SupporterYeah, I was thinking just run the battery. I wonder if i"ll ever get around ot it. I'll need to rewire the tractor and pull a single wire alternator from one of my old cars first (I'd just fab up a mounting bracket).
I can get away with not charging the battery just by putting the battery on the charger whenever I think of it .............. the problem is I keep forgetting

I have one on the roof of the tractor shed (5W) and it plugs into the tractor when I park it, No longer ever have a flat battery even if it is six months since I used the tractor, and it makes the battery last years longer.

Supporteryou can buy 'vac pumps and a manifold/gauge set inexpensively these days and fix/repair the A/C with bang gas (hychill -30). If you find something major has a small leak, you just throw another $10 of gas in it each year and don't worry about itIf it lasts 4months before leaking away, that is all you need each year down south.

SubscriberI'm pretty sure of the problem, the rats decided the hoses tasted nice, hope the little buggers choked on the R134. I have contemplated doing it myself with Hychill but at the end of the day the bloke down the street is reasonably priced and does a good job.

Supporterits only really worth doing this stuff if you enjoy tinkering. A/C is one of those things that can cost a fortune depending on what needs to be replaced. at least on a tractor ... acess to everything should be easy!

I keep coming back to this and thinkign ........ NEED NEW STEERING WHEEL !!! Look how amazing that is. A new wheel for my tractor is only $60 including delivery. What puts me off is this.
This is my issue though .... I'm guessing water can sit in the wheel hub indefinitely
The problem isn't what it looks like... its the fact the bloody thing bites me all the time (the bits of broken plastic move around and pinch you).
Someone posted on facebook a picture of there range rover classic steering wheel wrapped with paracord.... hmmm....
so I taped all of the broken bits together
and wrapped the thing. It would take some practice to wrap around the spokes neatly. Fortunately I don't care about "neat". I want functional and no more blood blisters on my hands
seeya,
Shane L.
