Will you guys fire me?

Seriously the G is a good ole' tractor - love their bark when they're working hard!

IH Rocks!

The JD G is fine.

But dog-gone-it! Still somewhat choked up & watery-eyed over what you had to pay for that 'lil sweetheart Gleaner, tho.

That just had to be the deal of the century! :>)

There are a couple of green guys that make more noise than all the MH guys put together. The result is, I wear two different colored hats. I have both an IH and a Farmall red hat (two hats) I also have a green hat I wear in the presence of Deere guys. My green hat has yellow and red as well. Don't be surprised if I lug home a Super 77 diesel.

I have been noticing that name, Tim from NB, what part of New Brunswick. Don't be afraid to spell out one of those 16 cylinder place names NB is so famous for. I was born in Middle Musquodoboit, NS. See it comes easy.

Only 3 years from eastern Canada-Still an Easterner! You must still come back for visits now and then though.

I know roughly where Westfield is, I've been to Saint John and beyond many times. Your up river about 5 miles if I remember correctly. Used to be a ferry across the river Westfield to Gondola Point. I suppose highway systems have eliminated that one.

You're right about the five miles up for Westfield.

The ferry at Westfield is still there but it crosses to Hardings point! The Westfield side is called Brundage (sp?) point. My Grandfather owned the land at Brundage point at one time. Sold it to the Government to make the warf for the river boats and later the ferry. My sister lives in the old house.

The Gondola point ferry is a different one. It is still there too. The Gondola point ferry crosses the Kennebecassis river to the Kinston Pennisula. I betcha a lot of people have never seen a cable ferry before!!

There are other ferry's that cross the river in different spots that are cable ferry's too.

Now your getting into those 16 cylinder names NB is so famous for. Names like Pennobsquis, Memramcook, Quispamsis, Petitcodiac, just to name a few.

When I moved here I crossed the new double bridge 4 lane crossing just south of Fredricton. That is quite a bridge, they didn't spare many nickles on that one. None of this nonsence crossing the river at 90 degrees. That bridge must be 2 miles long, to cross a 500' river.

I'll say this about New Brunswickers, they may have been one of the last places in North America to get divided 4 lane highways, but they caught onto them quicker than anyone else. A New Brunswicker will come off an on ramp to the highway at 110 Km per hour (70mph) every time, no pussyfooting around getting up speed after he is in traffic.
