I have an entire working mower for $250.00 plus shipping. I could remove the bar and strap it to a large pallet for truck shipment. It is the model with single, swivel rear tire. I don't know the model number but sounds like the same thing. It originally mounted to an IHC model A.

Frank:

I've been wanting to get one of those myself. The rear end drive and steering mechanisms seem sturdy by visual observation. To reap the benefits you need to get the larger of the two deck sizes offered if you're planning to mow around objects.

Zero turns can rut up your yard where the rear steer will more softly drive over the lawn. You can use it for more projects than a zero turn and it handles uneven terrain better in my opinion.

Cub cadet has a mower than turns very sharp at the front tires kinda like a NH option. I think these also rut up the yard if operated too fast.

I want one but am cheap and can't seem to get anything green, except a hat.

I spoke with my Geeksquad gal from Best Buy and found out I can place them in a variety of positions without blowing things up. Turned out that the 1GB memory had to be in sockets 1 & 3 with the 512's in 2 & 4 to recognize the 3GB memory through trial and error.

I agree that 30 ft. lbs. seems aweful low. I don't know what size bolts they are. I know the bolts are metric but would normally think that if they are equivalent to 1/2-13 or 5/8-11 that tightening torques would be like 100-140 ft. lbs respectively.

I'd definitely contact Cadet or an authorized Cadet dealer that does maintenance for them to verify. As Randy has indicated sequence of tightening is imperative. You also go progressive, working your way thru the pattern getting up to the desired tightening torque. Most manuals will also tell you to recheck it after the engine has been run just long enough to warm up.

It is my understanding that every aluminum intake manifold gasket on a GM 3.1 and 3.4 engine went bad between 70,000 and 111,000 miles. Many of the 3.8's did it as well.

I had mine done on my Grand Am GT 3.4 at about 95,000 miles. It was done by a shade tree mechanic for about $600.00 which was cheaper than Mr. Goodwrench. I understand he used different gaskets which hold up longer. Mr. Goodwrench uses the factory ones which go bad again in about the same or shorter interval of mileage.

Thanks Ken, didn't know that a suit was pending. Don't have a receipt to make any claims!

Yes, the proper term of the plotter is an inkjet printer. Mine inkjet printer plots from either 24" or 36" roll sheets. The term plotter which was used in the past is still frequently used to describe a wide format printing device used primarily to plot engineering drawings.

There is nothing wrong with the unit but no longer being software supported since this is a through away society were nothing should last nor be used beyond a couple of years.

I'm currently in the process of striping a homemade loader off of a Farmall "C". I'm selling the tractor to someone that doesn't want the loader. It is going to the scrap yard minus the cylinders.

I may also have a larger diameter short stroke cylinder laying around. I sold the farm and am cleaning up 150 years worth of stuff that has accumulated.

If you are interested, I'l give specifics. Stuff will be cheap!

We've had serious problems with break-ins in our area. Also many local dealers have had tractors, snowmobiles and RTVs stolen. I'm making a gadget for myself that doesn't require 120V. It is a 12V battery system with some switches and a truck horn. Once tripped, it has a timer to pre-set how long before it goes off. I plan on making a few of these with different tripping mechanisms for doors, tractors, etc. for my own stuff.

It uses a common battery for trailer brake releases and can be trickle charged with a solar cell.

I'm encasing it inside rectangular tubing, so it is hammer proof. The noise it emits is so loud you need really good earplugs inside earmuffs, so it is important to shut it off before the alarm goes off.

My stuff is all in the country with neighbors close enough that if the alarm goes off, 911 will be called by someone.

It will not be 100% foolproof but will give some of my neighbors a chance to get some target practice in!!

Ford purchased Volvo and is using their platform for the new Ford models like the Fusion and their new lineup. This gives them an edge for added quietness and crash tests at much less cost.

Ken:
You may also want to look at the new '09 Caddy CTS. If you look at fox.com and happen to catch their alternating ad from Car & Driver, where it won the car of the year award. Have heard they've made awesome changes. As an option it comes in AWD.

Just remember that the gal that was recently killed hiking in Georgia by Mr. Hilton had a large dog and some martial arts belt. The news said a "Blue Belt". I'm not into that stuff so don't know if that is correct nor what level of skill it took. The news also indicated that she was alive for several days before she was killed.

C-span addressed the issue last night in a program and it sounds like a mess. As of February 17, 2009 no analog broadcasts will be done. The government has sold these frequencies for other uses after this date. I have 5 old style TV's. It is my understanding that even with cable, we will need a converter box. For those less fortunate, the government will distribute coupons to the needy for a discounted price for the box. The coupon is only good for 3 months to get the purchase. No body is selling the box yet. The manufacturers and retailers are looking forward into cashing in on this deal. Atleast 15 millon people need to get a box or purchase a new TV.<br>
<br>
Our local cable company wants to sell us an up-graded service and include the box for $6.00 per month. I can't imagine how much the box will cost for signal conversion when purchasing it. The cable company wants to rent me the box now and give me a digital image. Wonder where they are getting the box now since none are available on the retail market. Figure its smoke and mirrors.<br>
<br>
I don't need a digital picture. We have a limited cable agreement and only get 78 channels. 20 minutes of every hour are ads, we get many unwanted channels and lots of sports which I'm not into. I don't need a clearer picture. Likewise, commercials don't need to be clearer. Beyond the stuff previously mentioned, the rest is reruns anyway.<br>
<br>
I could rent a video every evening and limit my viewing to 1 1/2 hours and be further ahead. For news, etc. I can go to the internet. Unfortunately, I don't think there will be any deals as Murf as hoped for, until after the deadline is over for a while.

