    Can I just pour cement in ballast box and add water.

    47" Plastic impeller

    I purchased half shaft for I believe a Honda SUV and had a machinist cut the outer joint off and weld in place of the U joint on the PTO shaft. I made the support bracket and mounted the 2" pillow block bearing. That setup worked for about 10 years until last winter the splines in the quick...

    JD 2210 360 hours, blown head gasket

    2013 Tier IV

    Just curious to know if any dealers are getting pricing info on the 2013 tractors that are above 25hp that will fall under the new tier 4 regulations?

    2210 Snowblower vibration

    Finally had a chance to deal with the vibration from the mid pto shaft. This is what I came up with. The vibration is totally gone. Still have some chain noise so I plan on trying a motorcycle type O ring chain as they seem to run a little quieter.
