To anyone: What do you think that inventor was trying to resolve with that style button?????

Charlie-

Did he elaborate any on how it functions? It looks pretty involved. I'd like to know what that bar is for bolted to the front of the mule drive too.

This isn't your everyday PO.

All,

He did send the serial number which makes it a 149, but he's off a tad on the number, 2050047U802264

Matt,
I can not comment on the AQS engine in a JD because I don't know anything about JD's other than they are green/yellow, but it does seem I remember that Tim Delooza found something for a 800 engine from a JD dealer, but I'm thinking that it was the air cleaner, but I may be wrong. Age kinda gets in the way of my memory sometime..........

Dennis, Would Carlisle 26 12 12 tires fit?

 

[dfrisk]

Andrew - I had a pair of Carlisle 26-12.00X12's on my 982, but they were a different 26-12.00 than most people run, they seemed the same size or just a bit larger than my Firestones I have now.

Maybe somebody more familiar with the Carlisles can comment on how they compare size wise to the F'stones.

IH spaced the fender pans up only about an inch to fit the 26-12.00's, if you mount the tires and decide you need more clearance, you could just put a couple flat washers under the attaching bolts, think there's six of them... maybe need to use 1/4" longer bolts too.

Guy I bought my 982 from used a pair of 26-12.00's F'stones on his 782 with no modifications, the lugs got close to the fender lips, but no rubbing.

Put plow on new to me 147 today, so used the elec lift for the first time. Found that when I used lift toggle it would kill the engine. Wire from lift toggle where it joins up with positive cable of battery was all but gone so I cut it back and put a new end on and bolted it seperate to positive battery terminal. I think battery cable may be bad, but wonder if lift switch is bad? It did lift plow once or twice out of 10 times, all other times it killed engine. I may spring for a new wire harness, but in the meantime any ideas would be appreciated.
