light vehicle towbars are rated to whatever the manufacturer/sticker says, so uhh

Might need to tell the ECU you've changed the oil? So it knows where its starting point/level is? I have 0 experience of these, but is it possible that there is some kind of calculated counter, like what the ECU thinks the theoretical oil viscosity might be, after XX number of regens & driving conditions? Some kind of counter, relearn, or reset required? Again, just theorizing.

2hr race is wild. A+ for beating off the competition. Can you get all the yachts to make nice colourful lines on the boat tracker so it looks like Americas cup or something?

Surely a 100% misfire like that can only be a sad/blocked injector on #1. You only had the intake off right? I feel like you'd notice the REH RUUH RUUH RUUH RUUH REH RUUH RUUH RUUH RUUH REH of 1/5 lungs being leaky. Got a diesel compression tester you can borrow? Or swap an injector to a different hole and see if the middle follows -

Electrical nerds (title given in the nicest way possible), @h4nd ? Got a CDI/gearbox brain from a quad bike that blows fuses when it's plugged in. Previous owner said it was cooking batteries/over charging. My belief is that this magic box has suffered from too many volts. Back half of the box is sealed up in a slightly squishy (silicon?) manner. Best way to expose it's guts? Craft knife? Dremel? Solvents? I'm hoping for something obvious in there, but have to get it open first. -

It's sick. Can I assume you've looked into knobbly options in that tyre size? Got me looking at mobility scooters again. -
I believe so. Haven't moved in my lifetime.

Fingers crossed that'll get you rolling! (I think) We have 7 sitting around looking terrible. Maybe 9 if you count the 2 earlier ones. Stop while you can

I was thinking the other day about the PTOs on that era major, and how they're essentially locked to the gearbox input when engaged. I dunno what kind of rotating mass your mower has, but there are PTO shafts you can get with sprag clutches built in. Helps to avoid you disengaging the clutch, and the spinning mower saying no fuck you we're going to keep driving forward for a while. I'm told the 'live' PTO and hydraulics on the later majors was a nice thing.

New rear tyres will exceed it's value sadly... What are the tyres like on your other one?

I'm sure they'd rather wait 10 mins for you to turn up at your own pace, over waiting 30 mins, go looking, and find you in a ditch. I find it impossible not to get carried away just about at times. I'm jealous that you're getting out so often!
