    The pto is a clutch driven pulley on the other side of the tractor
    Edit: not really a clutch, but like pucks that engage a steel face with a handle

    I have a few items on shopping list to pick up today. Call the power sports place where I purchased my quad and inquire about ECU if there was a recall per my VIN. I've replaced the front track bar, tie rod ends and connector link with much higher quality pieces, and still have a stabilizer better quality to put on as well. Daughters Jeep.
    Had the Jeep aligned already and she's put a hundred miles on without death wobble issue.

    @tacotoe - for once one of those YouTube ads paid off. The ad started and it was for A Quiet Place 2, I ignored it just like I do all ads then it ended with "now streaming on Paramount Plus". It then occurred to me that I signed up for Paramount Plus for $.99/month for 2 months so for the next handful of days, I can watch it for "free".

    I know what I'm doing tonight!

    I have never worked in the medical field but I've been around numerous surgeons and doctors, not to mention my wife working in a surgery department at the hospital for almost 10 years. She typically uses this comment in relation to medications, but it applies here, too - if it can help, it can harm.

    All medications, both natural and lab created, have side effects. The key is weighing the desired result against those side effects.

    Same goes for surgery. Sometimes, the best course of action is to do nothing. If or when the situation changes, then maybe a different decision will be deemed best. Without knowing all the details it's impossible to say but it has next to nothing to do with anyone not stepping up to the plate.

    Surgeons get paid to cut. If they opt to not, there's a reason.
