If it is an option for your tractor I have been very happy with my front mounted snowblower I do 4 driveways ( my neighbors ) in 1.5 hours and very little damage and a 32HP tractor.

a 100 gallon tank at 20' F and at 40% capacity will vaporize up to 235,000 btu/hour. A 100 lb tank has about 22 gallons in it and will vaporize about 79,000 btu when full but much less as the liquid level decreases. Owning your own tank means you can shop it when you need it. You can manifold...

When I used to teach for Vermont Castings I used that trick but always with someone else's dollar bill !

The dealer said fuel gelling can also be a culprit. Its plugged in and warm now so no code. Thanks

well I plugged it in and warmed it up and no more error code but thanks !

Thanks

I have a 2303R and am getting the ECU 1209.3 error code on the display It started right up I let in run for 20 minutes ( it was 12' F here this am ) it moved fine so I just parked it and plugged it in. I have a call into the dealer any thoughts ? Thanks in advance

horizontals are ASME tanks. Verticals can be ASME tanks or DOT cylinders.

low sulfur fuel oil varies between 118,200 btu / gallon to 128,000 btu / gallon. At 92% efficiency it makes LP more competitive. Especially since it is domestically produced and readily available. And much cheaper than #2 if you own your own LP tank.

We have been burying propane tanks where possible for decades. And they are safer under ground then above as long as they are marked so idiots don't drive skid steers or tractors or mowers or ATV over them and shear off the fill valves. ( ask me how I know ). Also the temperature underground...

different manufacturers offer zero clearance wood burning manufactured fireplaces and some are better than others as you know. a decent hearth shop should be able to help you. no footings required but as with any natural vent appliances a good draft is required.

Well we had the last court date last week and he pled to a lesser charge ( somebody called it ) had to pay restitution to us and also a 125 charge to NYS and we got a 2 year order of protection. So hopefully this chapter is over. ( I am leaving the cameras up however )

It should be a pretty easy install for the LP company. Install a tee with a shut off pointing towards the regulator and install a quick dis-connect after the second stage regulator before it goes into the house. You have CSST going into your house so there is flexibility Make sure the quick...

too heavy too far. if I can find pictures I will post them

I did the same thing on my JD790 and just put in a power beyond kit in the back and plumbed if off that. I think I may still have the valves and hoses if you are anywhere near upstate ny

What you have is a typical twin stage system red regulator ( 1st stage ) takes the vapor from tank psi to 10PSI before it goes through the through the 3/8 copper. Second regulator brown Rego takes it from 10PSI to 11-13" of water column before it go's in the house. The rest of the answers...

An update if anyone is interested. He was arrested and charged by NYSP and we have gone to court twice. So far he is still not willing to accept responsibility so is steal pleading not guilty. So it may end up as a bench trial which is fine with me the video is pretty clear. But the wheels of...

I purchased one through my local JD dealer for my 2302R used it a few weeks then returned it for a full refund poor weld quality / cheap steel / bent tines easily

If NY supported drilling those landowners where the rigs were located would make $$ but the product would likely not stay domestic it would be exported. The arb with Asia and Europe is 20-24 cents per gallon currently.

Propane is very high currently here in NY and New England exports are strong.

Horizontals are tanks ( ASME ) verticals can be ASME or DOT. Different relief valve settings on DOT vs ASME. Tanks for auto gas can have dual certification DOT / ASME. Corrosion can happen internally if air is introduced into a tank under a vacuum. I can bore most people talking about LP Gas or...

Steel is high right now and the tanks are more expensive currently that they have been in the last 6 - 8 years ( here in NE ) a used UG should be inspected visually before sale and it needs to have been cathodically protected while under ground. I wouldn't pay $2700 for a 15 year old UG tank...

I bought one for my JD2032R but returned after it bent almost everytime I used it. I was using it for firewood to lift logs and rounds. Westendorf did stand behind it and I belive has made improvements but I wouldn't buy another one.

Propane tank prices have increased almost 300% in some parts of the US. So if the LP company spends 1200 -1300 to set the steel and there is low usage then they would charge a rental fee to try and recoup the investment they paid for by setting the steel. I would suggest you ask to purchase the...

I have 3 up already I agree

If there is a next time it will be recorded. At 63 I am still learning the technology.....

well TBN team the state police with the sheriff department came yesterday took another statement and then the punk was arrested and charged. So at least that is progress. thanks for listening and I appreciate the well intentioned advice. The other older couple he vandalized we set up a camera...

yes mine and others. We are walkers ( my wife and I ) and this punk likes to stop and yell at people mainly seniors and women from his car and threaten them. Not a nice guy nor a nice family. When I walk alone he just glares and keeps driving.

I have no dog. And don't vandalize peoples property.

