Yep, it happened, had to make a trip to the E-Room....
Yesterday at about 2 I fell a tree, and for what ever reason, it did NOT want to fall over!! Started beating a wedge into it, and it slid right off the wedge, off the stump, and perfectly onto the bridge of my left foot. Hurt to say the least. I wrangled the tree off of me quite quickly, then did a 1 legged pain dance.
Next, I made poor choice #2 of the day, didn't tell mom and kept on working. Took my boots off at 4:30 and the pain hit instantly. Then I made poor choice #3, decided I could walk it off..... Every step I made it hurt worse and worse to the point I was in tears and couldn't walk. FINALLY made it back in to the house, tripped, and fell on it. That was the final straw.... OFF to the hospital we go!!
Set in the e-room waiting room for over an hour, FINALLY got me in, shot a few x rays, doc looks at it and gives me the all clear! Said I REALLY got lucky, and "only" stretched out a few ligaments/tendons stuff. Hurt REALLY bad last night, got some drugs in me, and today I am walking again! Still kind of sore, but MUCH MUCH MUCH better than it was yesterday...
Onto other news, I decided to go for the swather. I think that it is a good buy on a good machine, and that it will treat me well! Here are 3 pictures of it.
What do you guys think? Like said, the only repairs of know of that need to be made are the push bar being broken off, and the "drive chain" occasionally skipping off... Neither of those sound major to me?! Anyone see any reason I should bail on it?
Thanks! Bryce
Oh, also, can anyone tell me what size tires one of these 990's has on it? I have spare tires I want to take with me, but I don't know if they are 15's or 16's? I have some REALLY nice 10 ply car trailer tires that would look good on it.... :)

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
