DT Fan Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I'd love to be there but it's a bit far. Pretty sure there will be parts available for the 756/826 I could use! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if @2+2 Guy would want to come along? ? Probably not going to make it this year, BJ. My son’s farm drainage business has really started to take off and he keeps me busy wrenching on equipment. I tell folks that I’m his VP in charge of transportation, fabrication, repairs and parts procurement. Hope next year at Springfield will work out. Wishing you all the best.

ny bill o Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I won't be able to make it this year. Mike can't get time off, and I have too much else going on, farm-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHRedDrive Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 We're planning for RPRU next year in Springfield. Only one show this year (works got us boxed in) so we're heading to Half Century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking a triple 53' trailer load pulled by a 3788 would be the easiest way to get some tractors there. Might take you a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cushions not too good on either. I have no battery covers for either machine. I'm sure there are lots more. Devon can probably help with some of these things. Maybe he'll give me a discount since we're born on the same day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally we weren't going to attend because the wife wanted to go up North. Then originally governor idiot looked like she was going to ruin the 4th here in the People's Republic of Michigan with her Covid rules pre CDC rule change. Wife got ornery and said no way our son was going to miss out on his first 4th of July. So she started looking at things in Indiana. I made a comment about Red Power being in Illinois. Mostly as a joke. Next thing I know, she's got a house rented within reasonable distance of the show to stay at a couple of days. And we're going. Outstanding. Looking forward to meeting you - and many others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigequip Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I found this front half of a 1926 Buick Roadster and I have a chassis to put it on to finish my "WhatsIt". It has only been 15-20 yrs since I started on it. No rush when you can't find the right parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigequip Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I better get working on my plan for the Almond raid at Tony's......... It is so darn HOT that I lost my transmission in Phoenix this morning. I was in Phoenix at 8:30am, and on the Freeway headed North to Prescott when I looked in my mirror to change lanes and their was this big ball of smoke, then my transmission went limp. I coasted over to the side and then put it in gear to go again when I found out I only had 1st & 2nd gear, so I drove 30-35 mph on the shoulder to Prescott (2.5 hrs). While driving I called my friend to go to my house and get my Dodge 3500 which had the tilt trailer hooked to it. I told him I would meet him in Chino Valley on hwy 89 and just when I got to CV, here he comes in the opposite direction. We then loaded up the 4 Sebastopol Geese and then loaded the truck on the tilt bed. Left at 5am and got home at 5:30pm. What a day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put his name in Google and all I get is that he is on the corner of "Walk & Don't Walk"! How am I supposed to find him with an address like that?
