Hey, I'm bat friendly. I just wish they'd move into the house I built for them five years ago. It was built with advice from the bat folks (color, height, direction, isolation from surrounding trees). I even bought a half pint of guano to spread around their house to attract them but they'd rather live in the attic.

Nortracs are sold by Northern Tool so you might ask them if they could supply a manual.

Is the problem that the needle is a bit loose on the shaft and not only rotates out of position but it can actually rock a bit allowing it to move up and over the "at rest" pin? Maybe roughening up the shaft a bit and a dab of epoxy would hold it in place?

If the fuel in the tank is bad then so is the fuel in the carb. It may have turned into a crystallized, carmelized mess and it wouldn't be surprising if it needed to be taken apart and cleaned out.

I thought what they did with the song is amazing, but it didn't sound like the best rendition I've ever heard.

So, Graderman, do you have any financial interest in the sale of Dura-Grader products? It's hard to tell for sure but your posts sound like you're pushing the product. Hmmm.

Time for some frank talk with the dealer. If they can't fix it then ask them to get the JD corporate rep involved. And when they take it in the shop tell them they should give you a loaner to use until it is fixed. A calm, reasonable and insistent approach will be far more apt to get you a solution than anger. Those guys are human and will react in kind.

What is the light supposed to indicate according to the manual? Low fluid, low pressure, high temperature, ????

Well, you can't go wrong with Kubota. Good products, big dealer network, comparatively high resale value and a long history of quality.

Agreed, Murf, but posting to old threads does seem to bother some folks. I say post away and the more the merrier.

Interlocking garage tiles might be a solution. Here's a link to one brand but if you google on "interlocking garage tiles" there are a bunch of different types available.

If that fuse didn't blow with the old battery I'd start with the basics. Follow the negative cable to the chassis ground, unscrew it there and shine it up good with a file or sandpaper before reattaching. Make sure it's clean. Look for any other ground cable that might be between the chassis and engine and do the same to it. Dirty or corroded connections will greatly increase the circuit resistance can cause blown fuses. Make sure the cables are good, i.e. no corrosion inside the insulation at the battery end and good, solid connections at the terminals.

Don't know if that's a good price or not, but it reminds me of my life as a slot car racer as a kid. I used to wind, epoxy, time and balance my own armatures. Those were the days :)

They all have their place. What are your primary uses for the tractor? Who else will drive it?

Generally speaking I like hst, but you do give up a couple of hp for the convenience. Hydros are good for loader work (eacy forward/back), the gear types are a bit better suited for ground engaging work.

I can't comment about the quality of kioti's various offerings though.

[QUOTE=Murf;162228] Ken, there's a rather devious way to keep your stuff protected if you think you just have one or two locals snooping around for easy to pick up stuff.I did this a few years back, it works well.Get a plastic jerry can and go to the local airport and have it filled with 100LL aviation fuel. Then leave it out near a shed or garage so a thief will think you've just left it out by mistake, the mistake will be [b]theirs![/b]100LL is coloured blue so anybody stealing it thinks they've got 2 stroke mix.Avgas burns [b]very[/b] hot compared to regular gas, and since it has no lubricating oil even though it looks like it does, it burn out a 2 stroke motor in [u]very[/u] short order.After losing a motor or two they will quickly stop looking around your place for anything else. If you know anybody at the local small engine shop, you can ask about burned out motors right after the fuel disappears. LOLBest of luck. [/QUOTE]
