Harvey, thanks for the info. I tore it apart, cleaned the disks and reassembled. I snugged it well and have put on about 10 hrs since with no problem. It isn't very hard and I'm not a fan of returning it to the dealer. In the past I've found they somtimes mess more up than they fix. Just seems to be my luck. anyway, love this site and thanks for the help.

From the figures I scared up domestic production is some 6 million barrels a day and imports are some 11 million barrels a day. The largest single source is Canada at about 2 million barrels a day.
Domestic proven reserves are currently 20 giga barrels or 3.5 years at our current rate of consumption.
The oil bill for the country is some 80 Billion dollars per year or approximately 1/2 the current trade deficit.
I guess I am concerned as to the rate at which the country is being sold off to pay for the oil bill. There are a number of things that can be done to reduce our dependancy on imported oil. It is difficult to have any clear cut plans when the largest companies in the US are energy based and they have their man in the white house.
I do see some hope as Chevron-Texico is investing in fuel cells and NiMH battery technology.
Incidently there is as large of proven reserves in the oil sands of Alberta as the middle east.
There is a limited amount of oil energy, the drilling and increase in oil fields has allowed relatively stable oil supply since the 70's. If you think about it Europe is self sufficient in oil due to drilling in the north sea. The UK is in the top ten for oil imports for the US. I doubt I would have predicted that 30 years ago.
I have a cousin that has spent time in all the garden oil spots; middle east, Africa, North sea, and is now in Nova Scotia looking for more on the bank.
Compared to the larger reserves there are a number of marginal or small oil fields. I know or wells in Ontario that have been pumping a couple of barrels a day for near 100 years. You need to remember that the oil is not necessarily stored in a void but in rock. It takes time for the oil to flow to the well pipe and there is a finite rate at which you can pump oil from most wells.
Well Mark in Nevada they may still be looking for the King, but in todays hard science there is no self sustaining carbon Fairy, only theories that he has been seen in Nevada.

Thanks for all the the responses.

Jeff - There is no lift or transfer pump as far as I know. The exhaust just makes the usual little puff when accelerated but nothing at all when it drops. Most of the time there is no noticable exhaust except when it is really lugging (not often).
TomG - The manual calls for an idle speed of 1450 which is what it is. It holds that jsut fine.
Based on the other comments, I think I am going to start with the throttle friction plates before getting involved with the governor options. I've lived with it this long I think I will finsih the winter as is and get to it in the warm weather. I just spent 5 hours clearing 4"-6" of slushy snow off the driveway (1 kilometer long) with the loader, the snowblower wouldn't touch it.

Ok, here is the official word.

Thanks for your interest in Land Pride!
We do have a sub-frame kit available for the JD4100 with the LP backhoe BH1560. ( sub-frame part# 340-149A )
We have not had the opportunity to fit it to a JD4110 yet, but it is my understanding that the two tractors are built on the same frame, so it should fit the JD4110 as well.
Thanks Again!

Mark and Bill;
Well you are right the gallon price has gone up to $18.88, but they had the gallon cases (6) marked at $37.88. Needless to say I picked up one. I thought they might have gotten suspicious if I loaded up the whole cart, but I did check with the sales person in the area. Oh, yes the Rottella T is marked at $37.88.
Now don't you wish that you had of taken me up on the offer Bill. That discount might have paid for the shipping.

I'd like to add something and if I piss someone off, I'm sorry.

If our polititans would worry about us instead of every other friggin country in the world, we wouldn't be hated so much. In other words, mind your own business until it becomes your business. When it becomes your business, take care of business.

TomG, Leonard:
Wow! Thanks for all the information! Tractortips.com is very helpful.

What technically classifies a tractor as a compact? Wheelbase? HP? In the previous replies, is the horsepower for PTO or Engne?

I did a little surfing and research and found that the 4WD 2120 is very similar to my SD4043 in many regards: general appearance, 12/4 trans, and opt.tire size.

What else should I note on the tractor when I go the ranch later this week?

I do like a hydro when doing turf work. To be able to drop the bucket and skim off 3" of sod to make installation of a concrete pad and never spin a tire on sod you don't need to disturb is a plus as it will cost you clean-up time. Different hydro's do require different pressure on the petal for movement. As long as you are in need of a different tractor now would be a good time to study and compare.

There is nothing that says that a new switch will be perfect. You did not say you checked the coolant, find the switch and see how it is activated either in the recovery tank or in the radiator.

The hydraulic might be a little slower than a gear unit but I love knowing when it gets caught that it can just be reversed. I hate having to try and pick it out with the three point or unbolt and back them out by hand.
