[QUOTE=papawmonkey;188314] it is a zenith carb on a massey with a 3 cyl perkins ag3 152Engine starts great idles smooth has trouble increasing rpm. but main problem is engine sputters and quits after about 5 min. i have noticed gas on bottom of car after it shuts down, not a large amount but several drops. will not refire for several minutes, basically after it cools down. idle mixture screw set at 1 turn mixture screw at 2 [/QUOTE]

I'd start by checking for vacuum leaks. check any vacuum hoses, if they are hard or checked replace them.

If there is no obvious leak from fuel lines, gas could be seeping from somewhere on the intake side of the engine. Get a can of aerosol carburetor cleaner and while the engine is running spray it around the manifold gaskets, base of carb gasket, even the pivoting shafts (butterfly, choke, etc) of the carb. If the engine smooths out while spraying you have a leak. It's a good idea to use eye protection for this, you don't want a backfire in the face.

Complicating the problem is that to access the area requires rental of a boom lift every time. I have been trying coercive ways to discourage them but when I am home and they are pecking the pellet gun will make an appearance. I hope to miss the chimney!

Looks great! It does look like a couple of feet more would be a bit roomier. I have gone back and forth on the idea of buying a trailer but decided to just pay the dealer to come out if needed for service. So much of that stuff here would just sit outside in the rain and without a trailer it's harder for someone to ask about borrowing my equipment!

How old is the gas? With today's gas you can expect it to be good for about a month without a preservative like STA-BIL, maybe a few months with that. Really, it makes a huge difference. I have a MS 170 and love it but it does love fresh gas.

Frank, good luck with your auction. Hope it all brings top dollar.

I'm sorry to see you selling your equipment but that time comes for us all. You are doing your kids a great favor by taking care of this stuff now, and from the sound of it you are enjoying the transition. Nice work!

Please do stick around and offer your advice and comments as you can. We can all learn from one another and those with the most experience, like yourself, have the most to offer.

Have fun in your new digs! New friends and few chores is never a bad thing!

[QUOTE=kthompson;187736] You might could use a pulley puller also. The fork made to hit with hammer on the end may could be rented. Do not take the temptation of trying to drive out with hammer for think you might could break it. Just thinking may be okay to heat some but would be very careful doing so. [/QUOTE]

To be sure, I would not advocate pounding directly on the tie rod end. The mating portion of the tie rod end fits into a donut hole shaped end on the wheel. With the hammer method you take two hammers and simultaneously hit the donut hole from two sides. I have had stuck tie rod ends drop right out after one good simultaneous hit. You do not need to pound and pound with all your strength.

If your cutter has shear pin that is broken the blades could appear to spin just fine in a no-load condition but when actually cutting grass the extra load could cause them to slow down and be ineffective. Shear pins are designed to break under a shock load but the friction of the connection could allow them to spin when no load is present.

Frank, it's good to know you are getting on with your new life with optimism and good cheer. As time goes by a simpler life with less stuff to maintain is more and more appealing, and that day is fast approaching. I hope I embrace it as well as you are. Be well and enjoy the simpler life!

My 4310 hasn't given me any trouble other than normal maintenance. The only thing fixed was the instrument panel was replaced early on due to fogging but the new one has had no such problem. The skid plate probably prevented a lot of trouble by protecting all the under-chassis wiring harnesses. I have about 350 hours on it but after initially building trails and cleaning up around the property it has been mostly used for mowing, spraying and towing the big chipper around as needed. I stopped cutting firewood and now just chip everything since my wife's asthma flares up any time we burn. Enough firewood for emergencies and that's about it. The backhoe will get another workout this year as I build another retaining wall.

Overall, no complaints here. I hope to avoid problems such as you had but my guess is the front axle is of similar design to yours based on inspection. It does look like bronze bushings on the top end.

Wow, Murf, sorry to hear about your arm. Hope it heals up all the way and gets back to normal soon.

Looks like a nice clean truck. It sure would be handy to have one of those now and then. Is the door logo yours or did it come with the truck?

I'd love to have a dump truck along with a flatbed tow truck and a 45 foot boom lift. But with more toys comes more expense and maintenance so I just pony up extra for rentals or delivery as needed.

[QUOTE=cutter;187047] Hi Dennis and gang. Just wanted to let you all know that I am recovering from heart surgery. If anyone wants some pointers, all I can say is, don't cough, sneeze or laugh! God bless you all:) [/QUOTE]

I'm really sorry to hear that.. but maybe it's good to hear because it could have been worse. Was the surgery an unexpected surprise or was it a long time coming?

I hope you have someone there to take good care of you and are quick to recover because your family and friends (and tractor!) need you :)

We have to drive 10 miles on a gravel/mud logging road each day so there is little point in washing often. Every couple of weeks I stop by the car wash to rinse off the mud. Every two or so years I get it detailed, buffed and waxed. I do make sure the body drains are open maybe twice a year.

I've been on two cruises to Alaska with Holland America and really enjoyed them. Beautiful scenery, some wonderful nightly entertainment, great food, fresh air, calving glaciers, breaching whales, and incredible sunsets. One tip would be to take Dramamine each day regardless of any advice to the contrary, it's just not worth wasting a day if the seas are rolling a bit. Each cruise line has their own target demographic and you may not enjoy it much if you were on an under-25 party ship or a "family" oriented cruise with lots of kids ala Disney.

Some misc. rambling follows :)

People who drive automatics are used to a kick down when they punch the accelerator. If the downshift is missing they think the car is sluggish and boring. When CVTs market "speeds" the speeds are programmed set points of the CVT but they still don't feel like the old autos.

I think the new fancy automatics, the ones that deliver mileage equivalent to manual transmissions, are more like manual transmissions than the autos of old. They often advertise single or dual clutch automatics. The difference is that they clutch and shift action is automated so they don't suffer the inefficiencies of old style automatics. Some of the really good ones can shift gears in 10ms or so.

Supposedly Ford and GM are collaborating on development of a new 10-speed automatic. I hope it turns out better than the GM transmissions of the last 30 years.

Anyway, if you have enough speeds then the differences with CVTs blurs.

Dennis, that Baja looks exactly like mine except I haven't been able to find a bed cover. They are hard to find. The Baja was based on the Legacy platform, was made from 2003-2006 and they only sold about 30k of them. They built some extras in 2006 that may have been sold as 2007 models. The car has a loyal following and they are holding their value quite well.

If it were mine I'd go for the height. You never know when you might want to put in a 2 or 4 post lift for vehicle maintenance! At least that's my plan. But a 10 foot ceiling is probably too low for that plan.

After replacing three hard drives at home in the last three weeks I've had it with hard drives. Even "Enterprise" class drives don't last, million plus hour MTBF ratings notwithstanding. From now on I am only buying SSDs. They don't last, either, but at least they generally don't fail catastrophically. The time spent rebuilding takes too long, even with image backups.

Well, I'm really biased against Honda engines and think Kohlers are the best but I'd buy a Subaru too.

Maybe the fuse problem you read was mine, I forgot about that. It's just a simple fuseholder that I replaced, not really a box at all. IIRC I suspected some corrosion in the wiring (sort of a wet environment here) and the fuse holder broke when I opened it up. Not a big problem but, yes, that is something that I had to fix.
