In did a similar thing on a warranty issue with the selling dealer, then another. If you think that the dealers don't give a rats patootie, wait till you attempt to communicate with corporate.

Welcome @mailman, you sound much like me. I have a bit more land that I maintained with four 520H Wheel Horse tractors, one with cab and snowblower, one with a loader, one with a 60" mower and the last one doing tilling, mowing, grading, snow plowing and various duties. While it worked rather...

Running two different thread pitches in the same hole makes absolutely no sense, you are just removing even more metal from the damaged hole.

I made various parts for NASA, they want inserts (Helicoils) in all tapped holes. When using inserts, keep in mind that the sealing washer needs to go well beyond the insert diameter.

Fastenal made some big changes in their business model, at one time they were a hardware store on steroids, now they are in large part a shipping company. My local Fastenal, and I suppose most, has little in stock and isn't set up for retail sales.

I finally got a chance to go there and measure them. 22-1/2" x 29" x 6" high.

Yes they are. The photo was taken at the sellers place and he gave them to me. He works for Thomas English Muffins and has trays for each piece of equipment. I like that they are plastic and dry quickly which prevents rust.

I bought my 60" plow to use on a B2601 from a guy that was buying a 72" to use on his BX. Seeing his steep, long and curvy driveway my thought was he did a bad thing.

This video will show some prices and has a bit of information. Looks like under $5000 is a common price.

I hope their products are better than the website!

For a one time use I would get a cheap corded Harbor Freight hammer drill. If it dies they will give you a new one.

@RCW the above is some of the best advice you will get. I tried to find a money manager that had my best interest but soon found that it is all smoke and mirrors. I now have moved everything to Vanguard and selected the funds that I thought would be best and it is working well. Read about...

When you get it running, either by jump starting or new battery, check the voltage at a fast idle, it should be over 13 volts.

The long bottom will transport more material and has the potential to drop the small stuff while removing the large. I bought the short root rake style to do both transporting and raking my trails to remove smaller roots and debris. It is always a compromise but the root rake style still does...
