Something is really wrong if you're not ready.

I'm ready but not home. It's a good thing I check out the tractor Sunday before I left. The chain came lose on one wheel and the wife would not have been able to use the tractor. Now I can only hope she doesn't flood it. Dave

Nope...not ready hereXX( Was ready.... Then last weekend I took the cab off, and tore the tractor apart to put power steering on it:o) Fixed a bunch of little things I been meaning to fix while it was apart too. Got it together, but have to run it yet tonight after work and hope theres no leaks and everything works. If it checks OK, I'll pitch the cab back on and hopefully be ready by morning. Dealer still hasnt got my chute flap actuator in yet, so I'll have to do without that for the time being.

OK been tooooooo ready for this. Wife works for the post office doing rural delivery, so good year for them so far, not for seat time. Looking to try the "improvements" this year, and see how we do. But how may times can you wax the fiberglass cab top, Armour All the sides, spray the blower with wax, check the oil, and make sure the new lights work, check the gas, and just look at the tractor. As many times as I do projects in the out building. 2-3 times per week. Neighbors drive ways better look out.....plan to make up for some lost time. :p

It's so sad...BUT, I did get a lot of chores done that would have been a PITA if it was snowing and blowing. Now I'm just waitin... We'll see how wrong the weather guru's are. They call for 6-10, but we'll get 2" or 15". Either way, Friday the roads will be swarming with idiots sm00

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