No worries but thanks. Its a PITA but the least of my worries with the issues in the world these days. I hope he does get help one way or another

The dirtbag left a second deposit in the mailbox and we have it on film. SP are coming back to take a second statement and file a second charge. Town Constable was the one to talk to and the town supervisor. I filed a complaint with county Sherriff ( no response ) post office ( call SP ) filed a...

That's not really an option when I see the father I nod we do not exchange any other communication.

They have been here about 15 years

Apparently we have a town constable so I am going to get him involved. And look into the restraining order. Thanks

Thanks I am calling them now.

Thanks I am calling them now.

I never thought of the Sherriff's department. They would also have jurisdiction ?

We had a run in with the people down the road 1/2 mile or so because they would not restrain their 2 large dogs. The kids or wife or myself go for a walk ride a bike etc. and the dogs chase and growl and scare the kids. Neighbors were not interested in keeping their dogs restrained. After the...

ASME

I was an inside technical / sales guy for LP appliances for 13 years at Ray Murray Inc. After I spent 20 years in the field Best job I ever hated

100LB cylinders is the correct term. A DOT cylinder is sold by the weight so a 100LB cylinder holds about 23 lbs of propane propane weighs 4.23 lbs / gallon. An ASME tank / vessel is sold by the gallons. Tanks are a pressurized vessel built to ASME standards. The relief valves for DOT vs ASME...

Empire floor furnaces are very reliable but make sure the vent pipe is maintained and inspected regularly. And that the redundant high limit has been installed as well ( yellow wire to a high limit) depending on the year they would have 2 high limit switches right from the factory. Although...

You would need to replace the pilot assembly, gas valve and thermostat as well.

I just emailed them to you.

Where are you located ? I am in upstate NY and have an extra 8' Land Pride that is very heavy and in good shape

I agree that is normally the case. Its is in like new condition but for now it can sit on a pallet in the garage.....

I just don't get enough snow at the same time it sits more than it works....with a big storm it is awesome but we have not had many of those

I am toying with the idea of selling my 2019 59" 2 stage snow blower. It has less than 20 hours on it and did a great job on my 1100 foot driveway on the front of my 2032R. I paid over $7,000 when I bought the tractor. Thoughts ? Thanks

If you own your own tank you also own the liability / service issues with that tank.

1.89 is great price. Closer to 3-3.25 on the East coast

Have you looked at Rinnai gas fired space heaters ?

There was a class action lawsuit a few years ago because some of the exchange companies marketed them as " 20 LB" when they only put 16-18lbs in them. small DOT Cylinders should be filled by weight on a scale. Tanks ( ASME ) are filled by volume. Larger DOT cylinders are also filled by volume...

Do you remember the old diaphragm gas valves with the bi-metal safeties ? I lost a few eyebrows with those when I first started service work in the late 70's

vehicle conversions I have never done but everything else with LP and natural gas I have been doing since since 1980. But knees hips and back are shot from kneeling on concrete and wrestling boilers and tanks etc. so I teach at night and sell during the day. Its been a great industry and a...

LP is 2516 btu / CF and 1 gallon = 91502 BTU so 142 CF/HR = 357,272 BTU or 3.90452 GPH

Not worth the risk filling tanks at home. I have been handling liquid propane for over 40 years and I take my 20lb to the fill station and have it filled. As far as the space heater make sure it has a tip over safety switch. Those work great but get really HOT

Yes the upsize at the generator is for start up most start on full throttle then cycle back. I would 90 out going back then flex ( is it stainless steel ? ) then union then nipple then full port ball valve such as a JOMAR then nipple then bell coupling 3/4 x whatever the reservoir pipe size is (...

3.9 GPH is 360,812 BTU / HR. At 80' and low pressure ( 11'-13" WC) you would need at least 1" black pipe. At high pressure ( 10 PSI to a new second stage regulator ) at 60' 1/2 back would handle it. The second stage regulator needs to be at least 5' away from any source of ignition. At 5' from...

A 45,000 btu generator ? That would be tiny. If you get the spec sheet from the generator in gallons or btu I can size it. Also need how many feet from 2nd stage regulator. But my .02 I would hire someone that is insured. California does require a G36 license for any related work valued at over...

Have you pulled the outlet from the wall ? To see if it is broken ? I just replaced every outlet in my 30 year old house because of 1 broken duplex arcing in a plastic box in the wall.

when liquid release it expands 272 times as it vaporizes. Liquid vaporizes at temperatures over -44'F. Its the liquid that makes LP gas guys pucker up. By code it should release less than 4CC f I saw a pump on a homeowners tank I would probably not fill it. Too much liability.

yes they should

well I hope that works well for you. How do you know when they are full ? Do you use a scale ?

they shouldn't fill and tank that has not been purged. The adaptors for motor fuel fill valves are different than portable cylinders

Is Wolff Specialties anywhere near you ? Or Northwest Propane ? I just googled Washington propane automobile conversions

Manchester makes an excellent product. If you have no choice but to do it yourself It can be done safely before you install it on the van. If you take a couple of pictures of the tank I will send you a list of fittings needed to do it safely from a 20LB cylinder. You should be able to order them...

