    Talk about a stress inducer...

    Yep - the computer. It has been an interesting day and a half. Well, I better start from the very beginning. A long, long time ago; in a galaxy far, far away... Ok, maybe not that far back. A few days ago I decided to reinstall my old copy of Norton AntiVirus. It was Version 4.0. I wanted...

    Tornado grazed by

    At about 5 pm our county was placed under a tornado warning. An explosive line of storms came storming through. I was headed towards the basement when I heard on the scanner that a tornado was spotted 8 miles southwest of our town's closest northern neighboring town. That would put the twister...

    Dealer  Stopped by the local CaseIH dealer today

    Well, while I was there getting a new belt I figured I would look at their current inventory of Cub Cadet and Case machines. Picked up a whole bunch of brochures, too. They had on the lot a D45 TLB, D35 with FEL and Woods rotary cutter. They also had a DX24 with hydro, FEL, and Woods rear...

    What would cause the MMM belt to "self-destruct"?

    What would cause the MMM belt to \"self-destruct\"? The machine in question, as some may know, is a 2166. I was cutting the grass when all of a sudden I heard what sounded like a belt falling apart underneath me. I immediately stopped the PTO, throttled down, and turned it off. I got off and...

    Group hug time

    As odd as the title seems, I think everyone is in need of one. On another forum I belong to, a Ford truck one nonetheless, everytime there is some sort of unrest amongst the members, someone usually posts a light-hearted group hug post. Well, with the unrest amongst some members here, I think we...

    Making a 2166 able to mow in reverse?

    I was wondering, how would you disable the feature that stops the mower from mowing in reverse? It is really annoying and I don't want it to do that anymore. Also, it has to wear out the PTO parts starting and stopping all the time. The machine has about 94 hours on it. Can it be enabled again...

Most of which I am not interested in. In the few instances I was able to obtain a pic or some info it was a pic...

    Just how strong is a ROPS?

    As I was sitting here looking over a 4000 TEN series brochure, there was a little picture of a 4000 TEN series tractor that showed the protective area of the ROPS.
