6/16/22 Did not make my beloved ,”Amarillo by morning “ BUT DID BY EVENING !! all went well 6 1/2 hour uneventful drive ! Just like flying we love uneventful flights and drives ! My dear better half drove 21/2 hrs . I love Amarillo and every time we visit here , I tell Carol , Can’t leave here , let’s call moving vans , and few low boys for the girls in shed ! actually most of the panhandle would suit me but I am afraid I am to old to start farming cotton again ! Lol 2 picture leaving Gallup NM and one on arrival at Oasis rv park . tomorrow head to Oklahoma City . btw weather all along so far has been like home 87 to 104 very little humidity light breezes fyi we have traveled 1200 plus miles and it’s 1100 plus to sSpringfield Ohio . tony

My thoughts on governed trucks.

You should use it everyday and tell her how great it is

I know a guy that once bought his wife an exercise bike for Christmas.......she didn't ask for one either..........🤔

It was once said (regarding elections) "As Maine goes, so goes the nation", BUT we are now seeing how "The People's Republic of California" is able to dictate policy (on EVERY subject) that the other 49 states are forced to accept and follow. I, too, fail to understand how ONE state can control interstate commerce coming into that state, whether it be laws pertaining to animal husbandry, trucking coming into the state, the abrogation of decades old guarantees regarding the water RIGHTS of agriculture. California IS a cancer that has proven itself deadly to American industry, traditional American values, and almost anything that affects the daily life of the rest of REAL America.

When its too hot to play might as well rest.

start a tiktok channel putting random stuff on it to see how far it will go and or break other things you've put behind it, i remember we had one growing up made a great clothes rack until i figured out how far it launch a hotwheel or G.I. Joe then it left one day while i was at school🤔

I use the wife's....................

A little levity in an increasingly unleavened world 🌎 Not a shameless request for "likes" as per #10. Just spreading a little cheer.😄

I have seen videos of people using them to put fire wood in the shed.

For sure. I don’t believe anybody thought differently. I have one with “300” hours on it now and another one with “1200” or “2200”. They were working together today.

6/13/22 Carol and I left home for our first leg of trip to Ohio . We in Hendersen Nv visiting my daughter . 6/15/22 we are in Gallup NM . an observation of hiway traffic so far , I would guesstimate traffic at about 10% above pandemic days of shut down . trucks are working hard many packs on roads and every fuel stop with parking is loaded with trucks , Also miles of trains loaded with double stacked 40 ft containers ! So industry is moving but cars , pickups , Rv’s really noticeable , we counted five class A’s DP ‘s and about same in fifth wheels From Fresno to Gallup NM . Last year when we went to RPRU in Da Quoin we had to reserve RV parks head of time they were packed so far no problem . Just fyi could all change when we get to Amarillo . few pics of so far .last pic was leaving home , then parked at daughters cul da Sac. My daughter Tammi , Carol , Brooke my Granddaughter ,my three loves of my life ! Brooke is really into volleyball and driving her 300U at cafes parades . tony

Old tanker , yes very proud of granddaughter she is the gem of my eye . as to Doc , I hope you get clearance soon and when you do push for it . On 12/15-16/21 I really thought I was gone with pneumonia and after my heart , it’s been seven months and I am just know getting stamina back ! That is why we have taught Carol to drive , I get a rest and nap , keeps me going . I never thought in December of 21 we would be doing this again ! I give thanks every nite praying for you clearance soon ! I really just got doc approval in April cus I told them I had a show to put on in Tulare ! Lol tony

Sounds like my wife. Her attention span seems to be about 2 weeks on most new activities. If you have young kids we've found it's fun to put hot wheels, toy tractors, trucks, anything with wheels on and watch them spin. They do dent the drywall if you let them go at high speed.

And electricity comes from a building

What a mess we have on so many levels. I hope we can get everything back to a more normal situation. Unfortunately many people love drama... especially the news media.

Just noticed there is a little dog poopin in the middle of the pic....i apologize for his lack of discretion.

Hey you're home. You look hot and sweaty. That reminds me your soda bottle is empty now.

And I got it! I love this old girl. Out cultivating and noticed it. I wish I could buy a brand new one!!

I’d hate to be the guy in the doghouse on that picture!

You cannot get a U-Haul in California. But they will almost give you one in Texas if heading to California. The Great Migration is now headed East.

Just about mowing the grass...

