"Do you remember the good old days when you rotated tires from side to side and front to rear and got good wear with all."

I remember... if 30K miles can be considered "good wear." :)

I for one wish there was MAN with true guts that would be willing to stand up and say...LIAR and point his finger at the lies that such as Mrs. Clinton and her friends keep saying. I for one wish that man was Mr. Bush. He is the only one the media could not ignore. It does not need to be Mrs. Bush or Ms. Rice.

Two years ago a Democrat Senator from Georgia did just that and told he was voting for Bush. Today Senator Lieberman is saying about the same things. All Dems are not like Mrs. Clinton or her type, but they have lost control of the Democrat party. Sad.

It would be fun to see Ms. Rice head to head with Mrs. Clinton. Would make you think of Alito and Kennedy.

I live just up from Charleston SC. Yes there was some National Guard here after Hugo, as guards only. Wonder if anyone will point out to the likes of Mrs. Clinton there were blacks that also ownned slaves. Not many but were they any better than the whites that did? How about the white slaves also? I think they were called servants but look at those who came over as servants into NEW ENGLAND that way. Their life sure was not free until their debt was paid.

As to the attacks against the slave owners over and over by the lacks of the Demoncrats from up North, please don't forget to attack the Northern boat owners who went to Africa and bought the slaves to begin with and under their hands so many died during the trip. How come they are forgiven and forgotten? Sort of like the war on drugs. Bust the user cause you can find him. The big dollar importers get away with it to often.

Sure could be fun to see Mrs. Clintons family tree. Wonder if they were in the shipping industry?

Leave these heaters plugged in all the time in a big fire hazard in my opinion, as well as wasted electricity as already mentioned. I plug mine in about an hour or two before I plan to use the tractor or truck. Just enought to warm it up enough to keep the heater grids from cycling on the Cummins and helps speed up the warm up on the 4410 emmensely.

I'd guess something in the BX series would work fine. If you need to dig rocks and stumps a backhoe, like the BX23/24 have, would be nice. A rotary cutter for clearing brush too.

Just curious....
Has your computer cache been cleared lately? Having it loaded will bog your PC pretty quick. I am stuck with 28k (usually giving me a modest 21-22K) only for geographical reasons, as they say "can't get there from here"...definitely applies. So long as my cache stays reasonably clean/clear, she zips right along

Depending on which engine is in your B1750, your clearance values may differ a bit.
D850-5B.........0.145 to 0.185mm / 0.0057 to 0.0073 inches
D950-5B.........0.145 to 0.185mm / 0.0057 to 0.0073 inches
V1200-5B (4cyl).0.145 to 0.185mm / 0.0057 to 0.0073 inches

Unless someone has changed the engine, you should have the D950-5B 3cyl.
These are the factory specs for the respective engines used.

As far as the position of intake vs. exhaust, with your gear case on your left, and flywheel on your right, sequence is as follows from left to right:
3in,3ex,2in,2ex,1in,1ex

Hope this helps you out -

Here in mid-Michigan is a little German tourist town called Frankenmuth that has an annual snow and ice fest starting Jan. 25th and goes for a week. They have world class snow and ice carvers. They don't have any snow to speak of and have ice shipped in from Alaska. A neighboring town has a Shiver on the River fest for ice fishing but no ice. Up North at Houghton Lake is Tip-up Town. I here they have 8" of ice. Don't know where that came from.

Wow! The intelligent feedback based on real-world knowledge is why this is such a great site. Ask and ye shall receive (without being trashed or made to feel like a moron).<br>
<br>
There's a lot to respond on. Thanks for your responses to my posting on compaction.<br>
<br>
What I did not put in the original posting was the dirt type. There is little clay where I am at; it's mostly sand based. The fill that I took delivery of came from a house's basement excavation being built about a half mile from my place.<br>
<br>
The dirt's compaction was an issue with me with so much dirt. I was concerned about the lower levels not getting compacted under a lot of dirt. That was the concern about getting so much at once; that thought is "in there" with my original post, but not there explicitly. I really wanted to get some dirt in, get it spread, and get it compacted some before receiving the next load(s).<br>
<br>
The tractor runs great and does nearly everything that I want it to do. I just do it a lot slower than one would with a larger tractor. That was very evident yesterday evening when trying to clear-out the ditch. The driver (whom I have not met) was worried about driving across the blacktop driveway to unload. So, he dropped part of the first load in the ditch alongside the driveway's culvert. Clearing out that compacted dirt was a challenge and it is still not completed, but at least the ditch is not blocked now. <br>
<br>
There's just not a lot of "oomphta" in the loader, but knew that when buying the tractor early last year knowing that I did not need or require a larger unit. But, with what I am trying to do, nothing really would handle this task in a short time unless it was of a pretty good sized unit. I was thinking when running back and forth from the ditch and where I was dumping about the dealer telling me if I "needed" a demonstrator skid steer, to let them know. I may take them up on it. The driver started about a third of the way down the marked area for being filled ending the 15 loads with about 4 loads outside where I need it.<br>
<br>
The bit of dirt to relocate may be to my advantage when considering compaction. I guess that I could get the main area's dirt spread and somewhat compacted. Then, relocate the misplaced dirt and compact it. Maybe it was not such a mistake after all.<br>
<br>
The shape needs to conform to the slope that I have instead of being domed. It will approach level, but have a bit of grade to get the water off. We don't get much rain or moisture, but there are some good rains at times. Getting some "terrestrial hair" on it was not thought of, but needed. I live on the side of a hill with 19 foot of drop from the back right corner to the front right. The fill is "down slope" from the driveway to build it up (for extending the driveway and to build the stand-alone garage later).<br>
<br>
Thanks to all (Dave, Beagle, Murf, Harvey, Chief, and SG8NUC) for your concerns and insight into this project sharing your expertise. Your comments have been appreciated.

The shop manual i have does not have the proceedure for replacing the PTO Clutch. I was specifically interested setting the distance between the clutch plate and the housing. If anyone could help me with this I would be very grateful.

I'm concerned about the JD'S design of having the front wheels ridgid instead of mounted on an oscilating front beam. Will that affect the ride and cut of the deck? Are the gas engines as reliable as a diesel?

Directional signals may need new flasher. Mine was under the hood. Don't believe the fuse in the light switch was wired to anything on mine. I assumed it was for aux lighting or something.

Grab hold of the fan blade (while the engines is OFF) and see if there is any movement front to back. There should only be the flex of the fan and nothing else. If the is even the slightest I would replace it. Other wise you could be buying a new rad too.

You have a bad starter. The clunk is the solenoid engaging but the contacts (brushes)in the could be going bad and have to be n the sweet spot. Could also be the armature. Best way t tell will be to pull it off and do a bench test. If you have an auto electric shop near you they can rebuild it a lot cheaper than you can get one from the dealer. Usually around $100 to $150. I think that starter from the dealer will run around $250.
