell a cloth product generically called geo-textile fabric which will allow water to pass through but not sediment.

The simplest way may be to have the water settle into a depression and bury some drainage tile underneath, this will allow the water to seep awy but the soil will stay behind.

Best of luck.
