Re: Original Starting Problem
Sounds like a possible bad VR. Or a bad battery to VR wire. With the engine off check for battery voltage at the B terminal on the regulator. Also make sure the wiring on the start button is correct. You should have the positive battery lead on one side and a lead from that terminal to the B termina...

Re: Original with big ags...
Try ME Miller tire. They list a bunch of ag tires and if you don't see it call. They probably have something there. I know folks have bought 16" ags from them for Power King tractors.

Re: Pto rpm
Well when it's OFF it should be 0..
When it's on it should run 2000 rpm. BUT you want to be careful what you try to run off it. I have heard that the rear shaft coming out of the hydro likes to break if the PTO gets a severe shock loading.

Re: Thank you Santa !!
Bryan, I have a Sims cab on the Cyclops already. The cab I have doesn't have the steel doors though. The current doors are sitting in the front room of the house warming up so I can replace the velcro and sew in a replacement window. I was thinking that a new cab could be designed to my specs.

Re: Thank you Santa !!
How much?
I'd love something like that for the cyclops. Probably add lights and have glass cut for all the windows.
Wish I had a super with a water cooled engine. Would be nice to have better heat in the winter. Course then I'd want a stereo......

M&W made a lot of stuff from the 40's and up. I think they are now under the Alamo group.
The problem is determining which M&W ag company they really meant.

Re: SGT questions
The larger deck is one reason. Also the length allows for better balance of the tractor with the larger tires and wider stance. Makes it more stable. It also makes it more comfortable to run for some folks.

The weird thing is they still call out to the same part number, but are not really interchangeable. The only real change is the location where they welded the backer washer to the spindle.

Re: Super Garden Tractor Lowering Kit for 451 blower
Here is a quick drawing of the plate. Holes are symmetrical so the dimensions work for all 4 holes.
The 4 " is the finished height so I would probably make the bend first, or make a test part and see what the offset allowance would be.
