want to bring a few cattle in and maintain enough fresh veggies for the wife to keep canning

Arnolds closed last year. The old man passed on. I think it will be a mexican place soon.

I have 26 acres. I currently have great danes and horses.

Sounds like a nice doable plan. Remember now when your doing new tractor stuff if there are no pictures then it didn't happen.:D

Ok gents I screwed the pooch on photos. But I did get the 135 running again. Replaced the injector pump, repaired a couple fuel lines, sealed the radiator, rebuilt the generator and took a whole bunch of pain medicine.....Now I need to clean up the hydraulics......the right side arm isn't lifting properly. I will have good weather and will snap a few pictures in the morning.

Hey certainly not a problem. Take things at your own pace and entertain us with some pictures when you fell like it. It sounds like you haven't realized one of the best things about being retired. If you don't get it done today you will have something interesting to work on tomorrow. :thumbsup:

You have one of those tractors that makes every body else have to step up and say I can do that too.
