........I have sinned. Drove one of those green tractors today with a green mower behind it. Church needed about 5+ acres bush hogged and one of the deacons had his company drop off one of their units for me to use (saved me from hauling mine 60+ miles). That darn thing has too many switches and small levers with no wording, just pictures (Lou's pet peeve); took me 15 minutes to figure out how to operate it. But the air conditioning was nice! ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

| Neighbor who was a John Deere fanatic"I believe he has John Deere cereal bowls and toilet seats" asked me to drive one of his 2 cylinders in the local Heritage Day parade. Anyone who knows me would tell you that I am a picker and will pick on anyone given the opportunity! So I show up for the parade with my bright orange Allis Chalmers hat ! People in the crowd would yell" You got the wrong hat on"! My response was " I have the right hat on"! Neighbor didn't ask me to drive in the parade next year! |

Hubert, I am ok with what you did and you came clean, was for a good cause. Oh boy I may really be in trouble too? Used the Ford Jubilee with the John Deere 272 groomer on it to mow for 5 hours yesterday at the tractor show grounds. Can I be banned from the orange forum for this?? :) Now at the same time I got a text from my daughter that she was going to do some brush hogging with the D17! That's my girl!

You came clean Hubert. You will be fine. Just take a hot shower and wash that dirty feeling off and then go apologize to your Allis. Possible repercussions.
