No worries, Leroy! It's Dennis' contact who still hasn't touched my precups that I'm beginning to wonder about. Ample time to receive your orders because of it. I'll give Dennis a call Friday if I haven't gotten an ETA from his guy by then as I requested- maybe he can give him a bit of...

Just an update, I should have all the goodies from Leroy before the weekend! But the precups are still MIA. I reached out to Dennis' contact and he still doesn't know when he's going to get access to the machine to do the milling at his work. Been a few weeks now and hope it's not going to be...

Precups have arrived at Dennis' contact for machine work. Aside from the slew of random stuff from Will's RockAuto heads up that I ordered (including the Fel-Pro head gaskets), I just also ordered from Leroy... Gapless ring set Bosch injector set AC Delco glow plugs ARP head studs Timing chain...

That would have been cool, except there's been no truth to the climate data that's been monkeyed with by NOAA and various other special interest groups and Departments of Making Me Sad. Would have been a shame about all the Redwoods and Sequoias though if so... maybe they could be salvaged to...

Me either, but at prices like these, hey Add To Cart! I think half my order was like that... spares for the shelf. (I'll detail out what I actually use on the Optimizer later this month in my other thread)

Cheers- massive order placed.

Love it. Yeah, believe me, growing up in West Texas it infuriates everyone in the industry that there's no infrastructure to capture byproduct natgas and pipe it somewhere. There are just so many wells, imagine the impossibility of running dozens or hundreds of miles of pipe - per well - to a...

Effing seat switch with the ditches... yes. Disabling that this weekend before I mow again. I probably look like a crazy guy moving my arms and legs about to maintain weight on the seat while trying to continue forward momentum, especially if I've left the deck too low, get stuck on the...

I should have figured you'd done something similar at least! Yeah I'm reading it's more an additive than a pure conversion, interesting how that'd work. I think the guy in that link says 30mpg around town is doable. The nearest LNG station for me is 20 mi. away, but actually kinda on my commute...

Disclaimer: I work for a natural gas company. Yes, things are really sucking right now but hopefully turning a corner in the next year (but cheers to cheap bills at home). I love the idea of having a refueling station at my ranch someday. While that equipment in of itself is a whole other...

Many thanks, Will- I may be stocking up here at least on some spares... very timely.

Man, I don't think I subscribed to this thread and a year later am reading these replies since my last one here- thanks, all. Totally forgot about the thread, and haven't done a thing yet. It's still on my list but a lower priority now, will figure out a frame-mount when the time comes perhaps...

Well... too late now! :P I didn't get to that step when the same thing was advised to me late last year, but thank you. I just figured, 'eff it, I don't trust this thing to take my family to the Ozarks to camp and back until I get a new motor'. Granted, if it had a lot less than the 280k miles...

Good tips, especially that bungee idea. I will typically lift the deflector with the tip of my boot to let it 'air out' when needed, but out in the open it really should be open. Rigging that up this wknd... Alright! Time to hit up the guns forum next.

I never did confirm for sure, but it sure sounds like bad rod knock and lethal. Never being comfortable travelling long distances (especially with my family) on the stock motor @ 280k, I just decided to decommission it and started looking for a new mill.

Thanks, yeah it would come in handy for a lot more around the ranch, like stretching fence wire with (re: recent fencing efforts), moving dirt around for gardening, dragging heavy stuff, etc. I have a 2007-ish JD LA140 with a 22hp Kohler aircooled V-twin gasser and 48" deck. It's enough...

Thanks, guys. It's probably best to just clean and balance the existing injectors for now (another 10-20k mi), and do the gapless rings it sounds like. Where's best to have the squirters sent off if my shop can't do it? EngineTech is what Leroy recommended, but I know a lot of you guys run...

Outstanding suggestion, and I should have mentioned that we just did this. As of a couple weeks ago, we became alpaca ranchers. I have 10 boys grazing in the back pasture now (alpacas are effing awesome), and I'm making plans to get the fencing shored up to let them graze most of the rest by...

Awesome, didn't even know this area of TTS existed. Great seeing others enjoying mowing pasture like I do... except it's with a little JD I got off Craigslist with a 48" deck. It takes nearly a full day every 2 weeks to mow my property (4 acres, 3 is pasture, all flat, natural grassy/weedy)...

Here's the latest for my list of updates, and it's looking like most of a rebuild on a longblock with only 10-40k on it... please advise on brands, etc! New Injectors (BOSCH?) New glow plugs (BOSCH? low profile?) ARP studs New cam bearings (brand?) Check camshaft for wear, pitting Check...
