Gordon - I'm very sorry to hear about your brother. When you say "full arrest", do you mean cardiac arrest? That's terrible. I'd never heard of ozone doing that to you. I'm glad he's doing better, though.
I was a little concerned when reposting those previous messages that it might be the wrong thing to do. If we all went back and grabbed all of our old messages and reposted them, it would be a huge problem for Muhammad, probably. I remember when the new forum was in the works, I was really hoping he'd be able to bring the messages from the old forum across, but it was too much trouble. But there's still a lot of good stuff there, most of it stuff that's been covered again here but often in a lot less detail.
At any rate, I was hoping there would be enough interest in the original messages that started my "
L4310 Enhancements" thread on the old forum to justify reposting them. We'll see - for now, it seems like you're the only one that noticed they're there.
I think naming the thread "
L4310 Enhancements" was a mistake. I get the feeling that a lot of the folks here think the info isn't applicable unless they own a Kubota, an L-series, or maybe even an
L4310. While that's sort of true with regard to some of the nitty gritty details, most of it is applicable to any type or size tractor, at least in principle. (I mean, I wouldn't recommend putting Michelin XM27 19.5L24 tires on a BX-series, but hey, it might be cool. And even if that size tire won't work, the principles of tread pattern, radial vs. bias, lower inflation pressures, and wider footprint are all transferable.) If I were doing it over again, now that there's a lot more versatility in the forum areas, I'd name it "Tractor Enhancements" and put it in the Tractor Projects area, I guess, though that's more for things you do
with your tractor than things you do
to it. Maybe Tractor Photos would be the place. Anywhere except a brand-specific area.
