Thank you.

still no luck. I'm trying to locate a salvage yard bobtach now

OK where are the plugs ? The light for the aux isn't lit up on the dash. I don't know what a stem valve or the spool is. I mean I may, just not familiar with the term.

Yes, They have a 1" allen head plug in the block

I couldn't find a website for them ?

Bumping this to the top. Boom down feature is painfully slow still and sometimes sticks in the down position. I checked and rechecked for an obstruction and nothing. All other pedal functions work as they should.

This condition worsened to the point I had to take it to Deere. It developed a problem of the control levers going full forward and choking the engine when you set the brake. That along with the knock getting so bad 2-3 other employee's came to me wanting to know what the deal was. Took it to...

When I called today the guy at NAPA told me they just went by the KAT'S factory and picked them up ther when they needed one. I had to have a 1" x 3/4" reducer bushing but other than that I may have lost a pint of coolant and all is good. Thank You, Chris

What about "Kat's" heaters ? Kat's has a factory here. There are even magnetic heaters on the site. Gives me an idea for heating my trans on my Duramax.

I can't find them for sale online. Do I have to call and order from them ?

Sounds like when the axle seals went out in our S185

No chance on the tarp and space heater here. When it's needed for snow removal the Landscaper woman uses it and she does good some days to remember to breathe :-(

Seen a new thread on an S185 and reminded me. Our JD 240 won't even think about starting when its below freezing; I was under the impression it had glow plugs but it still won't hardly even turn over more than a few times. I haven't seen a plug for a heater so I assume they're not all factory...

I used some "SIERRA" PG coolant . They had it at my local NAPA.
