If you loan it, and someone gets hurt bad, who do you think will get sued? You. When asked, my answer is "My insurance won't cover it." So far I've had no hard feelings.

Like Mark, a PHD is no problem on my 4100 and I don't think it's scaled down. It's a BushHog P2102, drills 4 feet down, doesn't drag when moving though there's not a great deal of clearance. Usually I use a 12" auger, but this past week I've used it quite a bit with a 9" auger for terminal post holes.

Honda and Kawasaki are #1 and #1a, Kohler's are next at #2,Used to be #1 by far but, lost it . Briggs and Stratton and Tecumseh are a distant third. Look at the small engines in top of the line industial pumps, generators and for that matter lawn care equipment. that Kohler should treat you very well, if you treat it well. I had a 17hp kohler in a 1971 Bolens garden tractor that my dad bought new. We junked that thing in 1988, because of the transmission not the engine, and it was never rebuilt. good luck with your little deere.

I still want to know if POS means "Pride of Spain".

Maybe I should ask that in one of the gun threads.

It's a long way from Mississippi to Nevada. No doubt the extra cost is shipping. Try pricing such a deal in Alaska!
I would definitely have to learn to weld there.

I'm no expert, but while the .357 is a great self defense weapon in the home, I would load it with .38 hollow points. You don't want to shoot a hole through the next house and the one after that. Same think on shooting a slug in a shotgun. I'd load birdshot in that. A rifle is better than nothing, but not the best weapon in close quarters.

I have a .357 and a 12 gauge shotgun, but I would go for the .357 first, unless I had a sawed off shotgun, then I might tend to use it first. Nothing like the sound of the pump shotgun to get the bad guy's attention.

Hi, Rambler. Thanks for getting back to me. The 501 is a Ford, correct? I haven't seen one, but I think it is probably a bit different from my NH 451.

I got mine hooked up and working. It was a devil to adjust, even with the help of an old manual. My TC33D must be a little lower and more "crowded" on the back end than the smaller farm tractors this mower would have been used with.

You refer to a clamp on the left 3pth arm. On my mower there is just the a pin to mount into the ball on the end of the 3pth, and there is a separate large inverted-U shaped "stabilizer" bracket that mounts to the tractor at the top-link point. It is impossible to describe how it works to raise or lower the mower blade, and even if I get around to sending a picture, that might not help too much.

I have seen some other mowers that have an extended arm that pries against the bottom of one or the other of the 3pth arms ahead of the pin in the ball to raise the blade. Does that sound like your 501?

I went by the Tractor Supply Company today and bought a Golden Rod pump filter. Tom, you were right, they are 10 micron, they also have a water blocking fuel filter but it is 15 micron. The bowl with the drain should catch any water that comes through. They also had filter fitting kits from Great Plains Industies along with pump and tanks of all descriptions. Thanks for the suggestions.

Mark, the lack of trade ability is not surprising. Most dealers today do not own their inventory, it is financed under what is called "floor plan financing" under which they only have to make payments, interest only, on the inventory they have on hand.

Thus, the bigger the inventory, the bigger the interest payment, the less money there is for buying trades. Notice I said 'buy' because that's exactly what they have to do. When a new unit covered by the floor plan is sold the dealer MUST payout the amount of principal ear-marked for that unit, PERIOD. The floor plan does not cover trades, so if a dealer wants to take one he has to cover the difference out of pocket in order to pay out the financing on the new unit.

Now, around here a lot of established dealers are quite happy to take trades because they often make far more profit on a used unit than a new one, especially if they can move them out quickly and don't have to carry them in inventory for long since there is not as much competition on used units and they can 'beat up' customers on trade prices by manipulating the numbers. You know, the old "I'll give you $5,000 extra for the trade by bumping your new unit by $5,000 too." trick.

Best of luck.
