    MOD. 782

    $300 to much? Guess that depends if they are laying around all over the place or one has to really hunt to find one decent enough to make into something. I looked for over 3 years to find one that had not already been refurbished or better for under a grand. They are not that plentiful around...

    Ground hornets

    When on the farm we would take a stick long enough to reach the next from a safe distance, wrap an old burlap sack around it and tie it with wire. soak it up good with waste oil and gas, lite it and hold it over the nest, or up to the nest. The would attack the fire and not bother the stick or...

    Hydraulic fluid help

    Northland makes the fluid for the majority of the implement companies, Case IH, John Deere, etc. Can still get the Northland Hytran from any Northland dealer. Northland oil is it Waterloo, Iowa. Long established company.

    Battery cut-off swt

    I use an inline fuel shut of also. I like to put them between the fuel pump (if applicable) and the fuel tank. Keeps the pump primed and makes for faster starting amd less wear on the starter.

    Ideal Blade Tip Speed?

    Ground speed has a lot to do with the quality of cut. Forget those stupid JD commercials. Don't try and mow your lawn like a golf green. 2" is short enough. Add that to what several other have mentioned and you will probably get along just fine. Good luck.

    Try a stronger penetrant on the clutch. I like PB Blaster. Let soak at least a day or two. Put some down that set screw hole also. Keep it wet and soaking. Some times it takes time to get things to loosen up.

    129 vs. 2082

    So how much difference in fuel consumption are we talking 6 hours of mowing? Couple quarts - $1.50 at most. Most spill more than that.

    Starting your cub in COLD weather.

    Definitely no starting fluid if there are glow plugs in the engine. Gas engine is ok but don't get carried away with a lot of starting fluid.

    Funny Ads

    I think that high lift one has been modified. Normally the cylinders were vertical with a cable from the tractor frame to a pulley on the top of the ram and down to the arm of the loader. Loaded a lot of manure with one on a Farmall Regular and later an F20.
