Welcome to the forum. Do you have any boat marina's around you? Many have a "canvas guy" that drives around and makes custom (exact to fit) covers for boats. A friend of mine does this and he said it would be no problem making a custom cover for most anything. Canvas covered with aluminum frame.

Snowblower? Don't know as I don't have one.

Welcome to the forum! Messick's has it for under $20. Great place to do business. https://www.messicks.com/parts/yanmar/2705005

Welcome to the forum! What enticed you to join? What equipment do you have?

Battery is good? This has happened to me a few times. On all occasions, it was the battery cables. They corrode internally (so you can't see it) but they can carry enough volts to give you lights but no amps to start the tractor.

Do you have any boat shops/marinas around you? There's companies that come around driving a truck/trailer to boat places that make various types of boat covers. If you could hook up with one of those companies, I'm sure they could make something for you (with windows, zipper-up doors...).

Weren't they made somewhere in a former USSR country? Are they still in business? Can you get parts?

That's a name I haven't heard in decades.

Welcome to the forum. Gas or diesel? If gas, did you check the float to make sure it's not stuck? Has the tractor been sitting for a long period? Funny on your timing. I'm working on a generator right now that's been sitting and wouldn't start. Cleaned the fuel system but it still wouldn't...

If/when you ever go to sell it, you may have to disclose that you did it or you assume liability if there's an injury. Around here, dealers won't take in tractors that have had their ROPS tampered with.

When you lifted the front and back to determine if 4WD was working, were both rear tires rotating? In the same direction? To test diff lock, lift it again, engage diff lock and confirm both rear tires are moving in the same direction, at the same speed. Yea, it sounds like you have an...

I mounted a light under the bed pointing rearwards. Ran the wire to the cab area and mounted the switch in the gap/area near the drivers left hip.

Can't help you with that one. Did you look at the brackets to see if they match or at least similar? I'd go to the JD parts diagrams and see if they match. https://partscatalog.deere.com/jdrc/

Tractor mfgrs are in cahoots with the lumber, garage door and trim makers to make sure they get $$$ from all of us hitting the garages. :) Actually, I think it has to do with the height and structure at the front of the hood (in case of rollover). Imagine a line from the top of the ROPS to the...

My woodshed is across a creek that's hard to cross in the winter. I built a small pole building on the house side of the creek earlier this year. Spent a couple hours yesterday loading it with firewood. Will finish stocking it up today. Oh, the RTV wasn't used. I can haul more with an ATV...

You're going to cut the ROPS off??? Not good by most standards. Remove it... OK if you have to, cut it off, no good.

I love backpack blowers but not on anything that has fins (e.g. A/C, Heat Pump, radiator...). I've bent the fins so that's no longer a place for that machine.

We just finished a mid-west trip. Flew into New Orleans then criss-crossed our way all the way up to MN. 2500 miles and 11 States. Last month we went out west and hit all the major National Parks and points of interest in CA, OR and NV which was another 2500 miles.

We're going to hit all the main military museums and sites (as well as other places of interest), from Huntsville down to the coast. We're going to cruise along the coast from approx. Mobile over to Apalachicola. We have a place on the east coast of FL, pretty close to Daytona so we're familiar...

I'd take that as a bonus! If you have to hop off the tractor while brush hogging to pick up a log, you don't have to shut the whole thing down. Also handy when running a post hole digger.
