Find your welder in the garage and fix it. People are going to riot because the project stopped.

Ron- It reads like good news. Good luck Friday and Monday.
Don- The best laid plans...... Things always seem to fail when there is an audience and a "peanut/popcorn" gallery watching.
opcorn:opcorn: Good luck with the rig "adjustments."
It made it to 34F here today. More driveway challenges are developing.

Buckeye and Ron, good news i hope and think.
got the chain harrow back on the original shipping pallet, a very odd skinny long pallet, not normal at all, and
was smarter this time and spent fifteen minutes adding another support to the pallet where the forks just missed a second
rung. Visions of great cracking noises...so I got it beefed up and then took it out to the field and loaded the chain harrow.
Tried to pull it by hand, what a joke, only threw out my back. I had kept the forks on so they came in very handy.
I was very pleased to finally read the tag on the chain drag harrow that I special ordered at Tractor Supply. My expectations were far exceeded when I saw the
size of the chains the first time. Well, it seems I have a very fine British harrow! Built in Halesowen outside of Birmingham and I even found the builder's small factory
on Google Maps. Seems I must have the Bentley of drag harrows...:thumbsup:
Attaboy TSC purchasing.
spent some time with both neighbors,my one neighbor and I agreeing that our other common neighbor was getting more pitiful all the time.
And my fireman neighbor is a distant relative of the Drunken Farmer and just wishes the guy would disappear. The farmer extolled today about something that would
make Roy smile, as he said the big farm that used to cover this whole area was called the plantation. Not that long ago...
The farmer said I could have all the land I wanted, which he had said before and I think I made some progress on his getting his prior tenant farmer back.
Overall a good afternoon in mid sixties sunshine.
Changed the fuel filter in the Gravely, sharpened the blades on the Cub Cadet LX2; fancy fab deck on this mower but the world's cheesiest blades. They must weigh a third of
my other blades. And the end was slightly worn off. I guess lightweight blades keep lightweight hubs running longer. MTD not at its finest. I did see its finest today at the dealer where they had the new professional grade Cub Cadet zero turns, with steering wheels. Super heavy duty large frame mower. I wondered quietly why they wanted $12k CC zero turn when they also sold Kubota zero turns. Well, Kubota doesn't offer a steering wheel... shoe for every foot I guess.
No Super A today, and they even admitted to a drip...whatever that is they intend to fix it and deliver tomorrow. I said not to rush, going to be pouring rain and the fields are so wet I can't use the thing anyway. Plus it's going to be really cold this weekend so not like I'll be riding around on that thing...once i figure out how to start it...

Bird when you see the PCD have him also do an EKG, better safe than sorry. Area of the pain and comes and goes with activity would make me suspicious.
If it gets worse don't brush it off.

Don't give up keep digging I'm rooting for you:thumbsup:
Bird
Rest in Peace
Sounds good, Ron.
I had to have Margaret to the surgery center this morning at 11 a.m., but they had 2 doctors, one representative from the company that sells the equipment, and I'm not sure how many nurses. Margaret also has "restless leg syndrome" but one of the doctors told me she kept moving around, so it took longer, but he says everything went well otherwise.
But I expected it to take an hour or less. Oh well, nothing unusual about my predictions being wrong. We got home about 4:45 p.m. I did more magazine reading today than I've done in my memory.:laughing:

42 and rain roads will be a bit icy in the morning
Drew just be thankful it was the Orange Tractor and not that nice Farmall Super A that would have been a sin. Starting that A is easy Turn the crank.
BuckEye hope you start feeling better My kid brother had back surgery last April still has pain and therapy he needed major reconstruction.
Don I agree with Buckeye "OT" it must be a union job. Try pushing from the other side that you removed the dirt and snapped the roots less pressure and weight.
Toppop agreed backhoe's are fun but a mini excavator that's the ticket
