LikeI said...they people here are NOT neighborly. I can't imagine myself driving by an abandoned car for a week and seeing what looked like a dead animal.

At least notice the empty home or barking dogs or something wrong!

I'm still waiting for SF to return my phone-tag calls. This rep sure isn't in any hurry :thumbsdown:

a single, older person, whose kids are far away should move to a friendly area, where you are now, the neighbors don't care about you, you may need to cry out for help sometime, and just die in pain, because your neighbors don't care!.. maybe people in hot climates get weird, since I've never heard of unfriendly neighbors on the northeast coast!..

Hey there "judy"
So glad the MF is out of trouble. You definitely take good care of it as evidenced by the photos of it and your truck. Photos of rear tire do not indicate a brine leak. Get the tire pumped up and it should be good to go. Rotate it so that the valve stem is at the top, and as others pointed out...let a little air pressure out first to 'bleed' brine from the valve stem before adding air. As for the shed: photos show that it was clearly only built as a sun/rain shelter. No real thought was put into it for any type of loading. If you were interested in saving/resurrecting it, I would strongly suggest getting some competent help...possibly someone known from a local building supply or the like. However, do not do anything to it until advised by your insurance adjuster...not knowing your deductible, it may be a moot point. Best of wishes and enjoy your horses, tractor, and truck.
Its generally recommended that you put a quick blip of air into the valve stem first, that way you push the liquid out of the valvestem and only have air left to come out into your gauge (important if the fluid is over the top of rim).

Anyone we know? lol

Went out to blow my thousand foot driveway on the weekend and found someone had blown out my entrance and mailbox. Not completely sure who, just a guess. Gives one a warm fuzzy feeling.

Most times I will take the time to clean the neighbor's drive near the road. His snow equipment (excavator business) includes plow trucks and a 644 end loader with a plow. My smaller tractor and toolcat just works better out by the road and maneuvering around. This way he can quickly plow his long drive without having to be in the road much. If I'm ever buried in 10 feet of snow, I'm sure he would be helping me out with that big Deere 644. :thumbsup: It is just part of being "neighborly". :drink:

644, NICE machine!

I just wonder, because this guy is out to make money doing various properties. Where or how would you draw the line as to who gets it FREE and who has to pay?

As a76 yr. old widower of 30 years, I wouldn't mind having a single lady nearby in need of assistance.

Sorry. When we think of New York City, we just say New York, forgetting about the state. I go to Niagara Falls to pick stuff up and never really think I am going to New York!

Did he clip the walls of that outbuilding behind him a few times....or did somebody leave their level in the tool box that day it got built?
What is that?

I haven't read the whole thread, for all I know you may have already "solved" this.
My 2/5 of a nickle;

LEAVE IT ALONE !
It is the insurance company's problem and ANYTHING you do that worsens the situation will be YOUR FAULT
and (likely) not covered.

Even if you improve things and the professionals come along and turn it bad they could blame you.

Oh yeah, not to mention that the whole damned thing could come down ON YOU !

No tractor is worth getting hurt for, it is a tractor, that is all it is.

Too late to the party.

The small building with the funky walls was where the milk cans were stored until the wagon came and picked them up. There is a old bathtub shaped pit made from concrete and they say that is where the cans would sit, in cold well water. The old well casing is still in there too. I wonder if a windmill stood there and that is why the walls are angled? I will have to ask them.

I don't know if the OP is still around. If you are, here are a couple of places which could probably fix your tire if there is a problem.

Site Title - Home Ash Fork, AZ Auto, Truck Repair & Towing Services - Murphy’s Heavy Towing & Truck Repair

Hey Jstpssng...thanks for the link. You're not gonna believe this, but I worked for them a few years back at their Chevron/C-store (it's now a Shell). Weekend graveyard shift. First time EVER they hired a female for it. Worked for 2 years and then suddenly "she" called right before my shift and said sorry it's just not working out and don't need you any more. WTF??!! I filed unemployment (first time in my life) and got it ;)

Besides that their service rig won't come out here because the road is too rough. Buncha sissies :thumbdown: The guys in Seligman don't do mobile calls any longer. They work on my truck and are super. The Dad knows those trucks inside-out :cheerful:

Insurance adjustor is coming out Wed am to inspect the damage. Since the power was out for almost 40 hours, all the fridge/freezer food I lost will be part of the claim. Who knew!!

Oh...a milk house. Thanks. ....but now this Yankee wants to know "Why would the walls be angled if a windmill stood there?"
