Hey there 6N'r! Yeah, I was looking for a new job since last October (got fed up with some of the upper level folks at my old one) and a job in the Ag division of Vermeer opened up out here in Iowa. I took it as a sign to move on to bigger and better things so now instead of tractors, backhoes, and loaders, i'm working on Trailed disc mowers and stuff like that. Same Jeb, same Johnny, just new location and colder weather. I'm still trying to identify the seat hinge that was bolted to the seat I sent you. I have found only one other person who has one like mine. Aparently it was pretty rare and not well marketed...no makers name or anything. As for starting, I can't really jump it as it's in the back of a 12 x 22' storage building. It turns over fine and I get good suction and pressure with my finger in the spark plug hole. Maybe I should buy yet another set of plugs for it. I started with a set of H12's but couldn't get it to crank, so switched to AL437's which are in it now. Still have the H12's. Might not hurt to have a backup set of 437's though. Guess I need to be more proactive at cranking it every month now. I could have sworn I added Sta-Bil to the fuel last tank, but i might have missed a tank. I'll be sure to pick up some more Sta-bil and some Heet when I get the plugs. Jeb
