Jason,

You are most likely to see "operatorless" in tillage operations first (not quite there yet), as they have less inputs to monitor.

Sitting in a combine cab....there is a lot to absorb and provide inputs for.....

Is it Friday already???

.

 

[sblunier]

No, but there certainly doesn't seem to be anything else going on.......

To stay kind-of on-topic, I'm headed home to mow with a Cub Cadet.....

WhoLy Smokes!!!!!!

Jason - no wonder those were so cheap. It says "BLEM" on the sidewall and they only weigh 12# each (according to your shipping data). They must'a left something out!!!!

 

[jwiggins]

I'm Not seeing any blem

I think they are 24lb each!!!

Not where I am. I think Friday comes to Australia first. We have a friend there. Let's see if he's paying attention.

Harry,

Where do you see BLEM anywhere in the picture?

Those are nice tires!

 

[digger]

Back in the day, When the tire was a blem.
They would grind off either TRU or POWER.
They never actually said BLEM.

Jason W, Them's some really nice tires! With the nice work to the rear rims you preformed, you're gonna be in it to win it! Bring on mowing duty!

Cheers!

Jason - hey sorry, I guess it was a confluence of shadows and poor reception on my phone when I was trying to view the Forum pages. Those are nice looking tires. Your UPS shipping ticket does show Weight 24.00 lbs so I would assume that is total.

Jason,
I can't wait to see them on the 149.

I'm sure you're gonna love 'em.

Question: What is the "Normal" diameter of the crank on a Mag 20 engine? Mine measures 1-1/4" where the PTO clutch goes on and it seems everywhere I turn no one has stuff for it? Is this an odd ball sized crank or is it an after market that has been put into the engine?

 

[sblunier]

20hp is 1-1/4, 18hp is 1-1/8......yes larger size is much less common.

Shultzie -

Looks like it might be atleast another week, ugh!!!!


Hydro -

Yes you are Correct!!!
UPS shipping weight 24lb
Apparently my order was split into two separate items!

I was very Excited to receive "tires" Next Day then when only 1 Tire was delivered, I checked order status and seen THIS:

So I immediately checked my card transactions and I've only been charged for one tire so far?

Guess I had to learn the Hard Way, That oLe

Was Right! AGAIN

 

[hydroharry]

Jason - Oh No!!!! I hope the 2nd one matches. These "Not for Highway Service" (NHS) tires are not made to DOT standards and often don't measure up (pun intended). I think the worst I had were Goodyear Turf II. Sidewall said 23x10.5x15 but the tire height was a mere 21 1/2".

 

[jwiggins]

Hydro -

I hope the second one matches also!

.....


Just picked up the 149 seat pan.

So many of the same aftermarket seats out there I kinda wanted to stick w/ original 149 pan.
