Did this dance with one front of mine (L) multiple times - Tried plugging but had multiple close together (all my fault btw). Defaulted to tube & had to replace once already due to ripping the stem (again me). I also used the HF manual changer and gave up, and had a tire shop help last time...

FWIW I dove in out of curiosity with the MightyMac chipper-shredder that is made in the region here in PA. It is the same very solid design that is still sold after many decades. I bought it used and repowered with the bigger Predator engine, and have one for spare parts. It is "fine" if you...

Put one on mine soon after I purchased it in 21 and never looked back. Very happy with it BTW, the edge will tear you up initially. I have a variety of percentages of rock soil mix, so I never bothered to resharpen. Be aware of the limitations of the equipment though. It helps me to get a...

Same time frame & now about 300h (added in spurts, unfortunately). No issues so far with the tach cable, but I will check the routing, so thanks for posting that. FWIW I did a full hydro change at the 50h (prob a waste but it made me feel better based on experience w old cars)

I'll chime in - some here definitely have found this out and done so. I have the same LP one on my 2501 - to me it is a bit too long. Researched and was going to do it, but just jumped in and never came back around to it. If I recall, about 2" seemed the right amount but I was planning on...

Worth a look, but more times than not, I find that there is some sort of catch on the back end

No idea on quality, but check the shipping as it could be $$$ - you might find a sale at TSC or used is a better overall deal and more durable

I have carved out about 2 miles of interconnected trails in the last 15 years, with some more planned. It's all sloped (on a ridge side) & mostly heavy woods with glacially deposited boulders. My process is pretty simple and limited to my equipment. I started by hand, with 1210 &...

Easy now Dan... Firstly, WELCOME to the forum and lots of good info from the folks here! The whine is pretty normal and can be worse under heavy load, gear selection, going uphill, full bucket etc. It is hydraulic connection & not a direct response to throttle input. They take a bit of...

I have still have KTAC but I am not sure this is true..? Expensive fail, meaning operational accident rather than something not working. I have had two instances where I looked into it. One was my idiotic move running over nails, ruining the tire and wheel. It was easier and a wash to bend it...

Interesting timing - have the same one and moved it around in the garage yesterday, thinking about welding it. Mine is fully broken free so can skip that step. Kudos to you as you have quite the arsenal and accompanying drive to have a go at it. Thanks for posting but I was 50/50 before and...

It also seems that there is at least one house fire a day on the local PA news, but this Dec has been extra cold and below average. The ski areas all opened early... House fires are pretty scary stuff! One of the main uses for my tractor is clean up and firewood and I have burned a...

Wipe it down, squirt of WD40 or similar, and a then shot of grease...? I keep a multipack handy!

Carefully sneak up on Max for me. Usually, check again after the next cycle, but I have come to realize that I have an ocd problem with the number of vehicles and engines that I maintain. I always want to know whether it uses any in-between changes or on very long trips. Is this in danger of...

Now THAT is saying something!
