Problem with a lot of visors is that they fog over quite often so drivers will leave em up a bit just to see where they are going, pulling indoors makes it worse with the overhead lighting glaring off the visor! yes it is safer to have them down but not seeing where you are going is a tadd dangerous too?

I have seen hydraulic steering that used a hyd. motor in place of the usual orbit control,had header tank above the steering wheel motor to keep the system full of oil.manual but it seem to work! also know of a tractor or two that uses the diesel fuel pressure from before the injection pump to give them power steering!

May I suggest that it may be time to require every one to register with an valid email address in order to post here? seems that we have more then likely one pathetic example of humanity who continues to spew hatred to the world! His old man would have done the world a service if he had a shot that one in to the sheets when thought about increasing his family!

To start I have no idea how outlaw pulling is set up? but if you are so cranked about the executive and think you can do better start your own group, but oh ya that would require you to put time and effort into it! much easier to expect places to pull every weekend and just show up! like jezz.. you wont even put the effort into posting your name with your rants! i'm outa here..

Enough with the negativity here,I invite every one to reflect on the good things and memorial moments of the last year! I personally can't wait for this year to end and start the new year on a clean slate! life is too fragile to hold a grudge against someone so I have tried to give everyone that second chance. will always remember the faces of all the kids that I had the fortune to talk to t

I had the same thought, used it in spraying more the 30 years ago but why would that stuff be specified for water injection? if this is true,it looks like some groups have to be dragged into this century! i hope others may enlighten me a little on this subject. thanks!!

Many moons ago in my dark early years of brush pulling I played with 37% peroxide as a suitable water replacement,wild stuff- would pretty much twist off the compressor wheel when activated, even completely imploded some turbos! only problem it would not only eat most plastics and not to mention your hands, it caused severe internal rusting in the engine even on oil soaked steel! gave it up and w

Kind of makes one feel for the bad boyz toy team, After being profiled in their shop every episode only to do terrible on the track-credibility starts to suffer? like 8 points after 8 events , one hopes their luck will improve shortly! still enjoy each show though! breaks up the winter a bit!

Your NH parts counter-order spider gears,cross shaft and needles for an 8670. just have to make up bushings to space shaft in carrier. I know this works in 8600 but you might have to call Forresters in Pen. to verify the 8000 rearend. good luck.

If the coolant they sell you has a problem with algae, I would say find a better supplier! ask any machinist what their reaction would be if their slideways started rusting-not a pretty scene! care to share your secrets?

gee your tractor must warm up at phenomenal rate? most of us have to run the engine for 10-15 min. or more just to get im up to temp! thus said pump is also turning. besides using a good soluble oil prevents your straight water from going green-algae and keeps any steel fittings from rusting! just my .02!

common sense would say put a rollbar on then good seatbelts! that said , hoping to be thrown clear from a tractor upset is a very poor bet that you will unwillingly most likely lose with possible fatal consequences ! personally I found that out the hard way while piloting an 275 Mccormick at a tender age of 12.had 2 months in hospital to figure out what went wrong. decided that was one performanc

first of all when you say heat treated! what process is used and to what grade of heat treat is it returned to ? t5,t6 etc. aluminum will work harden but that can be difficult to measure ! if your builder says ya I heat treat them but doesn't back that claim with evidence then it's only talk! just my two cents now fire away!
