They can some times be a real PIA. Try lubing the splines with some grease or spray lube.

I don't think there's a tech manual for loader, just operator's manuals.

The tractor will start in gear (also with the pto engaged). I was reading that owners manual and it states that there is a switch that is supposed to keep that from happening. All of the other safety features work properly - the manual has a writeup on how to test everything.<br>

Am I missing an override, or should I look for a problem?

I'm finding that out the hard way. :)

It might be cheaper to cut down the 6' than to buy a 5'.

I have a Jinma 180 model 2 wheel drive. The PTO has quit working. I can turn the shaft by hand and the lever engages and dis-engages find with no binding or anything. I have been told to check the 540/1000 RPM lever but this tractor doesn't have one (or it's so hidden I can't find it). Everything else works fine on the tractor. I was cuting one day and the PTO just quit turning. It's not the mower because I've used it 3 times since on my Ford tractor with no problems. I have wedged a board against the shaft with the tractor runnign and PTO engaged and it still doesn't turn. I do notice a slight squealing noise when I push in the clutch that goes away when I let the clutch out. This started about the same time the PTO quit working. This is a 10 year old tractor and has been a very good machine the time I've had it and I'd like to get it back mowing again.

Murf:

What is involved in setting up the FEL to have a snowblade like the one in your picture? Is it then easy to switch between the FEL bucket, the snowblade, the forks/C class hitch, etc? Do you know if something similar could be done on a Kubota LA402 or LA403 FEL?

I have a stop at the JD and NH dealers today, then I will make my final decision. I guess I am a bit skeptical about Cub Cadet tractors. The 6284 looks like an overgrown lawn mower, but when I looked more closely, it seems to be have heavy duty axles. And it does have nice features.

OK Dennis, I am back. TP addiction has the best of me. Don't change any algorithms, I promise to ignore the top ten list from now on :)

The concept car has the Viper 6-speed. So it should handle any Hemi they put in it.

The variable displacement engine seems to be a hit in the Chrysler 300. With gas prices the way they are and will be, the Challenger is still under development...I can't imagine they won't put a variable displacement engine in it.

With the price point Dodge is trying to reach with this car (competing with the Mustang) I wouldn't be surprised to see some changes from the concept car. Hopefully some of the more intersting bits, like the 6-speed, will at least be availabe as options.

You gotta make sure the drum is vented--my buddies left me three, 30 gallon drums with gas and diesel in them. They sat in the hot sun fully closed and they looked like Weebles ready to fall over the ends ballooned out.

30 gallons is really a drop in the bucket...errr...drum. Also, your local DOT may stop you if you are transporting it on the roadways since it is not certified as a fuel storage vessel. To get around being stopped or rather comply with the law, I found a new, 60-gal, take-off, school bus fuel tank complete with brazed-on USDOT- compliant certification label, and drain hole bungs. All I did was put a bung in it for the pump and install a hand-operated push-pull pump with a cartridge filter with a 6' hose ($100 for the tank and $120 for filter, fittings, pump and hose from TSC) It's all handily mounted on the front of my bobcat trailer, but can be removed with forks from under or a lifting lug on top (oh yeah, forgot to mention I made a raised platform with a basket handle lifting lug).

Also, in some localities at least where I'm from, it is illegal to have an elevated tank for fuel (the story goes too many were abandoned on farms in the area and/or toppled over for whatever reason). The Fire Marshall will cite you if he finds an elevated take in your possession. Even ground-level tanks must have an integrated reservoir around it equal to its volume. And a fire arresting enclosure atop the tank covering the reservoir.

What states will do to make the pump price look good. Does it not make sense to just place the tax on the gas? The heavier the vehicle the more wear on the road and the more fuel used? Greater miles equal more money?
I had a lot of discussion concerning the fuel prices in Canada when I first moved to MA. If you calculated the tolls, vehicle tax and price of gas in MA the cost was actually less in Ontario.

The alarm also works to shut up the neighbor's cats when they start fighting below your window at 1 am.

My kid loves to play with my keys and loves buttons. She's triggered the alarm several times now. But since I live the country, it only annoys me. Have the alarm going off or listen to the kid scream when I take the keys away to shut off the alarm...lose either way.

I agree the tires are not the best and overinflating them hurts the traction, but the issue is more systemic. The tractor is too light in the rear end, and when you do get traction (e.g., by adding a rear weight rack, tire chains for snow plowing, etc.) you find out quickly that the lugs and wheels are not robust enough to handle it (I have had to replace my driver's side right rear wheel).

It is a nice lawn mower for relatively flat, smooth lawns, but I would not recommend it for anyone with more than 2 acres, hilly lawn, rougher areas to mow, snow removal or a desire to use the trailer.

Here's another trick we discovered, if you don't see a clean spot, or spot a leak as Art mentioned, then clean the hose off, and get it wet with a fine mist of water from a hand spray bottle. A leak will inhale the water around it and leave a bare spot in the water, or at least make a visible depression in the surface tension of the water on the hose.<br>
<br>
Best of luck.
