I have had enough of the cold already. All this talk about will my tractor start when it gets cold and pushen snow . One of my old good customers called sat. evening and said that his tractor would not start . Well i kept tryen to tell him that i really not doing any outside repair anymore . But he insisted that i come out as he did not want anybody else worken on his tractor . Well since i sold him that tractor about ten years ago and only been there twice since to tune it up , ah what the heck how long does it take to throw in a set of plugs points set the timing . OK i'll come out Sunday morning . Well it was not the 706 that i sold him he went to a new consignment auction and bought a pice of JUNK and let me tell ya the only thing that is good on the tractor is the Sherman and Williams overhaul . And old Ford SELECTO SLUSH that has been mickey moused so bad that i don't even know where to start on the wiring IT will not turn over and i don't know how it even ran for the mile that he drove it home from the sale . Worked on it for two hours tryen to figure out this mess of wires out in and open pole barn with the wind howlen thru and light snow showers flyen around , about froze my fingers off . All the while fighten my way around a micky mouse loader that you would not believe how it is held on . Told him that we are going to have to move it INSIDE AND ADD HEAT if ya want me to get this THING to run. THEN i am think about moven to ARIZONA !!!!! Worken in the cold with out gloves on sure did my hands in , eating pain med today like M&M's hands hurt so bad.

It was in the 80's here this weekend. Unseasonably warm. Arizona is nice, but you can actually farm in California. third party image

I know what you mean. I worked in an open faced pole barn for 15 years on a mud floor. now I have a nice closed concrete floor polebarn and it is so full I am still working outside! Yesterday it was about 60 degrees and not going to get warmer till spring so I drove my M back from the woods 40 miles since it won"t fit on my trailer. About the half way mark the country goes from hill and woods to flat and open fields. The wind was a strong headwind and boy did I get frozen! I noticed the crank pounding so it looks like I will be putting bearings in it out on the tundra this winter. Oh brother!

Vet: I'm with you, sometimes this 40-60 old iron is willing, but seldom is the 60 plus yesr old flesh.
