    Back after being away for 10 years

    With my boat being a certified yacht and weighing in at 13500 pounds loaded, it pulls fine. And I have the Oregon coast range to my west and the cascades to my east.

    Back after being away for 10 years

    Well, we have two. A 1977 General Marine SVR 19 (Sea Ray molds). It's a 19' runabout with inboard/outboard engine, too. It's an open cockpit, closed bow, that doesn't have any canvas for. There is a lot of places I can't pull the bigger boat due to being over width and height. So we take it to...

    Tractor/equipment for up to 5 acres

    I hadn't thought about it, but I have an old 64" deck from an industrial/ commercial mower that I turned into a yard mule. Change up the belts a little and mount a hydraulic "motor" to it. Then just put some mounts for the forks to hold it. I wanted to regear that mower so it could scream down...

    Tractor/equipment for up to 5 acres

    Depends. I've moved 12' 2X6's a third of a unit at a time. I think it's 1300# of weight. I have the counter balance fluid in my tires and it had just the tread touching the ground. And I have the industrial tires not the farm tires.

    Tractor/equipment for up to 5 acres

    Some attachments won't work properly due to the lack of pressure. That is true. But there are many that can be used, as long as they will work with the fluid used in the Bota. The brush I was looking at required a higher PSI but could still be used. I was told that the gearing can be changed to...

    Tractor/equipment for up to 5 acres

    When I was in Idaho, the boss had one for a skid. It was a deck like on a riding mower, only bigger. Set it on the ground and put the front end in float and go to town. Worked pretty good. It also was hard on wire fencing. It spun fast and would chew it up. Not like a brush hog that sucks it in...

    Tractor/equipment for up to 5 acres

    I didnt get the model with the mid PTO. A waste in my opinion. My PTO is 19.8hp. As for the front mower, you can get one. At least I could. I have the front hydro connections and the removable bucket. One of the biggest reasons I went with the Kubota. There is so many skid attachments that can...

    Tractor/equipment for up to 5 acres

    The trick to stopping it from being jerky, is to run the RPM's up. My wife and daughter have issues with that. After my years of heavy civil construction work, I can control it more. But, even if the throttle is run up about a third, it will help that fluid move through the valve body better...

    Back after being away for 10 years

    Thanks. She is big and fun. Now that is something you will never hear a guy say openly. I need to spend more time in both. Four years with the boat and three years with the pick up. And only 5000 miles on the truck and 20 hours on the boat.

    Back after being away for 10 years

    Hey all, Sold my old 95 GMC back in 2013. Been without a diesel until a few years ago when we picked up a 2004 Chevy K3500 with a Duramax, to pull our boat. And the pick up being stock, does a great job of pulling our 13,500 pound load through the Oregon hills. Yes, we did it the proper way and...

    Farm shop fire - scrambling -CJ3A / isuzu 1.8 install help.

    Raven6, I think I know what your wanting to do. Your best bet is by contacting the folks at Advance Adapters and see if they have the T-90 to the engine your planning to use. Then you can still use the bell housing and components for your trans. They will be the only ones that have the parts for...

    PMD Issues Need help Redmond, Oregon

    You have treated me good so why not. I always send people to those that treat customers like humans and not just a sale. I will let you know after I can get in touch with her. Oh and that is not a picture of her. She's a looker but that wasn't her.

    PMD Issues Need help Redmond, Oregon

    I think I sent her the link to get everything from you Leroy. I will have her see if it will plug in.

    PMD Issues Need help Redmond, Oregon

    Nope! That is the easy part. To replace the wires to the back of the IP you have to get the intake off to get to the connection. Ok, lets start again. She has the black Stanadyne PMD on the IP. She ordered a new one with extention cable and all. The one she got is the gray Stanadyne PMD. So...

    PMD Issues Need help Redmond, Oregon

    Yes the IP harness is what needs to be done. And if I was close I would be there to do it for her in a heart beat. She needs her burb so she can transport her kidos around. I thought if there was someone close that could help her out............

    PMD Issues Need help Redmond, Oregon

    Is there anybody here that can help a gal out by installing her PMD remote cable? She has all the parts but needs to replace the harness from the back of the IP and isn't sure she can remove the intake and replace the wires. If anybody can help this gal out, it would be great. She is located in...

    Who has the best chip?

    I'm not saying the HT chip caused the head issues. But they are cracking bad enough to cause coolant leaks. EGT's do run a bit high. As for the TM, it is only set to 2psi at cruise. That was at sea level and now that I am at 2280' it will cruise at close to 1psi. As for the chip replacement I...

    Who has the best chip?

    On the Hypertech chip. I have one and it plain sucks. The stock chip was better. Not in the current truck but in another. My current has the HT and I am about to replace the heads for the third time. I sure wish these things would get cheaper. It sure would make it easier to replace the bad ones.

    635 Rebuild cont.

    I'm not sure as I have tossed that bunch of racist "C" lovers. They got pretty pissy at the furd and GM owners so I found it best to leave them be. Stop by if you need the free "motel" and a meal. You know how the wife likes to cook. Too bad the Idaho tax return has yet to show up. I'd have...
