I have a 3054 that I've been bushhogging with and it was working fine.. I stopped and took a break, got back on and no PTO. The lever moves into position in both high and low ranges but it does nothing.... no noise... nada... the linkage is in proper working order which leads me to think i broke something more expensive ... service manual that i have fore it was translated rather poorly. Also noticed what sounded like a bad wheel bearing(well, what a bad wheel bearing sounds like on a car) on the right rear as the tractor was moving.. any thoughts?

The last rumor I read was about engine/transmission options and pricing.

The DC rep was quoted as saying that two engines would be available, similar to the 2006 Charger. 5.7 Hemi and 6.1 SRT Hemi. I assume the 5.7 would be the same or similar to the 350 HP engine in the Charger R/T. Transmission choice is going to be either the 5-speed manual or 5-speed automatic. I read that to mean one or the other, not both available.

On price, the rep was quoted as saying right in line with the current Charger. Which means low $30,000 range for the 5.7; low-to-mid $40,000 for the SRT 6.1.

This effectively rules out the bigger engine for me. Although I wouldn't rule out the 5.7 version.

Hopefully DC will firm this up a bit in the weeks to come.

I believe that knowing the right thing isn't hard; but doing the right thing can be.

Talking to friends (even internet friends) is a good way to cope.

We just had our first baby this year. I hope I'm never in a spot that I have to struggle with either taking care of him or taking care of my wife. The bond with a child is strong, but then, a good woman is hard to find, too. So I do my best for both, that is all I have.

Sometimes you have to realize that a perfect solution doesn't exist; you have to make do with the solution that is obtainable. Trust in yourself to make good decisions. (And don't forget to take care of yourself).

Good luck,
Bill

There used to be a Grasshopper dealer around here too; are they another manufacturer or part of another company?

Thanks for all of the advice. The ground is not rocky or extraordinarily rough; what I'm looking for is something faster than the Allis lawn mower we've been using, but more maneuverable and better cut than the Massey with Bush Hog. I hope to save time not so much with more speed (I'm mowing in high range, 1st and 2nd gear) but with similar speed and more efficiency.

The little Allis has been a great lawn mower, it is just slower than molasses in February.

I'll look at all the options and I have a long time before purchase. Never thought about a FMM, I'll look at those too.

Thanks,
Bill

Hi Art Before it died and started losing power, the crankcase filled with what appeared to be diesel fuel. It smelled like diesel fuel and my hyd oil was still there so I am pretty sure thats what it was. A local mechanic told me either the injection pump or the fuel pump was leaking into the crankcase. Not wanting to spend the $500 for the injection pump, I went for the $35 fuel pump. I drained all the oil and put in new oil thinking it ought to at least start again so I can see if I have the same problem, but so far I haven't been able to get it started. Know anybody that rebuilds these injection pumps or has rebuilt ones? I took it out and it looked fine. Another mechanic told me these pumps rarely go bad, and I've not been able to find anyone who has a rebuilt one or rebuilds them. Thanks!

I paid somehwere around $475 for a King Cutter 72" three years ago. I have put it through you-know-what. The cutting edges are still sharp and in very good condition. Never bent a scarifier. I would strongly suggest getinga hydraulic top link which will make the box blade act like nothing you've used. Also, consider welding a short piece of 2" sq. receiver hitch tube to the back side of the blade box. Then you can install a trailer hitch ball or anything using a 2" tube--such as a vice on a pedestal/upright, etc. A trailer hitch ball on the rear is great as an attachment point for a chain when dragging a length of chain-link fence around to final-groom it.

I sold the unit to a friend who cut his own blades on a

A while back there was a long discussion on transfer switches and how to do it safely and such.

Our local coop just printed the way they suggest and found it very simple, pleased use sufficient size extension cords and plug your applicances directly into the generator. no transfer switch or any other connection to the house.

God Bless,

I ended up having to take the canopy off anyway when I bought a used speeco log splitter. Towing that sucker 200 miles on a 70 mph highway at 40 mph just didn't sound like any fun. Then I discovered how much better the truck drove without it - mileage went up and visibility was improved so I may not put it back on. And the compressor deal fell through so I'm still keeping my eye open for another bargain.

Insurance paying for it??? errrr?? No way Jose, it's your TAX dollars paying for the cleanup and the up-to $150,000 individual block grants some are getting. Plus their $2000 each FEMA evacuation money, plus up to $26,000 each FEMA grants right after the storm for households who lost everything---plus whatever insurance pays out. And no my machine isn't paid off; I made one payment before I came down here and 4 years to go. And let's not forget the $70,000 each FEMA pays for each camper trailer to buy, maintain, set them up. PLUS they pay property owners $400 month each for lot rental to put someone else's trailer on their lot.

I was speaking with a client today, I recalled him saying in the past that they had a ant problem because of a neighbour who had a lot of scrap wood and bark stacked up.

Although it would be tough on vegetation, his cure was to thoroughly saturate a strip of ground along the fence line with a strong CaCl mixture, like what is used on dirt roads for dust control.

He didn't do it originally as a pesticide, he wanted to stop the vegetation from growing along the fence, but soon discovered the ants wouldn't cross it either.

Sort of a scorched earth type of deal.

Best of luck.

Ken,

Hoses premade sure do cost less than same hose made at local shops. Of course there are more options with those made in the local shops as they can install an end not normally used and odd lengths. Might save a fitting for you.

You may find the metal you want for the floor at a heating and air conditioning shop. A guage with gal. coating should work fine.

Oneance,

A hose one inch short is a real heart break and can be costly. As you pointed out, those turns and curves add up.
