Good afternoon all,
It a sunny day here and currently 62* per the weather station, going for a high of 70* with a low of 46* tonight so things are warming up a bit.
I'm going to work on building the top portion of the H frame Gallows Truss for my turn-table
which should make the TT look much different.
Say Karl: After looking up the JD40 I can see it's a full size tractor alright! Wouldn't one of the smaller size JD yard tractors be better for you?
In the past I've kept about three plus acres of uneven slooping ground mowed down around my place using a Sears/American Yard Products 18 Hp High rear wheel Garden Tractor that I have almost 1,000 Hrs of of used time on the Hour meter. It's like the larger Husky, and Cub Cadets that now have 26Hp Engines. Mine has served me very well except that I've had to replace the bendix on the starter, and do again now, about 5 times now. Oh, I gone through three seats too butt that's about it. So it's been very serviceable except for the darn bendix and the fact one of the bolts holding the starter in place is a real PIA to get removed and put back.
Say Jeffery: With all the rain I've been getting out here I also had better get my tractor going again to keep the fields mowed down from a fire hazard standpoint as due to past circumstance I haven't for the last couple of years but did use my weed trimmer but the tractor and belly mower is sure a lot easier and more fun too till things dry out and get dusty when the damn Tarrweed is blooming in full force. Thankfully I have kept a pretty good handle on that damn stuff. The stalks get to about 1/4" in diam if not wacked back soon enough.
Take care all and keep the rail deliveries going!
