    Pulled over for a one-ton truck pulling a water pump in CT.

    My guess is that you have way MORE than $1000. in fines and yes you should go to court and attempt to make a deal. You are going to be found guilty no matter what. Plead with an excuse of stupidity and hard luck. Guilty for a reduced fine. Promise to fix everything. Welcome to Murica.

    MF 135 Runs beautifully for 30 to 45 minutes

    Note ......what he said. Ignition coils don't last forever and they do strange things when failing.

    Fuel filters and yet more Mahindra manual BS.

    Have the correct size box wrench handy & keep it on the bleed screw. It might be 10mm ??? With it CLOSED..start to pump and by the 2nd or third pump you should feel significant resistance as pressure builds. Now slightly open the bleeder and quickly close it. Repeat again & you should have...

    Air compressor quit

    Those motors need a capacitor to run. Hum with nothing else = high probability the cap is bad. You can verify its rating with a meter. Be sure to discharge it as a precaution before handling it.

    Fuel filters and yet more Mahindra manual BS.

    The fuel change interval for the guy with the 2007 tractor is different. He likely has conventional fuel injection. Most people on here including me have machines with high pressure common rail. I DON'T like it and won't spend 3 hours typing why. I can tell you that Bosch does have a replace...

    Surge protector woes

    The "strip" surge protectors (any brand) are worthless. Most use MOVs...Metal oxide varistor which sacrafices itself in a surge. The damage is done because it can't react fast enough. I use a box from ZEROSURGE.COM. No issues in 15+ years. You will pay for it but it works.

    Car battery. I am confused

    I have several Fords & 1 takes the same battery. I replaced it at 8 years old. Same issue. The deal is that it lost capacity. Now I used to get 12 years out of a Motorcraft battery. Car would sit overnight in 0 F temp and easily crank. Only got rid of it because it looked nasty. The quality...

    Husqvarna diagnostic tool 583897101

    Forbidden for us common folk ! I do have some questions. Where is the software ? I didn't see a CD. If I got that far would I be able to at least "read" the data stored on the saw ? I know you need a dealer log-on to install updates. Not interested in that.

    550 XP documentation

    Replies to above... Thanks for the WM link. My 550 is from 2014. It still works 100% for now. A little monster. I have heard some things I don't like, one of which is crank bearing failure on the chain side. I'm sure that plastic bearing will fail when I need it most. I will look at the WM to...
