Would anyone know some of the causes for excess gear or bearing noise in these tractors. Could a bad clutch cause this. Also pto does not fully disengage. Can this be related to excess gear noise.

Based on the age of the tractor, the ignition switch only "turns on the alternator" and maybe provides power to the starter solenoid, plus light control.
Tractor Data says the tractor was alternator equipped. If it has a generator, the switch only controls lights and starter solenoid, if it has one.
The tractor should have only a mechanical connection to the control of the injection pump. The throttle is probably the shut off for the engine, as well as controlling speed.
Oliver and John Deere both used a light switch for their ignition switch, even though diesels don't have a need for ignition switches. Shut off was by a pull rod or by the throttle lever
Oliver/JD light switch would be a good source for the switch as my memory indicates it used a similar switch.

That is a rare one as in our area the majority were all four wheel drive even on the small chassis. Typically only see the two wheel drive while in other countries.

[QUOTE=Chief;199798] Some of us are just too stubborn to do that.(I talking about you Murf!)LOL!Hope you and family are doing well.

Dennis, the wife and I are looking at possibly building a rural farm house/shop also knowns as (aka) a Barndominium.These are rural type farm homes that are LOW maintenance but VERY practical in their design, usually incorporating the shop as part of the house. (some call them a "shouse")I like barndo.For the past year and a half, I have found myself online looking to learn as much as I can about building these homes.I see a lot of other folks doing the same.

As we head into the holiday season I send my best wishes to all and to stay safe and hopefully avoid the China Virus. [/QUOTE]

Me?? Stubborn?? When were you talking to me dear wife?? LMAO

Glad to hear you're doing well Randy.

Coincidentally I built a building along the lines of what you're talking about myself. In my case a hangar / home (we call it a 'hangar-nominium') from the below linked design but as a recreational property and as a place to house my new baby, I picked up a Robinson R22. A float-plane for commuting to the cottage was becoming problematic for a couple of reasons, firstly yahoo's with boats & PWC's take great delight in cutting off taxiing aircraft, even during takeofs & landings!!! I also didn't want to cut a runway through the forest where our new hangar-nominium is (our family hunt camp) and wanted to be able to use it during the winter when plowing prior to arrival would be a problem.

I should have done this years ago!! It's a hoot. LOL

A happy and VERY safe holiday season and winter.

Best of luck.

[QUOTE=Murf;199796] I find it hard to believe that a humidifier could possibly use enough water to keep the water coming to the humidifier running even warm.... [/QUOTE]

Very interesting and good points.

On the Aprilaire 445 it has a tank, float and pump to send the water over the element. And when the furnace comes on and the blower started it was not long before I could feel the hot water running to the 445.

The pump was mounted in the reservoir so it would be sucking from the top and it was located directly in line with the hot water feed. I guess the size of the reservoir was to match up to the pump flow rate.

The value of the hot water on the 445 was probably next to zero in fall and spring, and only material in dead of winter on cold morning full on heat ups.

The new Aprilaire I installed is tankless so the warm water makes more sense. This system is much more delicate and makes me more nervous about possible flooding as it has a tiny electronic valve that controls the flow based on whether the fan motor is on and whether a small float indicates a low water level. So your point about Aprilaire Engineers preferring filtered water is apt.

Anyhow the new unit does very little for raising the humidity.....:-)

Also anyone considering buying and installing an Aprilaire like I did should know that they only warrant it if it is installed buy an Aprilaire HVAC company. I tried and could not even get a question answered by them on anything.

These tractors have little excess radiator capacity. You could have plugged passages in the radiator which would require a shop to boil it out. Getting hot that fast makes me think of a cracked head (common problem) but hope not.

How are you going to ventilate the area under the tin roof? If you're going to put in a ceiling like in greyhorse's video, you'd usually put in eave vents to let air in and a ridge vent and/or a gable vent/fan to let hot air out .
If you want to leave the attic space useable (or you like the look), one way to do it is pull the tin, then put down sheathing or other decking. You may or may not retain the purlins. Rigid foam insulation goes on the decking, then vertical cleats so you have a air gap running up the roof then either put the tin on the cleats or purlins or sheathing then tin. Eave vents between every cleat and a ridge vent to let the air out.
Don't neglect a moisture barrier if your insulation can absorb water.

My great room has 5/4" tongue&groove for decking - looks great - but probably overkill for a barn. On the other hand, OSB sheathing ain't pretty.

You can put wiring in the airgap, so figure out any ceiling fixtures and fans up front.

Lastly, check with your building inspector before starting as he may have opinions he can enforce.

This is an old secret method for diagnosing glow plugs, so don't tell anyone.

Take an old school sealed beam headlight bulb. Put a length of wire and an alligator clip to one terminal of the bulb. Put a second wire on the other terminal with a bare end (I solder the end of the wire to make it stiffer and easier to probe with.

In use you put the alligator clip to the negative battery terminal. Now touch the bare wire to the positive terminal and not the brightness of the bulb. Now Touch the bare wire to each of the glow plug wires while disconnected from the glow plug while turning the key on each time. Again, note the brightness each time, all should be consistent with each other and very close to the brightness of the light straight across the battery. Any dim results or no light you have a wiring issue.

Now to test the glow plugs themselves, put the alligator clip to the positive battery terminal and touch the bare lead to each glow plug one after the other (key off for this) and again note the brightness. All should be equal or really close to it.

Best of luck.

I can remember using 10 6 4 when I was a kid. The good news is you get a lot of material to spread so you can spread in multiple directions, 10 pounds per 1000 sq feet.

The bad news is it si not slow release so your efforts will be short lived. The name brands Fall lawn products spread at under 3 pounds per thousand and are slow release.

So I would go with a Fall Lawn food product rather than 10-10-10 or 10-6-4. Fewer bags less lugging longer lasting about the same cost.

It is hard to compare a good zero turn to a compact tractor. They both have different main purposes which they both do very well at but at the opposite ends of the spectrum they are not so good. There is a new player is the zero turns which we really have been enjoying selling for hillsides and that is the Cadet line of pro mowers with the steering wheels. Still zero turn but the fronts are not caster action and you do have control of them to direct the front steering. This helps on hills as well as wet spots to hold your line.
The compacts are physically larger then the zero turn and that is the start of the problem as well as the fact they lack the zero in the turn! I always push for people to buy the smallest tractor or power unit with the largest deck possible. That allows the deck to stick out further from the tractor making it easier to trim. It also cuts the size of the uncut circle when trimming.

Thanks for posting this. I never realized that Ferris has a suspension, nice, and that is why you can so so fast on them and mow 5 acres an hour with no back pain. Amazing!

I'm with Bosco. I maintain a couple of drives one is 1/3 of a mile and the other is a 1/4 mile long. The box blade will cut up and fill any of the ruts. If it gets packed to tight just put the teeth in and cut it up and take teeth back out and smooth it out. A hydraulic toplink makes things a lot easier. I can keep both roads as smooth as a baby's hind end.

I know the problem is either slack between the pedal shaft and the connection to the transmission or something inside.
