when we are coloring turf, we spray up to 70 gallons per acre. Baseball fields are typically two acres. Most chemicals we do at 30-40 GPA. Foliar fertilizers we can do at 20-30. Has anyone done the alternator setup your talking about that i could see? i Might have to downsize the whole...

Unfortunately, the Z is not available in California. i spray at 40-60 psi which draws 17-19 amps. The controller, foam marker, and solenoids would put me over 30, so i probably have to power the foam marker with an alternate source or rethink the whole thing. Yes, it’s a 100 gallon sprayer...

Want to run a sprayer on a Ventrac 4500p and wondering what i can get away with on flat athletic fields. Anyone have experience with spraying or other heavy loads off the back? Rig dry weight would be around 250#, plus liquid at 8 pounds per gallon. ventrac says rated for 750#, but Hoping to...

Yes, i saw that and that’s when i figured i was home free. However, the absence of a connector for the second coil, and this schematic seemed enough for me to accept that there is only one. It seems curious though. Take a look.

Decided to go to ignition and removed blower housing. Anything look interesting in this picture?😂😂

Hello all Gator 2006 HPX 4x4 w Kawi FD620D Rebuilt carb, new main and pilot jets, heater, solenoid, needle, clean. Fuel pump tests to spec Spark tests to spec Compression tests to spec Engine idles fairly smooth, soft popping once in a while during idle. Full throttle reaches 2900 rpm (spec...

I had a chance to work on the mower and did not find anything near the tank that was suspicious. Turning my attention towards the fuel lines, I found the return line from the injectors appeared to be cracked at the clamp when I bent it. This seemed like a possible source of a slow air leak...

We have a Deere 2653A w Yanmar engine. Recently it has run "okay" for half hour then loses power and I have to disengage PTO to limp back to barn. I say "okay" because it doesn't quite feel 100% but it mows. Once it rests for a while I can go slither half hour. I drained tank and out in new...

Related to this thread is a picture of why these engines are known to have problems. This is the other cylinder side, but raises another question. I recently replaced the crank seal on the PTO side and it solved a major oil leak problem. Now, after seeing this, I am wondering if oil from the...

Here is the plug from the 737 #1 cylinder. I did a compression test and came up at 75 PSI after replacing head with a salvaged piece, with #2 at 90 PSI. 57 is minimum in service manual. Also, I attached a picture of a proposed hack, whereby I would drill into head and valve guide (behind...

Has anyone successfully modified this engine to have better cooling at the cylinder by the muffler? We live in a warm climate and this head has been fixed a couple times. I bought a salvaged head and replaced it but am looking at the configuration for some mods hat might be interesting. I...

Hey all I have a Deere mower with a Yanmar 3tn** in it and its very finicky about air in the lines. The lift pump is completely buried in steel and hoses and might have an air leak. I used a hand transfer pump to bleed it from in front of the separator. It worked well, and the engine is starting...
