I learned the hard way on my 1486 It is a "H" pattern Not a "Z" pattern "Usually the problem in the Hi Lo linkage did not get in neutral before you went into R" @ole 815 sent me this that helped me get ungoobered, maybe it will help you

They can kill off electric pickups But don't mess with my ride🤨

That sums it up very nicely Dale The IH had the fastest SPM's and I thought ran smoother than NH But that damn pin was a weak point in my sandy soils Not enough grease and it wore Too much grease and it attracted sand and it wore The head was expensive to rebuild if you let the pins get too much wear before you replaced them Overall I preferred the NH mowers on my Rowse double nine hitch Different conditions will net different opinions

Yup Still have the M with the Kosch mowers I have the back bar off the tractor and on its stand Just use the belly bar for mowing around the place And you are right about putting a nine foot bar on the back Gave em an extra two foot of cut. At the end of a long day, it added up

I never respected fences myself........we may have crossed paths and not even knew it!🤠 One saturday night as last call was called We got the wild hare to go to Denver for breakfast loaded up my Blazer with mixed company and beer and headed west It was a fair piece and a tic farther than we thought it would be 😟 (nobody had a map) We did make it to some little roadside cafe after seeing the Denver City Limits sign before they quit serving breakfast to start on the dinner menu though 🤣 So I guess it was a success And seeing those Rocky Mountains appear and loom up before us as the sun was coming up behind us was pretty damn awesome!

Yes sir You nailed it Makes sense that they would be found out here Now if he could just find the Plammers I lost........... Clay came up with this, this morning

To keep this thread alive Son found this walking along Medicine Creek a long way from anywhere

I need to make a very PUBLIC announcement on behalf of those of us who are 60-something. If you see a 67-year-old who seems a little boring now, understand something… WE ALREADY GOT IT IN. Like…GOT. IT. IN. 😂 We’re not sitting home on Friday night because we never knew how to have fun. We’re sitting home because WE’VE HAD ENOUGH FUN FOR THREE LIFETIMES. We went to parties in farmhouses, machine sheds, gravel pits and cornfields. Nobody sent a location because THERE WERE NO CELL PHONES. Somebody just said, “There’s a party out at Johnson’s.” Which Johnson? Nobody knew. But somehow 75 people found it. We cruised Main Street for hours with absolutely nowhere to go. Gas was cheap, the music was loud, and somehow 11 people fit into a car made for five. We drank Boone’s Farm, cheap beer and mysterious concoctions somebody handed us in a plastic cup. Nobody asked what was in it. You drank it and trusted the process. We closed down the bar and instead of doing the responsible thing and GOING HOME… somebody would yell: “RED ROOSTER!” Or… “LET’S GO TO THE BOONDOCKS!” And suddenly at 2:30 in the morning, the whole crew was sitting around a table eating eggs, hash browns and greasy breakfast food like we’d just finished a hard day’s work. Then somebody would say: “Well…might as well stay up now.” 😂😂 There was no Uber. No GPS. No Life360. No Find My Friends. There was just somebody saying: “Follow me. I know a shortcut.” And for reasons nobody can explain… WE FOLLOWED HIM. We made entire weekend plans without sending ONE text message. “Meet me there around 8.” That was the plan. And somehow everybody showed up. We did stupid things. We did REALLY stupid things. And the greatest gift our generation ever received was: THERE WERE NO CAMERA PHONES. There are events from approximately 1975 through 1985 that exist only in the memories of the people who were there. AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHERE THEY NEED TO STAY. So yes… Now we’re 67. We like our recliners. We like comfortable shoes. We like restaurants at 5:00. We like being home by 8:00. And if somebody calls at 9:30 and asks: “What are you doing?” The answer is: “Why the **** are you calling me this late?” 😂 We’re not boring. WE’RE RETIRED FROM ACTIVE DUTY. We’ve already closed the bars, stayed out until sunrise, made questionable decisions and somehow lived to tell about it. So when younger people see us peacefully sitting at home and think: “Man, you guys are boring.” Sweetheart… YOU’RE NOT LOOKING AT BORING OLD PEOPLE. YOU’RE LOOKING AT RETIRED LEGENDS. And thank God there isn’t much photographic evidence. 😂😂

I don't think anyone backs into a space out here, I've never thought about it But then, seems like everyone and their grandma drives crewcab dually so just happy to find a place to pull in The white paint on the parking places? if you can't see it, it don't count🤣

Mother nature can be very artistic!

Unseasonably warm fall here but last Monday a little reminder that winter is coming with this dusting of snow

Anytime I need to replace batt cables, I make my own with 2/0 welding cable, gets the most out of my batteries and I would think helps starter life And you asked for little things, so here goes..................... These are all very small things but help to make a long day just a bit shorter I"ve probably seen more 560's without shift knobs than with, both of mine came without, I like having something that fills my hand when I shift I extended the hyd levers on my 966. Don't have to bend forward and reach down for them, just slide my hand forward off the armrest and they are right there Probably doesn't help a lot but these make me smile in the 1486 and thinking of the gentleman that made em for me no charge. "Just give a little extra in the collection plate next Sunday". RIP OT Extended the pto lever on the mower M so I don't have to reach down for it, just swing my arm around and it is right there

I'm glad they were discovered and he was given a proper buriel Hopefully his uniform and other memorabilia were preserved as well.

I don't know how the food is But if I was in the area I would stop in here

I knowingly bought some counterfeits once Then I starting reading reviews about how they don't have the internal circuitry that the real ones have, safety and such Reports of explosions and fires when charging I said the heck with it and threw them in the burn barrel before I even tried to charge them once. $30 lesson applied on you get what you pay for

The granddaughter of USS Arizona survivor Raymond Haerry said last goodbye to her grandfather 2 times , first when he passed away, and again when she carried his ashes ( astya ) 5000 miles from her home to Pearl Harbor. With shaking trembling hands and a breaking heart and tear in the eyes she had him placed back aboard the Arizona, where he chose to rest forever among his 1,178 brothers that were lost that December morning time they have specially certified volunteer divers that will go down and place the ashes container on the Arizona. You can't just do it yourself, as it's now Natl. Park Service controlled. Only divers certified by the Pk. Service can do it.

Dang Cob Wonder if you didn't get stuck with some counterfeit ones??? I have a bunch of 2, 5, 6 and 8's and have not had one go bad/not hold or take a charge yet Hope you have some recourse with them, get replaced or rufunded. Don't really know how Ebay works, I guess

Windmills were an important part of settling and improving cattle grazing patterns in the Sandhills and are still widely used today

Some of the best breakfast's I have had on the road is while staying in the motels in Kansas They would hire Grandma types to cook complimentary breakfast to order (had a buffet too if you didn't want to wait) for the guests Just like eating at home and don't tell Jeanie but a couple maybe even better! 🤐😅

Or 2 bags of cattle mineral See, the American system of weights and measures is perfect🤠

Not fluent in kg's but guessing that would be about two bags of cattle mineral 😉 Which reminds me of this joke

Not that big and would crate up easy But very heavy
