And John F, if you'd like to experience a forum of tractor lovers right along the lines PondBoss forum is for pond lovers, take a look at tractorbynet.com.
It's another civil, experienced, responsive group of people like ourselves only with all things tractor on the brain. There are wonderful threads on DIY fabricating, snow plowing, how stuff works, repairs, on and on.
I recommend the tractorbynet.com forum to any and all who are interested in these kinds of things.
