The Guy I bought it from said he put 15-40 through it year round. It gets real cold my way. Any suggestions?<br>

I'm using Shell Rotella 15-40. I bought it at walmart in the 5 gallon bucket. Nice stuff... Meets all John Deere requirements.

I didn't get my 22 until i was 13.. I did get a simple daisy bb gun when i was 9/10. The small bb guns that aren't pump or CO2 powered can't kill you. The 22 can. Unfortunatly more people have been killed with a 22. Too many people think ahhh it's "Only a 22"..

I would suggest the bb gun first and tech him all the safety points and if you are pleased with his understanding in the need for safty, then look at the 22 for a birthday or next christmas.

I've had 5 in my old pick up this fall, and at least 5 in the shed/workshop. I've caught them on the standard victor mouse trap, the wood base, with the metal triger. I put just a enough peanut butter on the triger in the little loop. this way they have to work the trap to lick the peanut butter out of the and SNAP...<br>

I have mounted one on the fender side I'll be turning around to look backwards as I go, and one up on top of the rops. I think it's nice to have bright light down on the ground so I can see the back edge of the blowers blade.

The one on top gives a nice full area light. to see whats ahead...

Guys,

I'm setting up the same on my 790, 20 amps also. I have the one 55 watt light faceing the back on the original light switch from the rear pig tail.

On the font cowl next to the key switch I have mounted 2 toggle switches to control the 2 fronts up on the ROPS and one switch to control the 1 rear light up on the rops.

I think i'll be all right with the amps as long as I do not have both aux. switches on at the same time...

cycling would be moving the loader lever around... up and down...

This would bleed the air out by pulling fluid back in the lines.

So you can drive it but no loader / 3pt hitch??

The tractor doesnt make any diffent noise now, than it did before the leek?

I would look at something a bit bigger starting at the size of the JD 790. I dont think you would be happy with the JD2210...

Every person will have a different take on if it’s safe and how it affects the tractor….

Well my 2 cents.

I did it. My loader was unable to break out, or lift a load of gravel or even a bucket of fire wood…
So I added one set of shims and the pressure is now 2500 psi. Perfect in my eyes… I think that if you are comforable and know what you can lift and the terain you are on, and counter balanced; it’s fine… The tractor is a rock

Murf hits the nail right on the head...

On road Diesel is 2.40 right now and I had my heating oil tank filled a month ago at 1.51. The local fuel company’s don’t deliver less then 150 gallons at a time. There is no way I would use 150 gals of ag in a year, but used more than the 5 gal cans, where they were not practical.

When the heating oil was delivered I had the driver fill my 30gal barrel which I put on a pallet and bought down to the house.

DRankin,

Well I got some seat time this past weekend, and had to refill. I filled up with the 6 point boost heating oil, and the smoke is less and I have more pulling power.. I'll be adding some anti-gel, and more boost soon just to see if it will improve some more...

This morning it was about 30 degrees out and she fired right up and ran as normal, being cold at first the smoke was slightly blue-gray... I did not use any preheater..

I got my clamp on forks from one of the guys on the right hand side ---->

I found them to be great at moving logs, pallets, brush piles... I will someday weld them on to a separate frame for the loader without the bucket.

Brian,

I was in the same boat, I did how ever get the Mid pto just because i could get it now, and it make the resale possably easier.

I have the LX5 Rough cut mower and i have actualy mower the lawn with it if i didnt want to switch to the finish mower.

I did get the fronter 1072 rear discharge mower also.. sweet cut, looks like a golf course... any way good luck..

Hi Art,
I've been wondering if I'm going to run into problems with the 60" myself and wonder if it would be wise to upgrade to 60 to the 72". When I'll be going around curves aren't I going to run out of the tracks?? I have an Econor on order and don’t want to get stuck with something too big or small.
Thanks Brian

Well I got the REAR AUX. HYD. KIT, Monday evening, and had it installed an hour later. Very simple. I have only one gripe. The steel plate that you put the quick connects through, has an angle to place the flow direction sticker on, but the angle was in the wrong direction... Unfortunately I didn’t have the means to bend it back the other direction, and it didn’t matter all that much anyway..

Chief thanks a bunch, and the next time you see ricky tell him I said thanks again as well.
