The compression release is also used to build oil pressure before a cold start. by the book ,you hold it in until the oil pressure light goes out before you release to start.

I was out taking an aimless Sunday afternoon drive, and there it was. ;)

I found my land after about a year long search...my criteria was flat, within 30 minute drive of Louisville, KY and had utilities available. Secondary considerations were location outside of the raging annexation/zoning battles going on in the area (i.e., not within some city's incorporation zone) and also not more than 3 acres so I won't have to spend every moment of my free time cutting grass. I got 2 acres for $23,950 which is the going rate in this area at this time. I got what I wanted, plus a spectacular view of farm ponds and woods that is only a mile off a major highway. It is quiet, picturesque and manageable. Keep looking and you never know what those "Sunday drives in the country" will turn up!!!

I was told by a few people latly my brother included who is an diesel mech on PGT big trucks that it is possible that since the lifters have never been adj. that when they get worn that they will actually hold the exhost valve open a little bit when hot making it hard to start we will check that out also.

I don't know, Peters. I do think it was a bit overfilled for this time of year. The reason I say this is I just went to look at the regulator and it was frosted up again (not frozen yet). It seems the problem only occurs when the outside temp is in the 80's, causing the gas to expand inside the tank?

I was having trouble around my new house. It has a large roof and a valley where two rooves meet over a steep area of soil. I built a retraining wall and filled it a couple of times with soil and sand. Planted grass but could not get it to stay. Finally I bought some Burmuda hybrid turf and placed it down on the slope. After a few weeks of watering the I had to pull up a little of it and the roots were down about 18 ". I have not had any problems with the errosion since.

Wally, I have a 4100, and I guarantee you that you are gonna need more than loaded tires to safely use the loader. If you didn’t get a separate manual for the loader, go get one. If you did, check the ballast section. Deere says to sling 700-900 pounds off the rear end in addition to the loaded tires. That's too much in my experience, but a 400# box blade would be about right. Just stick with us here and we will talk you through the learning period. Just post your questions one at a time on the web site and watch the info flow.

Dear Bernie, both Tom and Billy are 100% correct: there is nothing wrong with what you describe. Your steering wheel assembly has what is commonly called a "steering hand" pump that determines direction of flow to the double acting steering cylinder attached to your steering linkage.

A brief note of humor; a friend decided to service his hand pump, made some errors like not assembling the spool properly, and when he started the engine the steering wheel just kept spinning. These pumps can act just like a hydraulic motor if they are not serviced properly. He eventually decided to let the dealer fix it, a good idea after it almost broke his wrist!

Incidentally, I find the "necker's knob" very helpful, especially doing loader work.

Mike, ditto to everything Jack said. I have a 4100 and I have not felt the need for more power yet. Strange thing about PTO chippers, for $2500 or more you get a machine that will chip about 3.5 inch sticks. For a $1000 you can buy a free standing model with its own engine that will handle 2 inch stuff. That's the way I went. Around my house anything over 1.5 inches is winter heat in the wood stove. Too bad we don't live closer. I would show you a barely broken in 4100 and throw in a wood chipper on the deal.

Most talk about hydraulic links refers to top-links. That’s what I have. Some people do have hydraulic tilt as well, and sometimes I wish I did, but I have a crank side-leveler so there's isn't enough aggravation to motivate me into hydraulic tilt.

I will say that I use the top-link almost entirely to control action of my box and seldom touch the 3ph. For cutting crowns, swales etc. the side-leveler can be used. However, it's handy to know if the 3ph floats laterally or not. I think most do, but some model JD's can select lateral float on or off. I've never figured out exactly how mine works. Sometimes I think I can lift one lower link arm manually and sometimes I think I can't.

The way I cut a new crown is to crank the leveler nearly to a max tilt, hold the box off the ground and lower the 3ph until one side of the box is on the ground and then some. I have done this with one scarifier extended as well. I then make a pass and the box end will cut a bit of a swale. The endplates do get in the way, and a blade with tilt probably would work better. Additional passer extends the width of the swale until it's the entire width of the blade. If I start by lowering the box too much, pretty much the whole width of the box ends up on the ground, and it doesn't cut a side-grade very (that's having lateral float I think). Of course, as the width of the side increases, the tractor ends up on the new angle and then less tilt on the box is needed.

All of this reminds me that I need to cut several swales before freeze-up myself. I'm getting tired of water on the garage and shed floors during spring thaw because the drainage isn't adequate over a bank at the back of our place. Of course, I'd probably still have to chop ice out of the swales, but it's easier than chopping frozen ground. Nothing's really easy I guess.

Doc: Here's an idea that just occurred that you might pursue if you're very curious about the coil. First is that I would ensure that there isn't a missing heat-shield (in absence of anything else, adding a shield might help). I assume the points and plug gaps are set. Then, I'd measure the current in the primary circuit when the tractor is at typical operating rpm. I'd ask MF tech types if that's a normal current. If MF says the current is normal, I'd identify the coil's manufacturer and ask the manufacturer for the coil’s specs.<br>
<br>
I believe that factory parts divisions periodically substitute suppliers of OEM parts. There's a slight possibility that either a supplier or the parts division was a little optimistic about specs and requirements, and a coil with marginal specs for the application is in the parts system. It may be stretching a bit, but if nothing can be found that's wrong, then I guess this is the sort of thing to think about. <br>
<br>
An alternative might be to just go out and buy a bigger coil. An automotive type might mount easily enough, and coils are pretty generic things. As a '50's highschooler, one of the first things many kids did when they turned 16 was to go out and buy a Mallory coil and put it on the family car. We thought that would make it go faster (the beginnings of disillusionment in adult life). You would want to ensure that a coil is adequate for whatever the circuit is drawn though. Adding an external resister also would make the coil run cooler but would reduce the spark.<br>
