    L3901HST no cab

    Trying to help friend with this L3901HST who lives some distance from me. He says his tractor does not have a mid pto but I am not certain he would know one if he saw it. If anyone knows if the machine already would have a mid pto or if one could be added I would appreciate knowing. Dave

    Portable Generator use in cold weather

    A relevant cold weather topic has to do with portable generators. For those companies who will post operating temp spec's, the low limit is not very low. The crankcase vent line freezes and the oil is forced out of the crankcase. This happened to me with a Honda EM3500 in 1998 during a major...
