    Kioti Key

    While on the subject, these keys are easy to bump while going in/out and break easily. Next time I break one I will probably leave the indexed part in the switch and fabricate a protrusion on the front to toggle it since security is not an issue for me.

    How far is too far for driving tractor on the road?

    A family member of ours was involved in a car/tractor collision, he was in the car and ended up injured and lost sight in one eye. I don't know about the tractor operator as this was in another State. Personally I don't feel that there is much if any upside to your venture.

    Best and worst chainsaw?

    Ageed....I bought one of the first 562xp (20") saws and it has never let me down, took down over 40 ash trees after the Ash Borer thing and that saw performed flawlessly. My smaller Echos helped in the process. I have avoided Stihl saws only because of their proprietary stance, meaning all parts...

    DK40 front bearing failure @ 1300 hours

    I run tractor fluid in the front diff of my 2002 DK40 (as OEM)and I'm surprised that I didn't suffer the same fate as motorseven. I don't know how many trips I made hauling full loads of creek shale up a 90' gorge on a 30-40 degree incline. Only part I ever needed was a tach cable...

    SURPRISE!

    Happened to me at Walmart, my car requires a high pressure filter ($9) and some scumbag put a low pressure ($7) filter in the HP filter box. He apparently thought that saving two bucks was a fair trade for trashing some strangers engine.....

    Can a diesel engine run on gas. .

    Military truck engines are multi-fuel, they are primarily Diesel but can be run on gasoline or anything else that burns. Not sure what the engineering is behind that or if it damages anything internal but, hey!..if a enemy tank is on your ass, who cares.

    why so many jeeps now on road?

    I bought a JGC because nobody else makes a mid size SUV with a V8 and I love it. GM used to,with their Trailblazer and Envoy models but now those are just the rebadged Equinox.

    Oil & Fuel Fuel cans

    You can still buy good old fashioned (non-carb)fuel jugs if you look for race type. Here is an example. Shop around for the best price...
