Sounds like you are on to it. You should especially have no leaks along the hydro filter lines. Good luck.

What difference would it make if it got pulverized. You still have the weight. I have seen weights made out of steel plates 3'X 3' X 1" thick. Steel is 42lbs for 12" X 12" X 1" thick. How much weight would you need and what shape would do the best job.

Two things: Back home SW of Detroit there are several unscrupulous car dealers. The joke amongst the locals is these dealers are the only ones who advertise heavily on radio and TV---because they have to---they rarely have repeat business. They hook you with a so-called good deal and you get screwed (I was one in my younger days).

Same thing is happening with the State of Michigan advertising (not that they're screwing people necessarily). No company in their right mind with the exception of those willing to take advantage of the largely automotive brain pool or tax reduction benefits, will move there. It's not the end of the World, but daaang, we sure can see it from there.

Just yesterday I heard on national news that Ford was laying off 25,000 by the end of the year. For every Michigan autoworker job lost, 5 ancilliary jobs are lost too. And GM is in the process of reorg with possibly Nissan and/or another company. Inevitably many more jobs will be lost soon over that.

"superb handling" is a catchfrase for a commercial. Let's talk actual numbers.

The concept weighs in at 4120lb with carbonfiber body - will be more when it's sheet metal and additional "family friendly" features are added on.

The new Challenger gives a 0.8g on the skidpad (as I remember from the Motor trend article). What kinda cornering is that for a performance car?

gas mileage is estimated at 14 city, 20 highway, very good compared with the original Challenger (1970) and roughly the same as today�s smallest, most underpowered Hummer.

All for an expected $35K. Add another $5K and you can have a real sports car, say a Corvette?

Actually the first foot petal drive hydro's were tredle petals as they are refered to. As with most things the overall majority by far of all hydro's are operated with tredle pedals! After all some companies even tried to sneak in that hand clutches are the thing to have with farm tractors! It's amazing what time tells us! They do make good collectors items as they are far to unsafe for a working farm to still use them do the safety issues of not only the hand clutch but all the open flywheels spinning. Any way you look at the less parts to replace or adjust the better!

Quite a few years ago I had a couple truckloads of soybeans stolen from a bin on a farm where nobody lived. I did'nt check the bin real often so I had no idea when they were taken. Without a broken lock (there was no lock), strange tire tracks, etc. as evidence the insurance company I had at that time termed it "Mysterious Dissapearance" which of course was not covered. I'm sure lots of insurance claims have been paid for things that weren't stolen or destroyed by fire so they have to be on their guard. Since then we do try to keep better records with pictures, etc. and just keep a closer watch on things. Frank.

I'd go with the Quick attach as cutting the bucket on both sides is labor intensive. That way you could go to another make company and find more economical priced attachments with comparable or better quality of build.

lbrown,

Check for leaks. Be sure the intake for air is clear and no insects have made it a home. No doubt you have checked the oil level for the compressor.

If it is running slow rpms and you don't have any belt slippage, I believe you will find it the compressor as electric motors don't normally just loss rpms. But then you did not say if it was an gas or electric driven or I missed it. My guess is it probably is not turning slow, rather the rings in the compressor is worn reducing the compression.

quote: I just tried to put the PTO in gear with the engine running and foot off clutch. It didn't grind when I tried this. Is this something broke inside the housing possible or clutch needing adjustment/replacement? end quote; Yes, it could be something broken inside.... still assuming you have a two stage clutch the main clutch is releasing or you would not be able to get the transmission into gear. Either the PTO input shaft is not turning or some part of the linkage is broken inside that engages the pto.

The noise when you press the clutch pedal maybe clutch related ... if so the tractor will have to be split, not a real big shop be there is some do's and don'ts.

Something broken in linkage would require to remove the lift box under the seat ..... if you can do a head gasket you can do this........... pretty easy job.

Sounds like it has been a good tractor ..... should be a good tractor for another 10 years and still less than 10K

If you are handy, you can make your own. Walk up and down your local railroad track and pick up loose spikes- you'll need about 4 dozen. Get pipe about 2 1/2" diameter O.D. and cut to length desired to make the harrows width. Cut the number of pipes to determine how many rows you want. With drill press drill a series of equally spaced holes like a foot apart that are a slight press fit with the rr spikes. Stagger them so rows 1, 2, 3 etc. all cut a different path. The rows should be about 1 to 11/2 ft. apart. Weld side straps to hold it together in a box. Tilt the holes (teeth) about 15 degrees from vertical so the tip of the spikes point rearward. Weld a length of chain to the front pipe section. If its weight isn't enough to get all the penetration you want, put a board on top and lay sinder blocks on it for weight.<br>
<br>
Pull it with a clevis thru the chain attached to your drawbar. Raising the 3point hitch to the desired height will adjust how hard the first row of spikes hits. If you put a cross bolt through the chain just behind the clevis to pinch it together it will stay centered.

I am sure there are some of you out there that can tell me where the pto switch is located on the 4200. I had to jumper the seat switch out to keep it running when off the seat even with the pto disengaged.

It is about time DC offered a factor installed exhaust brake! I just installed a Cummins (Jacobs) exhaust brake last week on my 2002 Ram HO and LOVE it!

One thing that concerns me about the new Cummins engines is that they are the emisions compliant common rail diesels CRD and I have been reading that althought the power and torque output has been tremendously increased over the 2002 and earlier engines; the fuel mileage has dropped an uncomfortable amount.

I just turned over 40,000 miles on my Dodge and am still in love with it. I would think since Dodge is only contributing the sheetmetal and cab to this new truck and the rest is Freightliner and Cummins; it will hopefully be a much less troublesome and reliable truck.

I sure hope they have fixed and correctly engineered the fuel lift/transfer problem. (read did NOT use and in tank fuel pump) I finally bit the bullet and installed the Vulcan "Big Line Kit" with the new redesigned Cummins fuel lift pump on mine recently as cheap insurance since my lift pump pressure was gradually deteriorating and flow volume dropping.

Kenneth, I *like* no snow too, our contracts are a standby fee, plus an amount per hour when there is work to do. In fact a lot of the winter work is not even dependant on a snowfall. After a good wind, or a freeze / thaw / freeze cycle we have to go out to clear and sand / salt the sidewlks too.

GMiller, there is very little involved in doing it. You need a way to mount it, in my case a multi-purpose utility frame. They *can* be mounted inside the bucket, but it adds a lot more weight to the front of the machine, you want the weight at the back. The only other thing you need is a pair of hydraulic lines to give you power angling on the blade. If you do not have hydraulic remotes you can make up a rigid bar to lock the bucket curl cylinders in place, and then install quick-disconnet fittings by putting T-fittings inline with that circuit.

The smaller machine and loader would be no problem at all, you would just need to scale down the blade that's all. I'm sure a 6' light duty blade from a small 4x4 like a Jeep TJ would work just fine.

Best of luck.

For those people that offered advice thanks.
The tractor is back from the workshop and has no problems with drive now.
They found a damaged impellor in the transmission oil pump and once this was replaced all is fine.

Thanks again
