Wardner said: (quoted from post at 10:48:06 10/27/09) It does seem unusual that he never mentioned his illness. His last post was on 13 Oct 09, ten days before his passing. I can understand that he would not want to turn this forum into the Hugh MacKay Death Watch Board but it would have been nice for all of us to say goodbye. And it would have lifted his spirits in the last few days.

He had the 130 half-torn apart when he died in order to replace the front crank seal. This is the tractor we use to plow snow.

It was weird and funny to find his advice archived here. What a great thing!
