        Hi Bob. Actually it did tear the clear cover pretty bad, but I was planning on changing it this year anyway, the black webbed stuff is the shade cloth, and it's alright. Almost every bow split at the center about 75% of the way around. The bows are 1 5/8″, I could sleeve them with about 6″ sections of 1 3/4 and weld them onhmmm. This proves that this was the most snow we've had at one time in the last 13 years, that's when I put the greenhouse up. At least I'm not alone. Misery loves company, and there are many, many greenhouses around here that met the same fate. Worst case scenario, I make a jig for my truck to haul 7 of these bows over from the valley. That would weigh 300# and set me back $305.00 plus gas.

          The closest I've been to needing the horn was a few weeks back. We had over two feet of snow overnight and there were three of us neighbors on tractors running around plowing driveways.laugh Here's what the snow did to my greenhouse:yell

            They are one way acting only, so you could use them for a dump trailer. You would adjust the knob under the seat to divert the three point lift control to the pressure side of these connectors and use it to lift. Hit lower and gravity will drain the dump ram back into the tank via the connector on the left. That is my understandinghmmm, if I don't know what the heck I'm talking about someone please speak uproflmaoroflmaoroflmao

                Come to think of it I believe you're right David embarassed, but I didn't get to use it. The system is not charging. The reason I had to throw the big charger on to start it every time is I was always in too big of a hurry to give it a full charge. With the small “smart” charger I was able to bring it up to 90% before I could wait no more and it seems to be holding the charge. Just sitting the battery reads 12 volts. With the small charger set at 4 amps charge the battery reads 13.8 volts. With the tractor running the battery reads 12 volts. If I can get home while there's still daylight I will pull the alternator off and take it to the starter/alt shop across from my store tomorrow and post the results.

                  I'm having the same problem, I've had to charge it to start the last few times. I will disconnect the battery, check the cells and charge today, and start there. My meter has a clamp on inductive pickup I finally have a reason to use once I get it up and runninglaugh

                    Well this is interesting. We got dumped on big time last night, 26″ in 12 hours. After digging my way to the tractor and dealing with an uncooperative starter the steering worked just fine. It's like it needed it to be 17 out to work. Any thoughts?hmmm I'm not complaining mind you, I used the loader to clear 200' of driveway so I could move a car, a trailer and a truck. In the morning I'll search for the back blade that angles and finish my driveway and do the neighbors.

                      dogdoc, some do and some don't. Easy enough to spot though. If you have two pumps you have two pumps, one right in front of the other, and a 1 liter (roughly) reservoir in front of the radiator. Here's a pic…
