Bird, I recall you have a connection to the B&O museum in Baltimore. Or am I getting you mixed up with someone else?

I tend to join forums after I buy something, then try to learn more about what I bought.

I remember the site when it was Kubota only before it became inclusive.
Spent many nights after work on my painfully slow kih.net isp on a dial up connection. Enjoyed reading what others had done and occasionally posting myself.
Thanks to all

Whew, you sure have a better memory than I have. My Dad's oldest sister was married to a high ranking official in that roalroad when I was a tiny kid. He had a heart attack and whe he died he left my aunt with a gold watch and chain, so interesting paperwork, etc. and I inherited that stuff when my died. Many years later, when I learned of the B&O museum I donated that watch, chain, penknife, and some interesting papers, pay schedules, emergency call information, etc. to the museum. I've never been there, and reckon I never will be, but I'd sure like to see that place.

Nice wright-up Bird, thanks for sharing. It sounds like some an interesting and rewarding times. I hope the future brings the same to you.

I think we suggested he write a book about his life experiences about 15 years ago! Very interesting.

I joined back in the Kubota Only days. Bird was here; from what I remember we were within the first 75 members. I had just bought, or was about to get my used Kubota B8200HSTD; I bought that at Gold Country Kubota, Auburn Ca in June 1998.

Back then, it could take days sometimes before you'd get replies on whatever topic, which is a lot different from today. There were not as many sub forums.

Wow, just looking at dates, been around here 24 years!

When I joined in 2000, this site had forums for several tractor brands, so the Kubota only era must have predated 2000.

Do you mean there are other tractor brands? If so, when did THAT start?

I thought it involved a watch. I should go there.

Cause that's what his family bought.

Muhammad, you need to elaborate on this!

I'm pretty sure Muhammad doesn't own a tractor. I'm over 50% sure he's never owned a tractor. Hopefully he can clarify this.
