Mitsubishi sold the rights to the MT180 to a company in India, VST Shakti, who've been making them for long enough that used ones are for sale -- in India. None of them and no parts for them are exported to the US though. I have no idea how much has been redesigned. My new front tires did come from India though and the tubes that came with them were "Made for Firestone" in China.
Block heater looked to have had some sort of rubber like gasket molded to the metal but was mostly gone. I went and grabbed some red RTV high temp silicone and used that to reinstall. As long as I didn't knock too much of it off working in that tight little spot, it should be good to go.
For the radiator that Alumaseal copy cat stuff I got worked for a while, I might get some NOS genuine Alumaseal from ebay and try that for now and fix it proper later this year. It's a powder/flakes so NOS(New Old Stock) ought to still be good.
Yesterday morning before starting on the front tractor rims, I did some scraping in the shop using a concrete pull tool, basically a 2 foot wide hoe. Judging by the piles, I can easily fill my two 32 gallon trash barrels. I'm going to screen it to start so I get powder/granules and I have one of the lawn spreaders that drop stuff straight down instead of the rotary type.
I'll be able to drop manure right down a bed and only the bed.
Went to Walmart/Aldi the other day and saw the place I got my compost from last time and realized I have an 8 foot bed now. A single trip will be plenty.
Four ten hour days at work plus two 8 hour working days at home. Aside from putting water in the tractor to see if my silicone holds, I'm resting tomorrow. Of course that means house chores.
