You did pretty good. I went to WI to pickup rims and tires for the WD45 and got those put on, then put the half tracks back on it. Did some rearranging, put 4 tractors in one garage, 5 in the other and stuck 9 outside for the winter. Wife says quit buying tractors so I can afford to build a pole shed. Probably good advice.

I disk-chisled for about 2 1/2 hours with the 7580. Found an oil leak, the pin holding one of the 3 pt. arms fell out and there was some antifreeze coming out of the overflow after I shut down. Projects for tomorrow I guess.

I baled manure for about an hour and a half total the whole time I was home for thanksgiving on my 7000. Blew the hydraulic hose off the steering line right after coming in off the road (fortunately). It was one I had made at tractor supply about 3 months ago before leaving to come to college, and the guy who put it together hadn't crimped the ends all the way, so the hose just popped right out. Well, they didn't have any new fittings in that size to recrimp on my hose, so they took the hose back and gave me a refund. Ended up paying double what I had originally paid for that one at NAPA ($60 at NAPA....), but it's put together correctly and if it lasts for 30+ years, that extra $30 is well spent. Now I'm back in Philly at school and away from the farm... life sucks again. :-/

I finished up my model of the AC one-way and posted pics here and updated my website so I am still in the AC world. :>) Reading the comments about getting things ready from winter reminded me of having to take the batteries out of 7 restored tractors, charging them and then moving them to the basement for the winter (while we were here in AZ) then reversing the job when we got home in the spring. I miss the tractors and shows, but can't say I miss getting ready for winter. A whole lot easier to just pour a glass of ice tea and lounging on the patio watching the crazy golfers go by. Must be getting lazy too!! :>) Armand

Had the 160 out for a few hours on Saturday. Cleaned up the driveway a bit, scraped the gravel back in the potholes. Warming her up a bit, charged the battery and ready in case it snows this winter. Maybe if I'm ready it won't snow!

Used the slip scoop on the wd45 to take gravel from am an old railroad bed and put it on a muddy spot on the lane by the woods. Father in law used his CA with a blade to spread it around. Free rock and got to play in the mud... My kind of fun!

Bought a bigger trailer today so we can take our car with us to Florida and take both the G and D-10 to shows. I think we will leave a couple weeks earlier this year.

Combine wouldn't start, got the skidsteer put back together, had my F150 catch fire on the brake master cylinder, then found out the switch was recalled because it can start a fire. (Go figure) Watched my buddy brush hog about 3 acres of sweet corn stalks with his Massey Harris 101 Jr. Cleared a couple patches of small trees and brush with the skidsteer. All in all, I spent more time wrenching on the skidsteer and cussing at my truck than anything else.
