when i was a kid i worked for a welding repair shop part time the owner would always stop a run away diesel by taking a rag and holding it over the intake to choke the engine off, well he did until he had one really running full blast and it sucked 10 or 12 rags into the intake before choking...

yes the ROPS is there to snag tree limbs and drop them on me, i spent my youth mowing hay in the hills of East Texas, nothing will make your @$$ pucker better than going over the crest of a steep hill driving on a pile of cut grass with a sickle running in part of your exit path.

no doubt, error #1 was leaving the limb in the first place. #2 not cutting it off on the several incidents where i hit it but no damage. #3 forgetting about it while cruising thru dragging the box blade. I promptly fixed all of that on this one and any other limb that i could find. I have...

ain't that the truth, but shhh the CFO is looking.

MB cars had that tech back in the 80s

property is mostly gentle slope but i have hi-way frontage with a steep embankment to mow as well as a pond that i dig out when the water dries out in it, coupled with the huge PITA that folding that ROPS is i just leave it up, also i sometimes get carried away with pulling up trees with the FEL...

this is the reason i avoided a cab tractor (too many trees on my property) and this would have cost me a large pile of $s. but on second thought it would have been safer. that gives me an idea, honey see i need a cab tractor, and with a cab you know i need AC, yea her response will be pay more...

that probably would have killed me as the limb would have hit me in the head. needles to say i ran my cordless chainsaw out of juice after this, i knew better but just too lazy.

sorry I do not follow why do i need to connect the seatbelt if i'm not using it?

nope, Ninja tree, stealthy

doing a little grading with the box blade over a path i have graded multiple times before without issue and then a tree jumps out and grabs the rops broke off and landed on me in the tractor. I was lucky, it hit me in the back and not the head and only took out the LH turn signal. It could have...

I read that as the left port on the tractor fel control valve is the pressure in port and they are telling you to install the new valve between the pump and the fel valve. there is also the to tank output and as i understand it that output is not always used.

in the stock config, the left fitting is either the return of the power beyond or the supply.
