Beginning of this month, my long time friend/dairyman, was hospitalized, he needed me to show the spray applicator guy all the fields, in a rush, thinking he was on the hourly clock or some darned thing, I jump in my little car, and head out to the fields across the state road and up a secondary road, to where we used the edge of the oat field to get to the corn, 2 tracks, oats in the middle. In that middle aisle of oats was a nice round rock, bent the sway bar, cross brace, separated the exhaust at the flange, and cause I figured if I backed up it would catch or do more damage, I went forward and put a basket ball size dent in the gas tank, the gauge went from less than 1/2 to overfull !!! I figure at least $500 damage and I could have just taken his truck, thing is when he's not there, I just don't like touching anything unless he knows, just the way I am. It's no problem to borrow a tractor or use the truck, he knows I'm careful, etc., just I don't like doing it unless he knows 1st, which is always the case cause he's there. I had to take the 3/4 chevy and go back to the same fields and in about the same spot a brake line or wheel cylinder ruptured, lost the fluid and the rear brakes, but at least I finished out the day.
That thing with pulling trees over, it's hard to judge the actual height and any extra it will travel, next time I'm sure you'll use more chain !

I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
