I second taheide's comments on the rear seals.

Almost everyone I have ever seen weeps a little around the pinion, enough to dampen it that's all.

If you can find it loccally try adding some Lucas Gear Oil Supplement to the diff. next time you top it up, the stuff is VERY gooey but works miracles.

Best of luck.

Merry Christmas to all, I hope you all get to enjoy time with friends and family - gifts no amount of money can buy.

Being a new US citizen I am inclined to remind folk that the American way of life is what it is due to the unique nature of American civil affairs - that would have to include the activities of the ACLU. I lived in a country where civil liberties were not protected and the government itself was considered the greatest enemy - pity because they also got to make the rules. Be pleased we have peace, prosperity and some degree of balance in our society. Everyone contributes to that balance and it's well worth maintaining even if you don't completely agree with every item on everyones agenda.

Merry Christmas Everyone

kyvette, your close, but not on target. 28 T1's ride on a T3 or what the carriers call an DS-3, not an OC-1. The common method of transporting a DS3 is over an OC-3, which is the smallest termination device they make. The next up would be an OC-12 which carries 12 DS-3's or split off into 6 DS-3's and 6 T1 breakout boxes, or 9 DS-3's and 3 T1 breakout boxes, or whats commonly referred to as Dmarks. The speed of a DS-3 is 44 Mbs, the speed you are referring to and the Sonet are the interoffice backbones of the carriers. In most situations with ISP's and T1 customers, what happens is the ISP orders a DS3 with the local telco, and that terminates from the closest CO to where they terminate the DS3. From there the ISP orders a DS1 to the customer and the telco will Mux the T1 onto the T3 at the ISP, from the CO it goes through the Telcos backbone, either over sonet, ds3, or in some cases directly onto copper. From the last Co to the customer, depending on distance, it leaves the CO and runs on copper. Rarely does it hit the customers prem with fiber, in those cases there is a lightspan that is located outside the customers location within the last mile and terminates over copper at that point. T1's are based on copper, T3s are based on fiber.

Now for cable systems, they can get as high as 10 meg downstream, but it is a shared system, meaning the more poeple downloading, the slower the connection will get, upstream is fixed at those speeds you posted. Cable systems use frequencies to transmit the internet data that ride along with the analog signals of the video stream, in most cases now, all the signals are moving to digital, so more bandwidth will be avaiable which will ease up the constraints of a shared system. The speeds which some people have seen who use cable are probably experiencing the shared bandwidth syndrome of too many users, since all shared service, whether its, dialup, cable, satalite, or wireless, always oversubscribe users on these systems, usually on a 4:1 ratio. Only those with a fixed T1 or T3 have full unshared bandwidth.

FYI, worked as a network engineer for an ISP for 7 years, and in fact gave a few SBC techs a lesson or two in T1 technology. :)

Hope I didnt cause more confusion, and helped some to better understand how broadband works.

I was using my 790 this weekend, hit a bump and the machine shut down completely. Upon investigation, my positive terminal wire was about corroded off. I put it back on .. I had juice to turn the machine over, but it wouldn't start. I'm hoping a new terminal hookup on the battery will do the trick. Has anyone else had this problem? Should I be checking other areas as well?

Yes you are correct about the weight, did not consider that when I posted mainly because when I think of diesel I think of my Stroke. Now that I think about it, my tractor has Castrol in it, since it meets the recomendations needed, and in my gassers Castrol has always performed remarkably well. The main point I was making is the use of synthetics in a tractor is a waste of money since there are several brands of Dino that perform just as well in the tractor engine and the way they are used. As far as why Rotella T is so well known is mainly the trucking industry, when you go into a truck stop, you will almost always find they sell Rotella exclusively. When I drove a big rig thats all the company used in their trucks and the majority of the drivers I talked to who owned their own rigs used Rotella. I havent done a blackstone report on my tractor yet, but will do one on the next oil change next year. With the castrol 5W30 I used in it, the last cold start on Saturday was easy, so at least I know its working. Temps were in the single digits.

About a week or so ago I stated that my Farming Cousin with the F350 6.0 wasn't having any problems. I hadn't talked to him in a while. Well, I guess the story is beginning to change for him. Now he is getting some sort of miss and is loosing power on hills, just ripped out a front end and is getting some intermittent noices up front that service can't locate. He definitely doesn't pamper it by any means.

