- International 1066 Full sized JCB Loader/Backhoe and a John Deere 430 to mow with
I need a 1/2" coarse thread stud to attach the hydraulically powered mower (15') to the speed increaser that is mounted to the PTO.
Went to my local "we have everything" store...and indeed, they had what I needed. Curious, the owner asked what's it for? (he's thinking automobile) I said to attach said mower to my tractor.
"ahhhhh.... what kind of tractor do you have"
"an old international"
"you know.... nothing runs like a Deere" he ribbed with a smile on his face.
(so I apparently walked into a den of Deere owners, which is fine by me.....bunch of nice chaps)
So I said
"The Deere HAS to run..... to get away from the International"
He just shut up. lol. All was in good jest on both sides and I DID let them know that I also have a Deere lawn mower and a Deere Gator. That might have calmed them down a bit and let me know I wasn't as bad as I might have acted.
