I work in a sand and gravel operation. We use water truck for dust control. My pick up stays a mess. Use the drive thru's during the winter when I can't stand it any more. During the summer have the Hotsey out often and wash truck. Do a hand job on truck a couple of times a year.

Now the Harley's are another story. Minimum of weekly usually every ride either complete hand job or quickie with pressure washer to remove bug guts. They are detailed at least every 2 weeks with quickie polish each wash getting the hi points.

During the week if just a couple of short trips I may not wash, just do windshield.

That's weird timing. If you are mechanically inclined it's pretty straigth forward. JDGreen did good again.

My 4400 leaked new just out of warranty changed no problem. Pushing 11 years and 2000 hrs leakin again. Will add oil until spring.

Asphalt in front of house and part of drive. The rest is millings (ground up asphalt crushed). Those areas I pack the first snows to freeze in so I hope to never see surface until spring. But the thaw cycles tend to mess that up.

The widows is crushed limestone runner crush. Hers is tough hi crown and ruts. So the blower does catch a fair amount of stone with the freeze thaw cycles.

I'd use a 15-40 in engine. If the transmission and hydraulics use the same sump a universal hyd oil from tractor supply would be find. If trans and hyd seperate any gear oil would work 75-90 for general light work and a heavier weight for extended heavy work

I buy most of the generic stuff after market. Many parts you can only get from the dealer.

Filters, oils, antifreeze, grease, pins, bulbs, bushings, battery, tires. I am going to check avaiability of air filters. From commercial sources.

Your exaust is a prime example of creative thinking. $70 for a flasher is crazy. But that is the problem with design changes every couple years. I might be willing to look into a pair of LED flashers so they match before I hand over that much$ for 1.

What throttle setting are you using when starting?

I suspect you need to add some throttle 1/3, 1/2 maybe more as tractor starts back throttle off some.

Skip losing the weight was easy with the right motivation. Keeping the weight off is the challenge now.

Lots of exercise so have to eat more to burn more exercising and have to burn more because I eat more this is a dog chasing its tail thing.

Trying to come up with the right balance of calories and exercise.

Toughest part is the weights at the gym losing fat and replacing with lean causes a weight gain so am trying to keep everything leaned down to stay at 170-175. 7.3% body fat now.

Currently I'm back up to 177 bicycle not helping size at all so will cut back some carbs and burn a little meat.

Pound for pound you'll put more HP to the ground with the 4x4. You may want to add some weight if needed for tilling.

The bogging down issue? I am guessing you do not have the RPM up in the power band to start with. You should be up near the PTO RPM range maybe 3-400 below depending on the power band of your tractor.

When working the tractor I'm always up in the power band near or at PTO and a little more when brush hogging heavy growth.

Frank I hear ya about posting for the different stuff. I feel a little bad also about lack of visit time also.

I'm on a pretty good exercise program get 8-10 hours a week, gym, walk, run, bicycle plus I feel like doing stuff in the shop now. (lost over 70#) now on a maintenance program. The Harley only has about 6,600 miles on it so far this season that is neglected also.

But like the "ole boy" said: "if you don't have time to exercise a couple hours a week do you have time to be dead 24/7."

Bleeding fairly straight forward crack a couple fuel lines at the injectors. Turn over till you get fuel squirt, retighten. Do not use ether to start. You will dry the cylinders and lock up engine if you use to much. If you have to use something to help start use wd40

Record sales in the handgun arena. Iam buying all the ammo I can afford. Brass Copper and Lead assembled have doubled in price since osamma took office. Ammo that was .25 a round b4 is now .50+. A good investment I think.

Cummings makes a good splitter engine. See my pic 10. Little over $500 and many hours of scrounging and fabricating.<br>

Hadn't thought about leg in a while. I had picture of it on desk top for the longest as a reminder how quick something can happen even while being extreamly careful and expecting something.
