Today is the second time I have found Diesel fuel in a gasoline tank. This one was a 5hp Honda. With the new low sulfer diesel people think it is gas because it dosen't stink. If you are working on engines for other people keep this in the back of your mind when troubleshooting.

I had a tree that the top was dieing and I wanted to remove the stump also. I dug up the roots and pulled it over with the tractor and some chains. If you look close at the last pic my 3510 is smiling!

Saw this pic on another board, don't know where it came from.

Had the boom lift hose blow today. The hose came out of the fitting at the cylinder. After checking it out it was only inserted about 2/3 of the way in the fitting when it was crimped. It was about 100* today and the hoe was acting a little lazy like the hyd oil was thin which I'm sure helped...

I've been running my 3510 PTO in 1000 rpm range while doing light finish mowing with tractor rpm about 1400. Am I asking for problems? I use 540 range with bushhog because it puts way more strain on the tractor. Someone told me 1000 range was for generators and other light load items.

Well the season is coming and you have one or more tires that won't hold air. I take liquid dish soap and mix it about 50-50 with water and paint it on the bead of the tire with the tire broke loose from the rim. If the rim is clean and the tire isn't split this will work most of the time. I've...
