I've never had to remove a tree from a tractor. Had to remove one from the flippers on a NH spreader one time. That was a fun one ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

| There's a B at my uncle's that has a mulberry that came up from under the mower, alongside the engine and through the hole in the hood beside the muffler. Wife snapped a picture. Maybe should post it? |

| My b had a black walnut grow up through the right front spindle got so big it dented the hood in about 6 inches. Didn't bend the wheel or the spindle. Spent a day cutting the tree down and off the tractor. Got the tractor home took to the stump with a sawszall ruined three blades, kept hitting something really hard. Finally carved it down and found a splitting wedge buried deep in the wood. Got pictures somewhere I'll try to post. |

That kinda reminds me of cutting firewood. Twice in my life i have hit a bullet that was buried way inside a log. First one was a jacketed one and it took the chain out. Second was a lead conical ball. Cut right through that one. |

I wish I could remember where I saw it, but there was a picture of a restored tractor and the tree (or a chunk of it) was left in place on the tractor as part of the restoration. Bob@allisdowneast ------------- I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not sure. |

| I just bought an ac disk and it had a tree big as that tractor grown up in it, I'm going to dread the day of attempting removal. |

| I always figured you might be best to disassemble as a much as you could then nuts burn the wood out of where ever it is left. Wouldn't have to burn it much before it would be loose. |

| It's taken over the outside two blades would be hard to disassemble. |
