This is a thread to help others if they have an interest or are actually slipping over to the 'Dark Side". Mine is for going to Moab and Colorado riding dirt biker and such. Maybe a crawler later in the future. I did all the work myself. The trailer is a 30ft 14k Lamar lowboy. For a Gooseneck...

There is a local LS dealer about 25 miles away. I currently have a 40hp and want a little bigger and more power (50-60hp), plus want a cab, and 4x4. Run a shuttle trans currently and probably want to stay with it. Want to run a 8ft bush hog. Added lift would also be nice. Just ready for AC/Heat...

I believe I found the part........providing that's the problem

So its a 40hp turbo SAME. Recently had VR/Alternator issue that with the good help of the forum was able to get sorted and repaired. Well now the thing has suddenly developed an issue where it just sudden dies like the fuel has been shut off. No rhyme or reason. It could do it once the first 5...

Follow up....... Winner winner chicken dinner to the guy that first suggested the VR.... Had to sort of investigate which alternator to buy for the 1.5L Mits Diesel engine. Only took really about 30 minutes to figure it out and I bough off Amazon a new one with built in VR. Arrived today...

Well my 35hp turbo SAME ran fine yesterday. It started a little a slow...like battery was under charged but it had been a couple of weeks since I last ran it. I parked it as under the machine shed area. Then I noticed later in the day I was getting a bad right rear flat so I went to start it and...

Not sure the pump is the problem but trying hard to source one incase it is. Dealer said a replacement pump was $661.00.......way too much $$. Need to find another source. I just emptied the tank, took the fuel tank fittings out.....no water or debris. Pulled the filter and all the fuel related...

The SAME has been very reliable till now (681 hrs). 4x4 turbo diesel, I chheck fuel filter, checked lines, blew air back up through the tank, opened the fuel cap, it has an external 12v fuel pump that I check, it pumps fuel but is not high flow and i can stop the flow with my index finger, saw...

No idea how I did it but came out today to move some shooting table with the pallet forks and saw this. Was just running it yesterday and do not remember hitting anything. Well the tire is a 320/85 R24 and I hope I can just patch the side wall and put a tube in it. I would like to do it myself...

Been a while......buying a power rake. Saw one with a good price but really do not know a lot about FFC power rakes. Looks to be the same company as Harley. Was wondering if the power rakes are the same. The web site photos do not give enough detail on the FFC site. Want to buy for my Landscape...

The Badboy ZTR is an outstanding mower but most in this price range are. I have used them and nothing bad to say. I just purchased a big comm ZTR but went with a Country clipper with a joy stick....lows the twin hicks away in operator fatigue factor. The CC has a model in the price are you are...

Just bought a new 72 inch Country Clipper ZTR mower w/26hp kawasaki liquid cooled engine. Really really sweet mower. 12mph, joy stick control, 4 year warranty. I believe i got a good price of $8700 on it. Now i have a smaller CC ZTR mower but needed a larger one for a large com contract I just...

Bought a new Cub from HD with a 50" deck and a 23hp Kohler Courage engine. Only have used it once so far. I hate the rear mow route of turn the key, push the pto back in, then go in reverse to mow. I have to admit that had I actually mowed with one prior I might have opted for the entry level...

I have mean interests and one of the things i have always had an interest in is growing my tobacco. As I use Skoal (yes I know) I enjoy tobacco to include a good Cuban cigar every now and then. Was thinking it would be nice to try this as a garden project. Anyone have any experience in...
