Actually, the axles on the 3rd generation Dodge Cummins pickups are made by American Axle. New Venture manufactured the gearboxes and transfer cases up until recently. The 2nd generation trucks utilized the Dana axles. The Dodge Dakota is a compact truck and not even remotely in the same class as the 3/4 and one ton trucks Dodge and Ford make. I don't think that would be a valid comparison. Both the 7.3 and 6.0 liter diesel engines are manufactured by International Harvester for Ford. Ford still offers the Cummins ISB engine and the Caterillar 3126B on its larger commercial trucks. I like both the Cummins ISB and the Cat 3126B but I think more aftermarket goodies are available for the Cummins. Actually both the none Ford versions of the 7.3 and 6.0 diesel engines manufactured by International are very good engines. Ford has modified and adapted these engines to its applications and I think that may be wherein the problem lies.

Regarding hydraulic post-hole diggers, I am planning on buying a compact tractor with FEL, and have to dig a lot of holes. I like the idea of using the FEL for down-pressure. Can I buy one that is made for skid-loaders, and adapt it to any FEL? Would the john deere 2210 or 2305 have the ability to add another hydraulic outlet to run the digger? Would there even be enough hydraulic flow (5gpm) with these units? Or should I look into bigger tractors, like the 2520 or 3000 series????? I have no idea how much these diggers cost, and how much it would be to add the extra hydraulic outlet.

I have a 2001 BX2200 and bought a woods xt148 brush hog today. It's used but was never used. I sized it up and it looked like it would easily fit my BX but it doesn't seem to fit very well. I tried a couple different top links. I just think the hitch arms don't come out far enough for it to fit properly.<br>
<br>
The BX is a cat1 but I am finding a lot of cat1 stuff takes some tinkering to get to fit. It looks like this will work, ( I actually had it on and running) but it doesn't lift very high at all before the driveshaft is without any flex. Looks like that will need to be cut down. Then I took the shaft off and it still doesn't go very high because it hits the sides of the arms.<br>
<br>
I think I'll be selling it. Looks like I made a mistake. I have several other cat 1 implements from a york rake to a king kutter finish mower and they all fit. Any suggestions?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Jim

It's very much like driving with a locker on a 4x4. Without an operating differential, it will throw you to the oustisde of a turn. That will certainly dig up your lawn. I noticed the same this afternoon while lifting and moving a log - trying to pivot the log, which was on my right, I actually noticed that I was pulling it to the left while I had the diff lock engaged.

Also, on many subcompacts, the axles are spinning at very differnet RPMs, so locking them together will make the front wheels spin faster, doing even more damage. Thi was common in some old japanese 4x4s, and caused significant axle wrap (the leaves of the suspension would warp into an S shape).

Don't use it on the lawn!

Sorry guys, I don't normally go online on Saturdays. Yes, I was watching TV in HD. But I also did some mowing tri work before the snow flies. I also moved the old tractor into it's winter storage spot and then bladed the driveway to smooth out some of the potholes. So I have some valid reasons. It felt good to be on the tractor again. I haven't been on it in like 4-5 weeks since the grass really hasn't grown and I've been sick.

Here's the scoup on my HDTV experience: The previous owner of my house had run 2 coax cables from the satellite dish location into the house. 1 routed to the basement family room and 1 to the upstairs living room. We won't go into the quality of the routing. We have consiously chosen to not have a tv in the living room. So that leaves the basement family room as the primary TV watching area. We do have a small unit in the kitchen for local news in the morning and an ancient (30 years?) unit in my woodshop.

So there is currently no value for us in running more than 1 satellite receiver as extras cost extra and liited usage wouldn't make it worthwhile. TV is a 65" projection Hitachi widescreen HD unit. I got that 2 years ago as an anniversary present (I still don't know how I pulled that one off). It's big, but awesome picture and we have the room for it. The couch is over 15 feet away from it. The TV lacked the iternal HD tuner as that jumped the price up a lot of money. We knew it was awesome with the DVD player.

I've been a customer of DirecTv for over 5 years. So I emailed and they called me back and gave me discount on the HD receiver (H10 unit). I inquired about the HDTivo receiver, but they still wanted $399 for that with the good customer discount - no deal.

Install was a snap. Used the existing Coax cable from the dish to the receiver as the input. My regular local channels previously came off a roof mounted antenae as I live 40 miles from the stations in the country. But the antennae is new enough that it had good VHF capability and worked fine for picking up the local HD TV broadcast signals with the new receiver. Connection to the TV was done using the 3 color cable connections to the TV back. I don't have the latest single cable connection (HDMI?) on the TV. So total receiver hardware install time was a matter of minutes.

The dish install went fine, but DirecTV sent an installer. He knew what he was doing as pointing the oval HD dish is definitely more tricky than the old oval system. Requires the angle and the dish itself is rotated on it's axis. So that took 10 minutes due to his experience.

So overall, I'd say it went simple and smooth. The local channels have a better picture now than with the old analog signal for the non-HD programing. The HD stuff is broadcast in 16:9 so it fills the whole screen which is really nice. The picture is awesome and DVD quality. I watched the Ghost Wisperer on friday night and I knew Jennifer Love Hewitt was hot. But in HD, damm!!

It's hard to describe, but now the TV is truely living up to it's full capability that I could only previously get by watching a DVD. Football is awesome to watch in HD. Auto racing is better. Such a clear picture. I also piped the sound through the stereo so sound is better. Gardening and nature programs broadcast in HD are awesome for their color, detail and intense images. Discovery HD is awesome for demonstrating it's capabilities.

With the setup I've got, I can run up to 4 seperate receivers, but only 2 wires are run now. I'd have to run more wires to run a 3rd or 4th box. That won't be for years as the kid is only 5 months old. So who knows what technology will be around then.

One thing to remember is the new HD tsuff is all digital. So the output is digital. So previously I had the kitchen tv setup so I could watch satellite in Channel 3 so I wouldn't miss anything in a race or to monitor what my sis-in-law was watching. That's no longer an option unless I route a differet wiring and buy a new TV.

One word of additional warning. Football in HD is awesome for the detail and color. But when they zoom in on a umbo sized lineman, the detail is there. It's not pretty. Really not pretty...

I have a Kabota B2400 w/woods 6500 backhoe. On the boom piston I have to replace the rubber bumper (now a plastic sleeve) on each end. Please guide me through changing these. There is one bolt 1"1/8 on each end under the support legs of the backhoe? I have already lowered the support legs, disconnected the pistons in order to gain access to those bolts.<br>
Thanks in advance<br>

They did give us the David Browns for a couple of years right after the merger as they had to close some of the IH plants. The model numbers were nearly the same just red and black tractors.

Not totally familiar with the hitch on that model but often there is a way to lock the deck in the up position so you can still use the three point hitch with the deck on.
