Any NASCAR fans?

As a mechanic, I've found tire goo to really cause issues trying to hold a patch, not to mention the extra work to clean the stuff off everything. I agree with plugs, but they are a leak looking for a place to happen and should be repaired. Of course I've had a plug in mine all winter, but I...

Same here. I use it a lot. Kind of a pain in the rear to have to hold on to it. Also would like to relocate it somewhere on the dash, like aircraft throttles.

About 6 hrs of sunlight and a couple hrs of civil twilight depending on cloud cover.

The wiper is a pain. Constantly turning it on and off. Mama gets the short end of the stick as far as window coverage goes. She's a chronic "back seat driver" so the less she see's, the less she has to gripe about.

Yes sir, Kubota orange. 2015. Love the thing for what I do.

Is it a X1100C ?

Different pistons. In the early years, when Cummins was turbocharging naturally aspirated engines, they changed to turbo pistons to lower compression ratios. Also piston coolers were being added at the same time, which required different pistons. After-cooling was added later, which become the...

There's more to turbocharging than just bolting one on. Compression ratios, after cooling, fuel settings, ect. I would love to get a few more ponies out my 1100, but not at the expense of engine reliability. A simple liter/HP ratio comparison with very dependable turbo engines say there is safe...

No. The receiver is part of the frame.

Yes they do.

I got a quote on Kubota's v-plow when I bought my 1100C and I believe it included K-Connect. Close to 7 grand. Boss was 5 grand with some extra lighting. These are Fairbanks Alaska prices. Boss's quality is much better. The electrically run pump seems to work well on pickup trucks so I'm sure...

Search for "Kubota V Plow" thread on this site. Answers all your questions. Tried to link it and failed. Maybe some guru here can provide the link. I looked at the Kubota v-plow and found it to be more expensive and not near as well built as the Boss. I'm going with Boss at this point. Kubota...

He's a former Alaskan. Being little "out there" is normal for us. The question is...Do you have to be somewhat crazy to live in Alaska, or does living in Alaska cause a person to be somewhat crazy??

From a guy that wears Carhartt bibs to church, steel wheels!!

A must have. Much better power control. Pull hand throttle wide open and then ease into the hydrostat with the foot feed. Very nice when going through deep snow.

Two things in Alaska I try not to pizz off. Grizzle bears and Mama. If the sled idea goes south, my only hope for survival would be making a run for Russia.

Ok, now the gloves come off. You, of all people, know better than mess with old farts. Especially old farts with frosty butts. Makes us cranky. Gonna throw that door wide open, the hell with the collateral damage. :boxing:
