Hey, thanks for asking, I went to Jackson Friday and looked at Kubotas and Mahindras again, I'm pretty sure I will go with a Mahindra model 3215 four wheel drive 32 HP, I'm just trying to decide now if I want to get a frontend loader or not, I went over to Franklinton today, and looked some more while they were closed, so I could look and sit, etc without anyone bothering me. I beleive I have made up my mind on the tractor , still not sure about the loader.

If you are thinking about it and don't do it you will regret it. I wanted the same tractor that you are looking at with the loader. I didn't get it because they would have had to order it. I got the 35 horse because I didnt want to wait. Now I wish that I would have waited because I could have used the loader 100's of times.

Hey guys, is there anything special required/needed to buy/sell a truck that is claimed 'totaled' by the insurance company with deplyed air bags.
I'm thinking of buying a friends truck that just got totaled after he buys it back from the insurance company.
I'll fix some of it and sell it to make a little money if there isn't anything to involved.
Thanks for any advice.

Well, I changed the cable (stater to switch/solenoid), but it's still not starting.
It doesn't do anything now.
Just a tick when I turn the key...(it was doing that right before I changed the wire too).
I cleaned up the ground real good, replaced all the cables except for the negative battery cable(it looks fairly new anyway).
It's got to be electrical. It seems like it's the Neutral Safety Switch (similar problem I had before), but for all I know it's the ignition switch or ignition module (brain box) or solenoid (even though I don't think it is, but it might not be grounded good).... I hate electrical.
I'd rather pull the engine and rebuilt it instead of chaceing down electrical gremlins.
I'm back in Baton Rouge, so I won't get to mess with it for another week.