42 years with LP gas so here is my.02 if the tank is new is it under a vacuum ? Does it meet ASME and DOT criteria for a motor fuel installation ? Is it set up for vapor withdrawal or liquid ? If not not only does it have to be purged 5 times to 15PSI it must also have methanol injected so as...

I have been gathering pumpkins from my farmer neighbors field and dumping them in my field for the deer. We get 6-8 every morning and dusk.

DV stoves have glass in the front of the firebox but they do not open. I would check with your LP gas supplier and see if they have any recommendations. I always thought Vermont Castings had the best finish and color choices with Jotul the next best. Both are good stoves.

I am in Stephentown NY not too far from you and can help you with your gas stove questions. Over 40 years in LP and have installed and serviced most of them ( even in White Creek ) for John Guimarra God Bless him.

Thanks but I would just as well see it gone.

This is for parts or repair the deck needs to be welded the spindle is at an angle. Gear box / drive shaft etc are included. $250 or BRO Can load on truck or trailer 1-518-733-0101

I have a homemade very heavy duty ground driven spreader it was used for lime recently but I don't think i will use it for sand after all. It needs a little TLC but is very heavy duty. I was going to tow it behind my tractor to sand my 1100' driveway here in upstate NY can load on trailer thanks...

over 40 years in the LP business and my .02 is buy local whenever possible. NFPA 58 requires the UG tanks are required to be cathodically protected by anode bags when they are installed underground. The tanks are inspected yearly to make sure the bags are still protecting the buried steel...

thanks I will check that. I have two on the bottom post going to the starter and one on the top post going to the positive side of the batter

Thank you. But it doesn't matter if the purple wire is on the bottom terminal or the top ? The other smaller gauge wire goes to ground at the bracket

I have been having issues with my X300 starting for a year or so. Deal suggested changing the solenoid so $22 later i replaced the old with new MIU125337. There are two large terminals battery to top post then bottom post two wires to starter. The two smaller posts one has a ground wire black...

I have a wall mounted Enerco infrared heater that came with a thermostat and mounting bracket that has heated my two car garage for many years. It heats the mass not the air. I only turn it on when im working in the garage or on the tractor. Propane is way cleaner than kerosene and any heater...

I can mow everything in about 1.5 hours we push mow up near the house. I can snow blow 6" in about 20 minutes. Generally I wait till the storm is over. I also used a blow truck for years but hated the mess. I have a 7' back blade to scrape the slush after the ground is frozen and for weight...

I also live in upstate NY but near the NY/VT/MA border on the Taconic range and we average about 80"-100+ of snow a year. i have lived here 30+ years. My driveway is well maintained gravel about 1100 feet long. I mow about 4 acres of lawn, snow blow the driveway after the snow stops. I do it...

I went from a TW-5 with log lift to a TW-1 with no log lift. I stage the big rounds at table height with the tractor and roll the rounds on to the table. TW-1 I bought used for $1200 and have run 40 cords through it +/-. Cycle time is fast enough so I don't mangle the machine or myself.

Depending on where you are geographically may make a big difference in how much you are going to pay. The basis price Mt B or Conway is higher currently for wet barrels ( September ) than for Jan 2022

I brush hog a 17 acre field twice a year ( mainly tall grass ) with my 2032R and older 5' Ford brush hog. No issues so far. I acquired a barely used BH15 ( 636 lbs) for a fair price and I am trying to decide if I should sell the Ford mower and keep the Bush Hog or sell the Bush Hog. I have never...

I have had both the 3PT splitter ( American ) on a JD 2302R with power beyond and the Timberwolf TW5 with the log lift etc. As I have aged and injured myself splitting wood way too big to handle I went back to a TW-1 with a 4 way removable. I cut the rounds stage them on pallets then place them...

I didn't make this but I recently purchased this after looking for a ground driven sander I can use on my long ( 1200') gravel driveway in upstate NY

I had the same tractor and added a hydraulic top link of my power beyond. I found the correct valve at surpluscenter. com and they were very helpful.

I have access to a JD850 4WD without a loader. Does any one have any experience running a 6 foot rear mount PTO snow blower on that tractor? I am in upstate NY and average 60-88 inches of snow per year. Thanks in advance

most of the gauges can be updated pretty easily if the screws will come out.

I use a Stihl power head with the paddle style power sweep and although tedious and dusty it does a good job on my 1100 foot gravel driveway.

your propane provider has access to cellular monitors that can also send alert when the tank percentage gets to a certain level. And you can buy them for a lot less than $199

wrong number sorry 518-733-0101

I am a long time gasman ( over 42 years ) if you need help and are not getting it locally you can call me in the office 1-518-733-9159 I am in upstate NY.
