Topic

We had four people that were supposed to fly to Europe for a week long business trip. Three of them got cut due to budgetary reasons, so the business manager is supposed to speak for engineering. That ought to be interesting.

No shortage of stuff on the shelves here.

The only way out of this mess is to elect govt. officials and business leaders that are decent, moral people. That probably won't happen any time soon. Not sure there are enough decent and moral people left to make a difference.

Even though my tractor has rear hydraulics I opted for a tow behind splitter. It's easier to mount and this way it can be towed to woods, parked, and free the tractor up to haul split wood from the splitter for dumping in a truck bed or at the woodpile for stacking. I bought a used Honda powered Speeco 25 ton tow behind splitter for less than you are being quoted for rear hydraulics.

Yeah, we're supposed to be eligible for unemployment for shutdown weeks, and there is a one week waiting period, but the first shutdown week is next week. Since Monday is a paid holiday I'll make too much for a waiting period week.

So next months shutdown will be a waiting period week, and after the waiting period week I would be eligible for unemployment for any additional lost work weeks, except...

I have my own S-corp consulting business and since I opted out of paying unemployment insurance for my employees (there are none except me) my eligibility will be in question. As an S-corp I have to pay FUTA every year but as an officer of the company (and only employee) I'm not eligible. Another government theft ring in action.

So nobody knows how to handle this situation.

I'm not a welder, so take this with a grain of salt, but I've seen plenty of circuit damage caused by high voltage arriving through grounds.

Hi Dennis, I emailed you with the 'email' tab on the top line menu. I'm using Firefox 3.0.x something. But...

did you change something in the last few hours?

Usually when one gains familiarity with a piece of equipment, and then at some point it seems to behave differently than before, then something has changed. If it seems flakey then it probably is.

The 4310 front differential is a simple bevel gear to ring gear setup with the front axles splined to the ring gear assembly. That's what the tech manual shows anyway.

Sounds sort of like a linkage problem. Have you checked the linkage from the shift lever all the way back to the transmission? Sometimes pins break or fall out.

Hey, that's a pretty neat idea. Thanks for posting.

Probably not so good on hard surfaces but for mud and snow that has to be the way to go.

Not sure what you mean by "air filter hose let go".<br>
<br>
Diesels are pretty simple, in theory anyway. All it should need is clean, fresh fuel delivered at the right time, air, compression and an adequate cranking speed. If you've got air, compression and a good cranking speed it's a fuel or fuel delivery problem. You might get a can of WD-40 and spray it in the intake while cranking. If it starts on WD-40 and won't continue running then it's definitely a fuel or fuel delivery problem.<br>

Does your manual have a troubleshooting flow chart for no-start conditions? This is what the tech manuals are for and they're pretty detailed - but expensive.<br>

Batteries are an environmental debacle in the making. Fuel cells require hydrocarbons or hydrogen. Hydrogen isn't an energy source, at least not in a way that we have easy access to here on earth.

KT, it wasn't my radiators so I'm keeping my nose out of it.

Brian, mud puddles? Yeesh. Next time they warp you might consider changing them out with an aftermarket slotted rotor that runs cooler.

I plow and have 4wd, but would have been stuck dozens of times without 4wd. There's a good reason 2wd machines sell for much less money.

To jump on the bandwagon, my 32hp JD with 5 ft medium duty cutter will chop right through thick patches of 6-8 foot high Scotch Broom entwined with blackberry. Scotch broom is tough stuff, woody with 2-3" trunks, and blackberry is a pretty tough vine.
