   Hey y’all! Think I’m in the right spot now.Anyway,not sure if there’s a place here for intros but I’ll start here after doing searching and lurking here for a little bit on some unstyled WC info a while back.And too a friend of my dads (Curtis Mabe’s) ‘Mystery D18’ popped up here so I figured it was time to join up and say hey.I’m only on one other forum which is Gretsch (guitar) Pages..another Orange love/habit and here seems to be a fairly simple layout as well.My love of AC goes back as far I can remember growing up on our NC tobacco now hay farm as my grandfather bought his third new AC on my dad’s BD,Jan1 1953...a CA tricycle that he’s still trying to buy back from an older gentlemen my grandfather sold it to with hopes of getting it back one day.Anyway,I enjoy reading the threads here and it’s always fun learning more about the Persian Orange.

| MD you have come to the right place to get 'messed up' with orange... questions can be asked here about tractors or anything orange. Not always a straight answer given but a good one to help move forward with our addiction to machinery and keeping it running, if possible.   welcome | ||

 321 all the way from your place.We take 24/27 to 64 and go through Statesville to Lenoir then 321 all the way.Always nicer than taking I40 and always may see a tractor or several beside the road for sale. Actually my Dad bought his WF from a elderly woman whose husband had passed away several years ago in Lenoir.Our farm is right off I95 right outside Fayetteville/Ft Bragg so I’m sort of central/eastern NC. | ||
