"...If you didn't buy the tractor here, then we didn't make any money off of you at the time of purchase, so we won't do any warranty work for people who bought tractors out of state. We don't need the business. We lose money on warranty work...."

Give a call to your NH factory Rep and re-tell this story. The dealer is not required to drop everything and work on your tractor right away, but they are a NH warranty station. Your warranty work should get done. The only way this "attitude" of price gouging and poor customer service is going to get broken, is to get the factory Reps involved. This story has been told more than once here.

I'm sorry for your problems, and hope that you can get it resolved soon. Oneace will soon join this discussion. He works for a NH dealer and has very good info.

I thought I'd make a brief post on my impressions on a first drive of a Jeep Liberty CRD.<br>
<br>
I drove a Limited level CRD. The trim and vehicle in general is the same as a gas version, so I won't waste time on that.<br>
<br>
The Motor started with a few seconds of wait with a small white puff. (45° outside) It idled smooth with some diesel rattle. More than my '01 TDI VW, but MUCH less than my '94 12v Cummins. After walking around the running vehicle and going over the exterior for about 5 minutes, the temp was fully up to operating levels, so I drove off.<br>
<br>
The 5-speed auto is smooth and shifts nicely with out too much business. Acceleration was brisk and definitely adequate for urban traffic needs. It won't win many races, but pulls strong and smooth. Noise levels inside again fall between my TDI and 12v Cummins. If you are looking for silence, look elsewhere. If you don't mind a little rattle, you'll be fine. With the radio at a normal listening level, the motor sound nearly disappears. I would describe the acceleration performance as similar to my TDI, so it is no slouch. It would definitely eat my '86 VW diesel or my old '85 6.2 Blazer's lunch without a problem. <br>
<br>
Overall I was pleased with the vehicle. Ride quality is okay, it is a short wheelbase SUV after all, and would be comfortable for most situations. I don't think I'd drive coast to coast with it, but a couple hours at a time would be alright. Ride is no different from the V-6 Libertys I've driven before.<br>
<br>
BTW the sticker said 22/27 for fuel economy, if memory serves. Clean up the intake and exhaust a bit and this will rise for sure. (Too many resonators and silencers for my taste.) <br>

I *think* the adjusters I mentioned will be a direct replacement for a B7510.

Modifications for a BX: If you look closely at the picture (#20, sorry its small) you will see the lower link arms have an "ear" which normally attaches to a "c" shaped clip on the OEM adjusters. The new adjusters look like a flattened tube, open on the end only. This opening must be extended down the side of the "tube" so that the ear on the lower link will enter it from the side.

My Pic 19 is of my new short top link, but also shows the OEM adjusters in the background, if this helps.

I'm not one to bring suit for nothing, but this looks like a lawsuit payday to me. Excellent story.

Price sounds pretty good, all things considered. I have never seen ANY trailer with a quality paint job, LOL. Even the most expensive trailers have cr*ppy paint.

Art: What about the ROPS? What is the legal requirement? (if you know.) I thought the there was a link to FEL use and needing an ROPS?

Okay, my sources have told me (tonight) that the seat rotator on the Woods unit also slides the seat to the rear in a similar fashion, so the seating position would be the same or at least similar, under the ROPS. He states that at 6-2, his only complaint is the need to wear a hard hat because of the "Cranial-ROPS impact zone" issue. It sounds as though I will be okay (being vertically challenged) but the 6' and over crowd may have a problem.

I guess you could cut out the section which is bad, repair the base and replace that section, but I don't think it will last. 40 years is a long time for a asphalt drive, its time to replace it.

It is possible to spend alot of money on exhaust systems, synthetic lubes, tires (and wheels) and all kinds of other things which may or may not give a couple of MGP's, at the most, increase. This same money could get you a small car to run as a commuter and get double or triple the MPG's and "save" the commuting miles on the truck at the same time.

"...I have the zigzag tires ..."

Those are "bar" tires. I wish I had gotten them instead of the turfs. Traction can be limited with the turfs in dirt or snow. They work well, but the bar tires would be better from what I've read.

"...disgruntled UAW guy angry with the world who built your engine..."

I would disagree with this. Not that angry digruntaled UAW guys don't do their share of screwing things up, but in this case it is a poorly designed piston with too short of a skirt. GM just won't suck it up, admit to the poor design and fix/change it.

Now I usually like short skirts, but in this case its a bad thing. :)

Truck and trailer are a stop gap measure only. They are both too light. 10K trailer and 3/4 ton would be MINIMUM for this equipment.

Woods makes an excellent BH for the BX tractors. The have some very nice features. THere are ups and downs to both. The subframe and mount on the Woods unit is just as strong as the OEM on the BX22/23. ROPS on the BX22/23 is bigger offering more room for the operator.

There is more than one choice.
