Augie, I was raised on a Ford 8N, old Farmall and Gleaner Baldwin combine.

I have an old 8N that I bought about 40 years ago. Step one was hauling it to a tractor mechanic and have the engine overhauled. Next, 4 new tires. It put in a lot of wheat patches and repaired some roads.

Then about 20 years ago, I bought a new 40 hp 4WD JD. And parked the Ford. It hasn’t moved since. I need my butt kicked for that.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
