    I think a lot of those ratings were un-deserved. I have 2009 Chrysler Sebring and a 2009 Jeep Liberty. Neither one has been back to the dealer for anything except scheduled maintenance. If I were to have listened to all the ratings, they should both be in the scrap heap already! As for first year models. That's been 50/50 the first was a 1984 Daytona Turbo Z that had the trans self destruct on I-75 @ 90mph with only 1350 miles, got it fixed and never had another problem with it. The 2nd was a 1st year 1994 Ram 2500 4x4 , nothing ever broke unless I wore it out or broke it, until I sold it with 275,000 miles and 8 years.

    Looks like you have it handled. Wish I had a cab on my tractor. I blow the snow and I wear a lot of it. I you see a Gravely 4 wheel tractor cab for sale let me know. There are lots of old Gravely's in upstate NY.

    :rotf::rotf::rotf: You don't actually think there's any gold in fort knox, Do You ? There were several senators and congressman that tried to get an audit done 5-6 years ago, of the gold reserves, the fed flat out told them NO. What China didn't get, has been pillaged. Our currency is worth no more that the paper it's written on!

    Charlie Sheen 47, is all over the news because he's a celebrity drug addict. ( frankly, I'm sick of hearing about him) Meanwhile, Kristopher J. Gould, 25, Andrew Wilfahrt 31, Brian Tabada 21, Rudolph Hizon 22, Chauncy Mays 25 are all soldiers who gave their lives this week with no media mention. Honor THEM by re-posting this.

    That is what the WBC idiots want. You go there and threaten them and they sue you,that's how they finance themselves. The PGR has found the most effective means of making them a non-issue. I am surprised nobody has taken more drastic measures against them yet. I have faced off against those disgusting people many times,,,they make me sick. Too bad the the families must endure this abuse. Joe, If you go to http://www.patriotguard.org/ you can sign up and find out about missions in your area. You only need to show up with your 3x5 flag and a desire to do the RIGHT THING, pay Honor and Respect to our fallen hero's.

    I.ve had deer do that to me while I was on the snowmobile but, never on the bike. I did hit one deer in Red Lodge last summer, happened so fast I didn't have time to do much. We got lucky, a little damage to the bike but we were ok. The video sure looks real to me.

    The company I retired from blocked access to the internet, we had e-mail. Their policy was, you can't control what comes in, so you could open anything. Trouble started when you would forward anything that violated the ethical policy in place. I saw several people lose their job over some stupid e-mail they forwarded.

    You need to ask, good or bad? That is a great dog! That's how we all hope our canine friends would act under those circumstances. Now my dog couldn't jump high enough to reach the window. He wouldn't bite ya on the way in, but, on the way out...LOOK OUT.... he'll rip the back of your ankles off!

    There are many different grips you can get, one of them should work for you. Gun shows, web stores and your local shop are good places too look. It just takes test fitting to find what works for you. I like single stack in .40 fits me well. When it comes to caliber, BIGGER is better. .38 wheel guns are good on hot days when it's hard to conceal an auto loader.

    Looks alot like my Gravely 816 setup with a 38" 2 stage blower. Mine is of 1974 vintage. Wouldn't trade if for 3 of those new machines. I've rebuilt the engine because it wasn't taken care of by the previous owner. The PTO clutch is getting weak, so, thats gonna get replaced in the spring (if it makes it that long). Don, check out this link, someone close by may have what you need . Until then, it'll make a nice snow plow.

    I had an ice dam form and start leaking into my livingroom overnight, we awoke to find our couch and carpet soaked, and a hole in the drywall ceiling We may get a small ice dam every now and then, but , with all the snow we have had and a little freezing rain, it had blocked the ridge venting on the roof allowing it to create the ice. Just a little reminder to those that have the ridge venting, look at your roof, if you can't see that the ridge vents are clear, you may be next to have this damage inside your home.

    I have the HitchDoc on mine. With the draw bar removed you can't tell there's a hitch installed. I also had a hitchdoc on the Ace Tourer, both are well made and have nice chrome.

    That engine's internals look way to clean for this to be an issue of lack of proper maintainance. Hydro lock... no way and I see no evidence of detonation. It looks to me to be a materials failure. I have to wonder if maybe the piston skirt broke and wedged between the the piston and crank counterweight, causing the rod to fail. If you look at the last 2 pics posted, at the 7 O-clock position you'll see a small break where contact was made, that is what makes me have this suspicion. I think, Mama Yama will step up to the plate on this one.
