Ah, the old GM plant in Shreveport. ELIO Motors scammed A LOT of people out of reservation down payments with the commuter car that never was. ELIO was going to use part of the old GM campus for manufacturing. CT

Have a 1978 Troy Bilt Horse tiller. Not a safety device on it. Wife refuses to use it. CT

"Am I being overly paranoid?" I think maybe. If transfer tank is clean and you have a filter on it after the pump, I'd send it! CT

I have had this for many years. Have had 0 issues. Has a CAT pump and Yamaha engine. Yamaha PW3028 Yamaha PW3028 Pressure Washer CT

I have seen them in MO and OH before. Never seen one here... CT

Have a 1984 C10 Silverado with 140,000'ish miles. 6.2L N/A, OD Auto trans, 2wd, 25+mpg. Just do not get in a hurry and it isn't set up to tow heavy. CT

The 6.0L Vortec doesn't have the DOD and the associated lifter issue. Always on all 8 cyl. CT

Sharp truck! Mine is black also. I am still driving a 2013 GMC DenaliHD 6.0L Z71. Just turned 150k miles, mostly trouble free. Replaced radiator recently and still on the OEM brake pads. No desire to own an emissions era diesel. 360hp/380tq is adequate for anything I hook up to. CT

Tractor Supply Co has 6v battery for $109.99 last week when I was there. CT

It is a skill to learn. Have to think like a differential in an axle. When turning, have to slightly reverse one side while other side is turning forward. I can go back and forth turning 180 at each end and not scuff the turf. Have had 2 different ZTR and have used several others in the past...

Will require adjusting the voltage regulator to about 9 volts. Or just use an 8 volt Battery Tender maintainer if it is a occasionally used tractor (which I'm sure a JD M is). CT

Also, GOOD #2-1/0 welding lead copper cables. Parts house #4 cables do not work well on 6v. CT

"8 volt battery? You gotta be kidding. If 6 volt is rare then 8 volt is in the Smithsonian." 8 volt batteries are common. CT

I see a good sized tree branch that you do not notice will "adjust this for you. It really needs some support near the canopy. My LS P7010C has a vertical stack that runs up by the cab. Has a support in a rubber grommet for vibration and movement. 800+ hours and its still in one piece. Otherwise...