I seem to remember seeing something as has been described. If you read the data, it mentions that you also need another auto!

I always carry my jumpstart battery which costs about $45.00. It also has a mini air compressor, cigarette style connection and a light.

I've jumped dozens of vehicles with it over the years from lawntractors to trucks, pumped up a number of lawntractor front tires (takes a while), have used the light numerous times and have used the outlet to power one of those coolers with a frig element and also have used it on one of those powered scissors jacks and many more apps.

Give me a couple of days to work on it with a variation in design. I want to review their U.S. Patent 6363633. I don't want to infringe on it. If their patent is very specific about the shape I may be able to easily get around it.

Do you already have a specific hole spacing in your bucket for mounting? If so, can you tell me the size and spacing!

I thought I needed some sort of clever name to avoid identity theft which is common if you give too much info on line. My business websites which I have an industrial and commercial business get about 800-1000 spams a day. We also field about a dozen or more telephone solicitors a day. The information highway allows them to get all sorts of information. Through D & B most can get more info about me than I want to give.<br>
<br>
Yes, the business is in Saginaw and I live in a neighboring tourist town (bet you can figure that one out too). Saginaw has been known as an automotive industrial manufacturing town and for its rich farmland in rural areas. Now we are known for its crime rate and are famous for the number of drive by shootings. They only shot one last night if you check out the local news. I also own Northern Michigan property but none in the U.P. Some of my best friends have retired to Munising (in da U.P.) and I visit them often. To me, the world is much different as you cross the bridge, more like it should be.<br>
<br>
By the way my name is not Pete either. Pete is a fictitious name that I come up with for solicitors that call my business looking for the person in charge of the phone, person in charge of the insurance program, purchasing agent, human resources director and so on. It has turned into quite a joke in the office.<br>
<br>
Solicitors call in asking for Pete; this has blossomed since his name has been "sold" over and over again. Pete gets mail, free pens with company logo and his name printed on them and all sorts of stuff. People come to the front door saying they called last week and spoke with him and have an appointment.<br>
<br>
Didn't mean to lie to anyone or confuse them. But from my pics on this site, etc. and information publicly available, someone could search for my property addresses and steal my tractors or a whole bunch of stuff I've accumlated over the years through hard work from my efforts and thanks to generations before me being able to pass some on. I'm not paranoid but cautious.<br>

P.S. I've thought about building a product as you've described but my liability insurance carrier would drop me in a heartbeat. I'm having enough trouble with that right now as it is. They only want my premiums without risk of ever having a claim. Haven't had a claim but they are still nervous.

Something doesn't look nor sound right. Cattails only grow in really wet environments like swamps and bottoms of ditches. The standing water in your ditch/trench makes me think you have either no drop (trench deeper as it nears the main drainage ditch or river) or your property is marshland.

You have marshland or swampland if you go nearly anywhere and dig a hole with a shovel about 12"-18" deep and leave it for about an hour or less and it begins to fill with water. Generally the soil is a type of sand but black in color. Usually this type of soil is too wet to grow many crops and doesn't have the correct soil incredients for planting many crops.

For proper crop growth, farmers alway tile their property to help drain off excess moisture. Tile are now placed about 50' apart. They are made of plastic tubing with little slits that the water seeps into. The tile are dug gradually deeper at they either link together meeting a main tile or go directly in a ditch. The tile are usually about 5-6" in diameter. After a big rain or early in the spring, the water coming out of them is nearly fully of water. That is helpful for not only good plant growth but that you can get equipment in and till or harvest.

Your description of the root mass that plugs up your two bottom plow doesn't make sense. I'd like to see a close-up photo of that. A 2 bottom moldboard plow should be able to plow up most any kind of root that I've seen without a problem unless there is allot sticking out of the ground which wraps around the moldboard attachment shank.

For removing large tree roots we always used a homemade 2 shank subsoiler. I still have it. It has two shanks that are about 2 x 6 of solid steel that can go into the ground up to a foot or more to ripe out roots. It is real heavy and big. The frame is a 6x6 box made of 1/2" steel The shanks are about 3 feet apart.

I had a similar problem on my 7275 some years back. The dealer flushed my hyrdraulics and replaced the filter. Guess they recommend to do this every 250 hours. The filter was getting plugged and actually collapsed from suction. It would release sometimes when the machine was stopped and do the same thing again intermittently.
