I finaly decided to get at this job after putting it off for some time.I want to thank you guy's who post your ideas and solutions to these problems.I for one read all of them along with the advise you's give to others.

Well I filled the old smoker up with some fuel, checked all the things to check before starting, and rolled out of the shop and mowed the yard. WOW! I'm in heaven. :biggrin2: Pure enjoyment. At "full throttle", for you william, :) LOL, I am amazed at the power this thing has. I can see now why everyone wants a diesel. It actually felt like too much to be mowing with running those RPM's up like that. The only thing I did notice was that the front screen on the radiator did get pretty clogged up and the temps crept just above the last line before getting to the "H". It didn't get any higher. Starting out mowing for the first hour it would pretty much stay right at the middle line or 12 o'clock position. The air hose at the end of the day cleaned it up real good. I may have to do half the yard and then do a screen cleaning then finish the rest of the yard. It is bad dusty and dry here right now. I would say normal type of grass should pose no problems.

Glad you enjoyed your first mowing. Yeah if that screen gets clogged it'll kind of suffocate the engine area. It's amazing how some blocked air can affect the temps like that.

That's great, DWayne! Mind if I come up, and give the diesel a try? :biggrin2:

Allen, your welcome to come stay as long as you want and play :biggrin2:

I probably need to get the stuff to get the plow on it so you can have more fun, LOL.

Sounds good to me, DWayne! I do have an aunt in Louisville! :ThumbsUp:

DWayne you need your own pit crew NASCAR style!

Disclaimer I live in the heart of NASCAR country so I'm a bit one sided on the type of racing I watch.:biggrin2:

Now that would be great.

Are you sure it is one sided or maybe one turn type of racing? lol left, left, left, left......

That would be funny but they running road course this weekend!:biggrin2: And we all know NASCAR don't allow GPS just for the left, left, left remarks.:biggrin2:
