Engine out front, permanent drive to the front axle, transmission behind axle, 4wd to activate rear wheels when there's a heavy load. My Antonio Carraro tractor has that and when loaded it's really well balanced and all the wheels are carrying load.

Just spotted these - perhaps everyone knows already. Should be longer lived and never need greasing...

Spark arrestor clean was overdue - 100 hours since the last time. First bolt came out easily, second seized after a few easy turns - probably carbon on the thread - so I sheared it off. Might have been smarter to grind the head off and screw it through into the muffler. Fortunately it drilled...

I'm calling in at the Seymour Show this Sunday and think they have a stand there so I'll take a look.

Sheepfarmer - Whitlands is just up the road from me. Thinking about one of their splitters, but they're not cheap..... Huski 372 XP - perfect saw - not too heavy, plenty of power. 900XT

Hi Sheepfarmer I'm using a company based in Dandenong called Ameroz to import a FEL for my JD lawn tractor (!) They sort out documentation, AQIS etc, and when a container is filled with personal imports, they ship it. You might see what they can arrange. If I had my chance again, I'd get my RTV...

RTV Front Diff Play Finally saw the dealer - we're part-time country folks - and got under a brand-new zero hours 900XT and compared the play in the pinion - identical. So I have forty hours and eight months of warranty remaining and meanwhile I can continue to try to locate the clicking noise...

Front Diff Thanks Art - your measurement around 0.01" is what I would have thought normal - the play in mine is over 1/4 inch. 900xt

Front Diff Thank you everyone - I appreciate the suggestions and will report back when I discover/decide what to do. BTW, the 900xt is great. 900xt

Up to now I've enjoyed reading this site. Can I please request some information? I have a new (13 hours now) 900 xt which leads a fairly easy life. After running smoothly, if not quietly, around nine hours it developed a tapping/clicking noise from under the front. It seems as though when the...
