Pat: I've known John T for, as he would say, a looooo ooooo ooooo ooooo ooooo ooooo nnnnn nnnnn nnnnn nnnnn nnnnn nnnnggggg ggggg ggggg time, and we'll see if he wants to jump in here and pinch my butt for what I said. He and I have been jabbing each other for the better part of ten years now about any number of things, INCLUDING how he insists on calling his wife his "first wife", and how he would like people to stop by his camper at a tractor show so he could visit and she could cook the hotdogs. I was just jabbing him about how he says this time she will be "in tow" at a tractor show. When you have known him on a personal level like me for ten+ years, then maybe you will understand, but I doubt that since it appears that your sense of humor was removed before the first time you stopped by to pontificate upon those of us who have been hanging around this YTMag forum a several years, while we were helping with our share of tractor repairs and experiences that we nobly shared LONG, and I mean LONG BEFORE you ever stopped by. Yet, YOU see fit to reply to newcomers on this site in front of those of us who have been sharing our websites, written product, photos, and advice, on YTMag for years, WITHOUT THE POSSIBLITY OF SELLING A $19.95 BOOKLET, that many of the posters here are folks who only insist on strutting their stuff even if they don't have anything of real value to contribute. I may now have to take a minute and locate that post. along with some others which I thought ran completely contrary to the intended mission of tractor-fixing that the most of us have tried our best to kindle and develop. If I had to vote, I would say that I deserve to be included in that group. I suggest that you need to take a BIG step back and analyze your self-proclaimed, self-edited, self-promotional, self-indulgent, overtly pontifical, and immensely over-stroked egotistical responses, and ask yourself just what do you really want to accomplish here? Go back and look at some of the posts where you single me out to criticize my answers. I'll give you a few references. You once criticized the method that I used to install an oil pressure gauge in a dash panel. An OIL PRESSURE GAUGE!, because I suggested that an easy way was to install the gauge in the dash, off the tractor, and then attach the line, and then install the dash on the tractor, then connect the line. You said you would NEVER do it that way. No fooling! Even though many of us had evidence that that was the way it was done on the line in Waterloo, because it let you work on the small fasteners behind the dash without using a mirror and three elbows. But you never let yourself get distracted by the facts! Then there was my response to the fellow that he might want to try laying his rusted DLTX carburetor on a bed of hot charcoal to loosen the brass parts stuck fast in it. I even explained that it would heat it evenly, that it would cool evenly, and that then the phosphates in the ash would help lubricate all the joints for easier brass plug. You jumped in to insert to the fellow that I had to be joking. Unfortunately, the young man tryed it and reported the next day that the charcoal grill method worked great, and thanks alot. I guess I should have been sorry that I had enough time on my hands then, too.
Now, my suggestion is to go build you own message board. And since your are flinging shots at johnnypopper.com, everyone here should be reminded that YOUR method of continuing the spirit of cooperation and good cheer on that site was to snipe at people while hiding behind an anonymous "GUEST" handle, until the lead SYSOP outed you by name for it, Now go build your own board where you can drink your own bath water and tell yourself just how darn sharp you really are, and be sure to conver all of the questions, including the diesel ones, with your own, individual stylized line of over-amplified and particularly pedantic line of blow-hard crap and bother someone else with it. You said above that you are in your 70's, which pretty much means that retirement kicked in just about the time that you first showed up at these forums. Ergo, I think YOU are the person who has too much time on their hands.
I'm ok with me and I will not lose sleep because you clearly are not! Frank Boerger
