    You Know You Are Old When

    What about clam diggers? :LOL: Girls wear them today but they call them half pants ? Heck some of the shorts I see boys wearing appear to measure half pants !

    You Know You Are Old When

    So I've heard. Fortunately we didn't have any of that. Just 2 parents who lived about 100 yrs and died just weeks apart.

    Kioti vs Kubota Quality - No Empirical Evidence

    Mine are aftermarket. Maybe yours are factory quality?

    Kioti vs Kubota Quality - No Empirical Evidence

    A leaking tilt cyl is a PIA. Almost all of mine have had this issue over the years :( Have to remember to bump the lever every 30 minutes....

    Who rides motorcycles?

    The D606 rear tire was pretty stiff. I can't imagine getting it on without some type of machine to hold the rim. I just saw this gadget and I'm not gonna lie, it looks pretty cool. But it won't work with my changer unless I change to a shorter center bolt???

    The Resting Place.

    The Quick and the Dead. Great Movie. Sharon Stone did good in this too. It was a star studded cast. But Hackman was the epic bad guy.

    Massey Ferguson 35 - 3 cylinder Perkins Diesel

    I've since had 2 of the 4 cylinder Perkins. Both good engines as well. Honestly I can't say they make a whole lot more power but they do drink more fuel. The 3 cylinder Perkins is a solid option.

    What did you buy this week?

    Still ... ridiculous. Govt at it's best. 😖 What part of lifetime license don't they get? Maybe the state needs to change the way they list the lifetime license to an auto renew annual license? Or a prepaid annual license? It just seems absurd that a lifetime license doesn't count in the annual...

    What did you buy this week?

    Let me get this straight. The state wants you to pay $3 to get counted after buying a lifetime license to fish so they can get more $ because they can't account for the license you already bought? That sounds like govt working at it's best. :LOL: Uhm, no.

    Massey Ferguson 35 - 3 cylinder Perkins Diesel

    I ran a couple of the 3 cyl Perkins motors, one was in a MF 30B I had for many yrs on the ranch. They are great little motors making decent power with good fuel economy. You have done a beautiful job restoring that tractor (y)

    Kioti vs Kubota Quality - No Empirical Evidence

    I bought a used Kubota (150 hrs) based upon my belief that it was the best machine for the money over the long haul with the best parts availability and highest resale value. It's not my 1st or 2nd tractor and I'm very happy with the MX5200. Your experience may vary :) Plus I have 2 dealers...

    Who rides motorcycles?

    I bought the best cheapie changer I could find as I'm not anticipating using it a whole lot. After using it to change and balance 2 tires it is financially a wash. Next time it is free changes. Plus the satisfaction of DIY

    Value of Horse Saddles?

    Kind of true with anything, no? Like the guy who is saying kioti is as good as kubota. I think the resale will tell a tale. I habitually look at CL and FB for second hand equipment and goods. People that think they should get 80% of retail on used items are not selling. New the saddles shown...
