Are the silkies more winter hardy than a normal chicken?

I think they are supposed to be a "winter climate chicken breed".

But mine don't know that, they hate snow!

I need new injectors for my 2640. Thoughts on Chinese Ebay injectors? Anybody tried them?

Haven't tried any, but after needing some for cars I took a long look at the reviews for import injectors. Seems like most are hit and miss at best. I know John Deere owns A&I parts and we have bought a few of their aftermarket parts, so far so good with them. Looks like the part number for them is A-RE37503. Might need grommets which are extra.
Here is one on the bay for $40.

I have ordered parts from Pensacola diesel and have had good luck with them as well. They have a listing for them on the bay as well $57 if you buy 2 or more.

Thank you sir.

Thank you sir.

You're welcome. Had to spend a little time on the john deere parts site just in the last day or two. Suction hose on the hydraulics on one of the tractors has a crack and was pulling in air. Get pretty good at parts lookup because of necessity. Seems like it is an almost weekly thing anymore, something always breaking.

Little runner duck orphan.
11 eggs in an "automatic" incubator, 2 ducklings hatched, 1 died the same day, 5 dead embryos, this one is now 5-6 days young but alone.
It will have to live alone for a while longer till it gets bigger (they grow FAST), then we will try and integrate it to the 6 ducks we have.
I will try and spend as much time as I can spare with it, it holds still and keeps quiet on "physical contact".
Poor thing is alone!

I came up with this for the lone little duckling.
At lest it can see the grown ducks and chicken, and is outside.
I tried let the little bird go on the lawn , started zooming off like a rocket!
Not yet little one, grow a little more first.

That’s a chitty job, I had to replace 4-5 block bearings a year when pulling over the road & had to replace the roller bearings every year. Every couple of years the doors would start to come apart & would send them up to Timpte to get redone.

I’d really like to run/own one of those 1455’s
I wish they would have sold them in the states.

Somehow with this being on "the net" i expected "The Official Farming Thread" to be about Farmville or cryptocurrency.

Learn sumpin' new every day!

They are nice tractors lovely sound too then they pull like hell and smoke like a train
they where made in Neuss France well sought after by collectors

the 955 1055 and 1255 where also pretty good and that X-LARGE cabin was smart
when 1st released
