After thinking about this situation, I remembered that I cranked the seat spring up to near the max, because I kept bottoming out when mowing my field. So, the seat may well be sitting higher than "expected" So I did a cheat that I have done on a few unrelated applications - add a coin (a...

All three times I have been in motion.

Immediately and fully shut off.

Last time it's very possible I had turned around while backing up, as I have a cab, and it often gets foggy or snowy which makes it impossible to use the mirrrors. Today I was going down a fairly steep section of my driveway so it's possible that I shifted forward. Will take a look at the seat...

Last time I blew snow, twice, while backing up on level ground (PTO engaged, PTO RPM) the engine quit for maybe a half second then kept going. Today, blowing 20" of snow, the engine just plain quit. There were no warning symbols, wasn't close to Hot. Opened the hood, looked for something...

I think I have, but not sure. I generally look at the post whenever I get an alert for a new post, but I often don't check in for a week or three.

My guess is that it is a slight misinterpretation/misunderstanding. It seems to me that the OP's concern was that he had to be on-site to facilitate change-over from utility to on-site power. Yes, "un-interrupted" power for anything more than a few hundred to a thousand watts or so is going to...

There's even a "law" about that. It's called "the Pareto principle".

Cut with an axe, whittle to fit, putty to fill and paint to match.

Sears? The only Mail Order place near us when I was growing up was Monkey Wards. Only had to drive about 10 miles and you could get almost anything you wanted!
