      They are South of Seattle in Kalama, but it appears that they are more interested in talking to investors.

      But then there's the tractor website.

        Larry,

        David and his “mechanic on the other side of town” probably never got past second grade, which I guess is okay because they have survived this long. But in the real world where ignorance is little tolerated, they would undoubtedly stumble. You are making them look like “deer in the headlights”. They don't want to hear that stuff. Ignorance is bliss.

          How about a back-up camera or two? They are inexpensive.

            Like I said, time will tell.

              I agree with Spring Valley Larry, although I've seen a few “almost loose” installations.

              Congratulations,

              Time will tell if it is now unbalanced by hammering out the rear main bearing and breaking the crankshaft at the harmonic balancer (that weird looking pulley on the front of the engine).

              What is usually done in cases like yours is to, after the ring gear is installed, pour anaerobic compound around the interface of the two components, as this pretty much guarantees concentricity and reduces the risk of knocking out a starter pinion.

              There are reasons ring gears are fitted that way and not bolted or tack-stitch welded.

                I have four or five HF top links of various lengths. You can't tell them from the other brands, which are made in China too, and probably roll right off the same line. I have had no need for any of them since I installed a hydraulic top link which is infinitely adjustable right from the seat.

                cool

                  Does your son have a job?

                  I see a new alternator, voltage regulator, and battery in your future. Very rarely can polarity reversal of a battery be corrected.

                  Things to check are all of the battery connections, including the ground to frame, positive cable at the solenoid, and all wiring harness connectors. Once you get all your new parts installed we can continue.
