how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

You didn't mention tires. I had some of those sitting in the shed. What size?

It has 205/75/14 on it now, but 185-215 will work. Mine are ok for pulling it locally, but they are OLD, and the tread is thin.

Thanks for the words of encouragement everybody...

Friday, I was cutting wood on an elderly couple's property. I have mentioned them to you guys before. I have been cutting there off an on for the last couple months. I get there and the lady is on a little old Kubota pushing limbs into piles. The man was gone running errands. I dropped 3 oaks and was limbing. I cut a few limbs and drag/stack them into a single pile. I turn around and she is standing there with gloves on. She says, "You look like you could use some help. You cut and I will pull limbs." Well, that is what we did and knocked the limbing out in no time. When we got done there was a pile of limbs all around the tree. She says, "Don't worry about stacking them, i will push them up into a pile with the tractor". Win-win.

I am heading back out now to drop a few more. Later...

I have a friend with 2 tire shops. He sells used tires. I will see what I can find.

I've had that thought but just went ahead and run it.
It didn't blow so it must be good.

The little brass cap, on top, is the dipstick. When I drained the old tank I only got about a gallon out of it. It would hold 5. Ummmmm.

I don't have any that small. I do have a couple of 15" tires but they're mismatched. Bonus: one is mounted on a six lug rim that, if memory serves, fits a Toyota truck axle. Either of those help?

I can always scrounge for more. You saw my place, I'm like a pack rat.

A couple of size 12 reminders from my Dad taught me to check those pretty regularly.

Morning midlanders!

Aggravated my shoulder starting the Wards 5.0" last night. Got him all spiffy, fixed the recoil and set the points at .017" (advanced the timing a touch).

Thanks! Come on over, I made plenty. Had a friend butcher a hog for me last fall. Nothing better than farm raised food. We can even have a prayer and a little morning devotional to get everyone's mind right for the week ahead.

Hey Carl hope the shoulder gets better

I HAVE to have that EVERY day, and a few fill ins throughout the day, and my mind still gets out of whack! Gotta stay in the Blessed Ole Book!