AOC washed her hair this morning. Whoooooo

Lot of the stuff going on in CA is because of referendum vote. Like a lot of their taxes. They convince the middle class that the wealthy are going to be the ones paying the taxes. And the voters believe it. Sorry. I have no sympathy for the people who vote themselves into poverty. Or crime for that matter. Maybe these people should think about moving to another area? The first thing a business has to do is make a profit. With out that the business fails and everyone is out of work. So if a state taxes a business to the point they cannot compete the business either fails or moves. Rick

Tilling taters, Had to bring the 1026 out of retirement to help get caught up. The good,bad and the ugly all together.

If they were thinking they could have took the tongue off and mounted the ball coupler to the center ripper and had a hydraulic adjustable hitch 😁

I'll be there. Starting which day? I'm coming down Wednesday. Looking forward to meeting a few forum members and some friends that have been virtual to me for some years in person.

I saw a video one time of a guy using a treadmill to put firewood in the basement of his house he had the treadmill pointed at a open window which I assume went to his wood storage. He put the wood on the rapidly spinning treadmill and it in turn threw it through the open window. Saving the guy from having to bend down and throw the wood through the window.

Monday I started brakes on my trailer they have been suggestions for a little while (7-8 years..) pulled the hubs of Monday went and got parts. Got home got one hub on and my friend needed help sandbagging. Today I finished the project. Trailer brakes get spendy fast. But hopefully good for another few years. Tomorrow recover from this week and requote this fence. It's on its way to the gulf of Mexico. I have so much better tools this time it should go much better.

When across certified scale last Saturday, the good news is total weight loss was 300 lbs. Tractor 285 lbs. and driver 15 lbs. so far.

Damm---- I had some figures on pressure per square inch from just standing water applied against a wall . At 4 or 5 ft depth it was unbelievable. With the current pushing as illustrated in Maders first pictures ----psi would be double unbelievable. Think about the power that would be needed if pushing that rock down the street in the picture. Looks like the "operator" had some real talent to leave it that smooth!!! That Montana water will be heading this way------42% of U.S. flows down the Mississippi. We may see another high stage on the Mississippi. (just got low enough to plant soybeans on some riverside cropland nearby). I am located 12 miles south of Greenville----elevation 115/116 ft. DD

I’m so good at number 3 that I’m still doing it.

I'll be there... someone has to haul the kitchen for making pies... the boys have the tractor job.

550 miles down, 1522 to go. BK

I you don't show up, I will be knocking on your door. BK.

^ Waukesha diesels Too bad White choose to drop the Oliver name . those grey tractors have their heritage in Ollie's 😎 I painted this Ollie for a friend a few years ago and really didn't want to give it back to him,😉

If the pipe from the oil bath filter to the carb is pretty much straight its an 88, if it dips down to the carb it's a 77. Lots of Oliver love at this farm.

Here’s some recent pictures, the last two are hilarious

Actually met the guy half way so I still don't know the way up there 😂

The one at my house is used to hang laundry on...

Link works great - thanks

That happened here in '19 "sort of" with a 30" heavy wet snow then a couple of days later heavy rain melted it. Huge chunks of river ice the size of houses in the Niobrara river did a lot of damage to Northern and Eastern Nebraska. Had a thread in the old Coffee Shop but search wouldn't pull it up. Must be "water under the bridge".....................😏

Just make sure you get the order correct..... Nothing against your feet @Rawleigh99 😊

I wuz hoping I wuz sleeping through the last 2 yearz, nope.

get a prybar go to work on it

I just picked up this barn-find Super 77 in January and fixed it up to my liking. It was a two owner tractor originally purchased here in town. I spent hours cleaning and polishing the paint after removing surface rust, and had some "Oliver" decals made that look like they have been on there since 1955. Of course I spent countless hours going over the mechanicals and fixing everything up to be Field Ready. It was a really fun project to resurrect this winter. I always wanted one...

On my 1486 one side not to bad worked on and off for two weeks on other side finally left clamps loose put a smaller pin in hole several months later I hit a ditch at a high rate of speed and saw rust fly out . It was at last loose .oh and I had a 20 ton jack on top and a portapower on bottom and didn’t break anything but the portapower ear .

Remove the 7/8 plug on the rear of the MCV valve and crank the engine until the oil pukes out. Replace the plug. See if that primes the steering. Is it an 856 Custom?

those that ya saw bend over in an extreme way only did combition mowing, Swiss style Scythe snaths can't be adjusted
