The new guy

Well, I've been lurking here for years and usually a new person joins because they need something from you smart folks. Well, I haven't been stumped enough to join before, but have joined because of a classified ad, and trying to help another in allis land out. In the past someone else had the same question that I would Google and get sent this way, hence never needing to join.
Just from what I've noticed, there's plenty of awesome people here, mechanics with years of knowledge, farmers, collectors and just about everyone else in between. Then I've also noticed that there is this one guy from near Blair Nebraska, That has this machine that gets talked about once in a while... he seems like a real nice guy but seems like he could be trouble too lol!
And your probably wonderin what kind of orange I have. Well I have a 1943 C that was my great uncle's. It has a mounted hydraulic lift plow. It sat in the barn for 15 years and decided something needed to be done with it, so a new wiring harness, some steering parts, radiator, tires, and a split to redo the oil pump and now have a handy little tractor. I did leave it 6 volt too. The next one is an 8050 fwd. Some people buy boats or campers, some guy's buy a tractor. We have 100 acres tillable, but rented out. I dabble with a couple acres every year just for fun for our tractor club and help whoever when needed with the 8050. There's a 21 ft 2600 disk, 20 ft D-A field cultivator, and a 6 bottom green plow that goes behind it once in a while. I know you guys are going to want pics, but let me figure things out one step at a time please.
Thanks for having this forum! It's officially the first social media I have joined lol.

Welcome to the club, seems we all have our vices, mine is also Allis.

Welcome. You’re in good (well some are) company. This was the first social media I ever joined as well but that’s well over 15 years ago.

Yes, welcome Mike, sounds like you will fit it nicely...

Welcome, do you go to the Edgar Steam Show?

I try to get to Edgar at least every couple years. They do have a lot to see in a day though. I'm an hour away and it's always worth the trip, especially the breakfast. Do you know if it's still going to happen this year, with the world spinning the way it is? My cousin was pretty excited to hear Molly B was going to be there this year.

Welcome to the forum. Can't wait to see pictures

Welcome Mike. Good to have you along for the ride! When I was farming full time I had an 8050 MFWD . Great tractor. I really didn't need it anymore when I downsized so I kept my 7060 for hay work.

Welcome You might as well just jump in all the way,since you already know who the  trouble makers are.

Mike,

Mike as a friend I think I need to let you know something. You already know not to accept gifts from that one guy with a machine but let me tell you something. Don’t ever let ole Ted J give you a gift. I made that mistake once and still paying the price. 😂😂😂

Mike,

Chris, don't tell him that.
We love pictures. Yes they can be a challenge. There are helpful tips from members on here. I struggled with it also. My method may be more difficult than others but it seems to work for me.

Alright guys...it's been a while and I apologize if it was my fault. I was trying the picture posting thing one night with no success, then the next day that error code came around for a couple days. Not the most tech savvy kinda guy, and it would be my type to crash the website with a wrong stroke of the finger!
Anyway, I got my pictures on a S9 Samsung phone. Is there a way to resize and post right from it? I know a lot of people use imagur and work off a PC. I tried googling the picture posting chats from the past, but no luck. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I have a S7. What I do is snap the photo, text it to myself then download into files. It resizes for the text message which is small enough to load on this forum.