We do a lot of bush hogging in the course of doing our work, especially early on, a lot of the property we are working on is former farms that have been dormant for several years by the time we get to them.

One of the best tricks we have come up with for protecting the underside is using the FEL itself. We put the bottom of the bucket flat to the ground and set it up about a foot off the ground. Any brush, limbs, fence wire rolls or rocks get hit by the bucket before the tractor gets there.

Best of luck.

For work boots, I agree with Beagle that Wolverine makes a really good workboot. If you get the model that has a Duroshock sole, you can feel the cushion compression on every step when standing or walking on concrete or hard surfaces. Mine have lasted for years.<br>
<br>
For Hunting and general outdoor work in the cold months, I go with Rockies-DeerstalkerII. 1200 Grams of insulation and Vibram sole for traction.<br>
<br>
I like Danner and Merrell boots for hiking and general knocking around. For washing vehicles and being in mud, I use "Muck Boots" they're full rubber outside with a light foam insulated inside.<br>
<br>
I've also have a pair of RedWing/Irish Setter work boots that seem OK but nothing like the DuroShock Wolverines.

Even without the weighted tires you're overweight. The trailer must weigh 1000 lbs so you would be at the weight limit with just the tractor. I've got the same setup without loaded tires and my 7000 lb utility trailer handles the weight nicely. I can nicely balance the load when the FEL is a few inches from the front trailer rail.

I have to agree with "it depends on the rental yard".. I went and looked at a 48 in Rhode Island,,, It was an 03 model and looked worse than the 65 Ford 5000 I got rid of... The Ford 5K had about 8 owners in its lifetime and was beat beyond any usefull purpose.. The 48 I looked at was a hundred times worse than the old Ford. For all practical purpose, that dealer who took it on trade will probably use it for parts, To rebuild all that was wrong, would be cheaper to buy a new one... I am sure this is not the norm, or at least I hope it is not., Most rental yards should do, nad maintain their fleets a lot better than what I looked at..

Unless your yard is "Pool Table Flat", I'd stick with the 60 in. deck. Our yard just isn't flat enough for a wide deck, we drove a Deere demo with a wide (I think 70 or 72 in.)deck. It left a pretty uneven scalped surface so we got a 54in. on a 345 tractor and it's worked well. Frank.

I would certainly consider local first, because at some point, assuming you own it long enough it will require work and that's why going with the major players (Kubota, NH, Deere, Case, etc.,) would be my picks over other brands.

We all know that the standard practice now a days it to keep your soil from getting compacted. Well there is a impliment called a cultipacker that was made just for that. If you can find one (and where you are it will be tough) It is a perfect impliment for food plotters to get seed to soil contact. Since many of us dont have or want to have a grain drill this workd fine. Of course you dont have to have it by anymeans. I dont. Check out my pics and you will see what you can do with limited equipment. After doing your soil test and prepairing your ground, spread your seed. Depending on what seed you are planting will depend on how you go about burrying it. The seeds that need only 1/4 - 1/2 inch cover I had pulled a bed box spring (burned off the covering) over it. Last year the soil was a bit wet so I chanced it and tilted my disk so the back was the only ones touching and lightly disked it
in. If you had a cultipacker now would be the time to use it. If you had one you may only be able to pack it if your soil is light.
Go to that web sight I gave you and read as many old posts as you can. They have a wealth of info on it!
Good luck

It s a new tractor only 2 years old
It s been outside and let sit so I thought it was first the battery
I had problems getting it to start
It seemed at first that there was a load on it preventing the battery from turning it over then finally it fired up
The next day I was back to the same thing but it now seems that there is no load on the battery when starting
It does not even turn over and the panel lights don t dim during a start attempt so I m ruling out a battery problem
It has been sitting and it is cold and snow covered but I do keep it plugged in
I ll call the dealer tomorrow I need it to blow my 1200 foot lane
Thanks John

Several who use their loader for plowing have discussed a blot on "slit" piece of pipe over the cutting edge of the bucket. I haven't done this since I use a blade to plow, but you can probably find some discussion about it in the archives. It also has the advantage of keeping the bucket from gouging the gravel.
