Air, that’s an Airplane.

I have a friend who bought a brand new 22’ super duty and put Bias tires on it.

Same here, all of Depot st was older folks, a teacher, librarian lady, a bunch of the church regulars, etc etc, one by one they have been bought up by the local slum lord.. there’s only one or 2 that I would consider stopping at with my kid. We go to my parents, we’re too far out in the woods for trick or treaters here.

The DEA article is from 2022, but the article that brought it to my attention is from a subscription based source, since the DEA is not only as credible as we have, but free, I posted that. The information is still relevant, and anyone with children might want to be aware.

Razor blades in apples are the least of concerns these days. Unless it’s a sealed, name brand candy or I know where it comes from, it goes in the trash. This article about Rainbow Fentanyl came across my Daily Wire feed but this info is straight from DEA. Worth a read, and has pictures. https://www.dea.gov/press-releases/2022/08/30/dea-warns-brightly-colored-fentanyl-used-target-young-americans

Best you can do in LT sizes

I had that a couple years ago, tiny little thing, and they were 10 ply tires. Good luck, hopefully things start to improve.

Those were the days…

Likewise.

Be careful which pictures you’re posting there…

I see plug wires

Gas or diesel? This one is diesel, it spends its life on that splitter these days, but it was a nice mowing tractor. I know of a couple people that tried them out new, said they couldn’t keep the front end on the ground while plowing. for 800 bucks I wouldn’t pass up another one locally. I would like to get a 414 for parts to convert this to power steering.

D-14, it came from Young’s Farm Equipment in Fair Haven, and it’s hasn’t moved more than a 1/4 mile since new. My FIL bought it from the original owners estate. He was a large grower of Trefoil.

Another one I would never part with

Yes. Been in the family since I could walk, ran me over when I was 5. It will be here until I am gone at the very least.

The one on my dad’s M is steel, the one I have for mine is paper, and the steel one is bigger

That stinks, I have some batteries that are 10 years old and going strong.

I want to do a calendar of these.

Dad used 3-4 of them on the bottom of his chimney brush. His was on a rope, so the weight was necessary.

Thanks for the update, praying for a fast and easy recovery for her.

His “battery Juice” is the glow plugs, those BD144 are a distinctive sounding engine, he didn’t push the shut off lever back in when he shut it off evidently, there is a little hook down underneath the dash and fuel tank you pull to stop. Starter has a lever on the left side of the transmission, you need to wiggle it to align the gears or it will grind. The glow plugs are notoriously finicky, unless that one has been up fitted with power steering from a B-414, I personally wouldn’t want a suicide knob on it, they’re hard steering with a loader. Great little tractors. If he gave it just a whiff of nose candy instead of the malfunctioning glow plugs it would have taken off easily. Especially when it’s cold, I sometimes pull the breather cap off and spray over top of the tube, just a mist makes it in and most goes to waste, but it works much better that way. Over your left shoulder works too, you just have to threaten it.
