Stick to your guns Dennis! Change of administration is always doubtful. Could just be Jr. taking over from Pa. Because of you, a company is forced to act honestly or seem to act honestly, but you shouldn't have to do this, this should have never happened in the first place. The "new" administration should change there name to clear the air of any bad service from the "previous" owners. Then again with a name like Mulch Xpress, I would figure that they would deliver mulch and nothing else.

On my tractor I was losing power in reverse, though I had full power forward (HST transmission). It turns out that the mounting bolts for the HST pedals on the frame rail became loose and made reverse push down without any effect. Solution was simple just torque down the bolts or replace any missing bolts. Hope that works in your case.

To me it only made sense that if the engine was running fine, but as soon as I shifted it into gear and it stopped within 3 seconds that something was cutting out the engine. Knowing that there are 3 interlocks: seat switch, gear shift switch and PTO switch, I started with the most accessable one, the seat switch. I see another post, where someone is jumping an interlock switch, but I wonder if the circuit is normaly open or normaly closed? He may be jumping it but not defeating it correctly. I bet a shot of lock de-icer on these switches would help too.

Crunch, I had a car that was in perfect mechanical shape that after a bit of running would back-fire and stop. Not a good thing on the highway. I trouble shooted everything but to no avail, then I thought the fuel tank may have something to do with the problem. So I removed it, drained it and put it back in place. I found small beetles and a 1 inch diameter washer in the tank. The problem never happened again...I figure that the washer would settle over the bottom mounted intake tube, stop the flow and once the suction disappeared it would shift off awaiting the next time to block the intake pipe. Who knows could be? What type of beatle likes gasoline?

High RPM sluggishness is sometimes a symptom of a restricted exhaust system. Inspect the exhaust for any crimped pipes.

Normally one would be concerned that their tractor is obsolete, but I can still get full parts support from NH. Never have liked that name "Boomer" though, makes me feel like I'm from a dated generation. ;-)

Last month I had a bad hydraulic leak that dumped about a gallon of fluid. The problem was the main supply line to the 4-way FEL selector vibrated loose, so I only had to tighten the connections within the 4-way block to fix the leak. Hope that helps.

Their is no doubt that wood/corn/pellet burning appliances will be banned in the future in the suburbs. I just hope that they don't apply the regulations across the board to include rural homes. They did this with vehicle emissions, city and rural cars/trucks have to be tested even though the air quality issue is an urban problem. It's a shame that I don't get a credit for my approx. 5000 trees that are cleaning the air.

Do you have to remove the FEL? Or, park it on a level surface fully lowered and disconnect the FEL lines, then drive the tractor as if you were plowing you should notice the difference in power if the FEL actuator is to blame. I have 2 spin-on filters on my tractors transmission, you just have one?

My CASE DX25E has the same problem, but my rear filled tires have tubes as the dealer said that they will prevent rim rust out. However it appears that the salt in the tubes corrodes the valve stem so they end up leaking. I've ruined two good quality tire guages too, with salt contamination. I just keep topping up the tires with air as they bleed down ever so slowly.

The rule-of-thumb for engine builders is too break-in an engine using regular run-of-the-mill oil, nothing fancy with modifiers or moly, as you want "wear" to occur. It's said that a new car doesn't see its peak power until after about 10,000 Km's (Hmmm: 6350 miles) as the engine has to loosen up so to speak (it's built tight). It may be that high-perf gas engines are better built to exacting tolerences so they can run synthetics from day 1 (hence Mobil 1's claim).

I like this website just the way it is. It bothers me to no end, when media websites change their web pages and layout, just because its been so many years since the last change. I get comfortable viewing websites and when formats change drastically it up sets the balance so to speak. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Cheers.

I use halogens outside, because I want instant full brilliancy and out in the cold that may take some time to happen. Is anyone concerned about the mercury that will end up in landfills from increased CFL use? I also heard that when CFL's expire they tend to smoke at the base which is apparently normal though unnerving for a first-time user.

Condoarms is correct. The pressure unit creates the ground to light the lamp. Engine running = no light, pull wire still no light = because no ground available to light the bulb unless the oil pressure drops to zero closing the contacts in the sender unit.

Somewhat been there, done that. My last home was a Linwood built home with a massive cathedral cieling in the Living Room. I replaced the existing cieling fan (at the peak of the roof) with a new unit and I used my 32ft extension ladder wedge into the main beam at the peak and on the hardwood floor jamed a combination of furniture to prevent slippage. I rigged an up-haul line(rope) from the upper ladder rung down to the floor and used this as a temporary pulley to haul components and as a safety line for those pieces while assembling (tie off with slack). All of my tools were in a tool belt and no one was allowed below the ladder for safety unless to attach stuff to the up-haul line. It wasn't easy and hard on the legs and nerves, but a cieling fan is great to have especially with a fireplace in the same room. Having a remote sounds even better so you can control from whereever you are. And...a great conversation piece when others look up at the fan scratching their heads wondering how it was installed!

I agree with Justus, you don't want to skimp with the filters. I admit its tempting to save a few bucks on after-market filters, but at what risk? Buy genuine products and you'll never look back. Afterall, your not changing oil on these things as often as a car or truck.

Jon,
I use my Case for snow removal (big driveway), moving gravel, digging out small brush (making trails), mowing fields/lawn (2-acres) and hauling firewood. With my 3-pt tilt bucket and FEL, I can haul 1300 lbs with ease. Oh yeah and its a miser on fuel, starts readily and takes up no space at all in my garage. One suggestion is to rig extra lighting on the ROPS for winter work.

I'm with Dennis on this. Hire out to get the tough work done by someone with the proper equipment, then base your tractor purchase on your long-term plans/goals. The larger the tractor the more you'll spend, more fuel you'll burn, more storage room taken up and lack of manoueverability in tight quarters.
