Okay, you've convienced me. Tomorrow I'm gonna have some kids. Shucks, does this mean I have to get a wife?

Now Bo:

You can't just run down to the local 5 & 10 and grab a 1/2 dozen you know. And as is often noted around here regarding seldom used equipment, It might be cheaper to just rent a wife when needed. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Nope, there's plenty of kids waiting to be adopted by someone that has enough love to share /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Found it! On the hill while deer hunting I decided to call it a day and figured I'd crusie the ridge to see what I could see in terms of deer sign and going up the hill right there in plain site was my drawbar! I'd looked there earlier but the ground cover had it covered up is all I figure since it's right an row that needs to be bush hogged and I drove all the edges.
Now I just got to get another hitch pin and I'll put a pin in it this time.

I lost a tire chain once. I drove over the area and couldn't find it. I was mowing at the time so had a very good idea where it might be. I walked the area and my wife came and we walked the area again. No luck. The nex t time I was mowing I got in the same area and was thinking gee it would be nice to find that chain. Just happened to look down at the next path to cut and there was my tire chain.

Sure glad you found your draw bar instead of the bushhog..whew.

Hope your having better result than I trying to locate 200lbs this year.

A friend kept loosing pins on his finish mower. We put small padlocks on... They haven't come off yet after a whole year of mowing........

Glad you found the drawbar. Saves you always wondering about it beatiing up your eqpt when you mow in the future.

I'm glad that you found the bar.

I had the pin and clip on mine while I was hogging. Later, I noticed that the clip was missing but the pin was still in. I decided that since I am unable to use the draw bar with the hog on, that it was best to pull the bar when I wasn't using it and save it from ending up lost.

My investigative instincts would point my suspicions directly at the largest whitetail buck living in the area. All the while you were stooping over that drawbar to pick it up, and during your walk back to the tractor in the barn, there were probably dozens of six-ten pointers prancing around behind you, laughing, and laughing.

I'd reinstall that drawbar and lay in wait to see if the critters sneak back into your barn to sabotage your tractor again.

Just can't trust venison these days. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif
