I've seen trailers where they used a torch to blast holes in the frame for wiring to pass thru. Metal splatter and no rubber grommet. Ship it! It was reported that up in the RV/house-trailer industry that blueprints have a note to flag certain features: PTF,PTM. "Pound to fit, paint to match"

Uh, you guys might not appreciate this comment but how about a scrap piece of 2X10, a square, a forstner bit, and a little paint?

Without rereading the thread, I think there are several comments on the bent frame component being the top link attachment. Original post says it's both side links.

My mower deck drive belt failed prematurely and the dealer speculated it was from mowing high grass. (Toro zero turn, but not commercial grade) Makes sense with heat buildup from extended mowing sessions. Expensive belt; pain to change it.

I managed to twist a scarfier shank doing that.

He's probably asking about replacing those awkward turnbuckles that stabilize the lower arms with telescoping square tubing with cross holes and pins.

Agree. They worked too hard to be scammers. Personally, I think the owner might have suffered from delusions of grandeur. Elsewhere in this thread, it was mentioned he had Congressional ambitions... And that house... Delusions could possible explain his poor risk assessment.

Makes sense. OTOH back then, burglars used to also steal the VCRs that recorded them!

This guy is a current or former TBN member. I saved his link years ago, because it made sense and I'm gonna need it someday. http://www.best-motorcycle.com/other/secretssellingcraigslist.shtml (it's not just about motorcycles)

i had AG tires back then and the dealer recommended staying out of the thornfield when it was soft. When it's dry, the tread lugs keep the thin tire carcass off the ground. Not foolproof but I had a lot of thorns in the lugs but not many flats.

Could be me but offering cash to buy a car at a dealership doesn't seem to help. I think the salesperson also gets a commission on a finance package.

"Free" credit card transactions sounds a lot like "free" shipping.

Saw a loader bucket at a farm show with scarfiers mounted on its back surface and pointed toward the tractor, for back dragging. With the bucket bottom flat on the ground, the scarfiers didn't touch the ground. With the bucket curled back, the scarfiers penetrated. If you floated the curled...

OP, from memory, I think you're right about the 4330 seat switch being different than your current model. Seems like there's a plastic arm about 1 1/2" long that pivots when it hits the opposite surface.

When we little guys need our little tractors to run a PTO unseated, we rotate our little seats forward against the steering wheel.
