That really was tragic. The tractor had been in the family since new and the father was not in the seat when he grabbed the lever. Rob

The way it used to be done? Cavemen.bmp

A teacher in a Detroit , Michigan elementary school asked her students if they could tell the class what sound a pig makes. Little Tyrone stood up and said: "Up against the wall mother fucker!" I guess there's not to many farms in Detroit ... ...

Friend of mine lost his son with an 8N Ford also. Smushed his head between a loader bucket, (trip style) and a fence post by pulling wrong lever. They were pulling fence posts at the time. Rob

I think the retro 8N replica is a standard package with only a loader as an available option. Everything is chrome plastic on the dash it seems. All the fenders, hood, headlamps, and what was metal on the original is plastic as far as "tin" is concerned. Three cylinder diesel engine is under the hood. Nice tractor to look at and they are durable but will they hold up long term, I don't know. They, (the New Holland tractors) are popular around here as parts are easy to get. Rob

I can't remember if he told me it cost him $36,900, or that was what he needed out of it. Rob

I had thought about that but the bear is a little more his "size", and female. Rob

The 38th parallel or north latitude is the division between North, and South Korea. It is probably the most fortified and patrolled border in the world. It is referred to as the "DMZ" and If war ever breaks out there, you will get to know it very well. Rob

Daughter's horse, (mare) could use some company, and I've got enough ground with a 60' round pen. I'm still about 3.5 hours north however. Rob

It all changed when he "borrowed" my bear. Rob

As a young man attempting to raise a family I remember that era all too well, and the need for change that took place. Rob

Damn, it sure seems like everybody is having a birthday this year? By all means; Happy Birthday!! Rob

Mine showed too but I can't get back into town before the post office closes so I'll grab it on Monday. Rob

Yup, one of my customer's is a New Holland dealer and has had one in his showroom for over six months. A little expensive. Rob

A father watched his young daughter playing in the garden. He smiled as he reflected on how sweet and pure his little girl was. Tears formed in his eyes as he thought about her seeing the wonders of nature through such innocent eyes. Suddenly, she just stopped and stared at the ground. He went over to her to see what work of God had captured her attention. He noticed she was looking at two spiders mating. 'Daddy, what are those two spiders doing?' she asked. 'They're mating,' her father replied. 'What do you call the spider on top?' she asked. 'That's a Daddy Longlegs,' her father answered. 'So, the other one is a Mommy Longlegs?' the little girl asked. As his heart soared with the joy of such a cute and innocent question he replied, 'No dear. Both of them are Daddy Longlegs. 'The little girl, looking a little puzzled, thought for a moment, then lifted her foot and stomped them flat. 'Well, we're not having any of that shit in our garden' she said.

When I was 14, I hoped that one day I would have a girlfriend. When I was 16 I got a girlfriend, but there was no passion, so I decided I needed a passionate girl with a zest for life. In college I dated a passionate girl, but she was too emotional. Everything was an emergency; she was a drama queen, cried all the time and threatened suicide. So I decided I needed a girl with stability. When I was 25 I found a very stable girl but she was boring. She was totally predictable and never got excited about anything. Life became so dull that I decided that I needed a girl with some excitement. When I was 28 I found an exciting girl, but I couldn't keep up with her. She rushed from one thing to another, never settling on anything. She did mad impetuous things and made me miserable as often as happy. She was great fun initially and very energetic, but directionless. So I decided to find a girl with some real ambition. When I turned 31, I found a smart ambitious girl with her feet planted firmly on the ground and married her. She was so ambitious that she divorced me and took everything I owned. I am older and wiser now, and am looking for a girl with big tits.

Naw, it's fuel supply system related from the symptoms. Also, ensure the flexible line leading from the fuel tank to the inlet of the transfer pump is good and not swelled shut internally. This is of course if your filters are clean. Old rubber lines can break down internally from exposure to fuel. I suspect you have a lot of trash in your tanks as mentioned earlier. There will be a drain plug in the low portion of the fuel tanks. I would drain them and refill with a couple gallons of fresh fuel. Drive the truck a few blocks and do the same again. This will allow fresh fuel to slosh around the inside of the tanks and pick up any floating debris to be drained again. When the fuel drained is clean, call it done. Rob

George Bush and Barack Obama somehow ended up at the same barber shop. As they sat there, each being worked on by a different barber, not a word was spoken. The barbers were even afraid to start a conversation, for fear it would turn to politics. As the barbers finished their shaves, the one who had Obama in his chair reached for the aftershave. Obama was quick to stop him saying, 'No thanks, my wife Michelle will smell that and think I've been in a whorehouse.' The second barber turned to Bush and said, 'How about you sir ?' Bush replied, 'Go ahead; my wife doesn't know what the inside of a whorehouse smells like.' Rob

A tough looking biker was riding his Harley, when he sees a girl about to jump off a bridge. So he stops. "What are you doing?" he asks. "I'm going to commit a suicide," she says. While he did not want to appear insensitive, he didn't want to miss an opportunity. So he asked "Well, before you jump, why don't you give me a blowjob?" So, she does. After she's finished, the biker says, "Wow! That was the best I have ever had. That's a real talent you are wasting. You could be famous! Why are you committing suicide?" "My parents don't like me dressing up like a girl." This any better? Rob

The bartender fills the mug and slides it down the bar. It hits the blonde woman's boobs and splashes all over them... The bartender goes over, retrieves the mug and licks the beer off her boobs. Each time the blonde calls for another beer this happens. So after the third beer, a guy decides to help the bartender out. The next time the bartender hit her boobs, the man jumps up and starts to lick her breasts and she decks him! He is laying on the floor moaning, 'Jeez lady... Why do you let the bartender do it?' 'Duh,' says the blonde, 'He has a licker license!'

A woman had 50 yard line tickets for the Super Bowl. As she sat down, a man came along and asked her if anyone is sitting in the seat next to her. "No," she said, "the seat is empty." "This is incredible," said the man. "Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the Super Bowl, the biggest sporting event in the world, and not use it?" Somberly, the woman says, "Well... the seat actually belongs to me. I was supposed to come here with my husband, but he passed away. This is the first Super Bowl we have not been to together since we got married in 1967." "Oh I'm sorry to hear that, that's terrible. But couldn't you find someone else - a friend or relative or even a neighbor to take the seat?" The woman shakes her head, "No, they're all at the funeral." Rob

The way I clean an oil bath air cleaner is to remove the housing from the truck and submerge it in a vat of diesel fuel and shake the filter assembly while it's submerged. Let it dwell in the fuel for 1/2 hour or so and periodically shake, or agitate it. This will loosen the oil and built up garbage from the metallic filter media. When the media is clean, let the assembly drain, then rinse with hot water in a deep sink until the water appears clean. I like oil bath air cleaners myself as I've never had any problems in dry, and dusty conditions. They work quite simply; the incoming air is drawn into the inlet tube and the inrushing air and particulate impacts the pool of clean oil sitting in the bottom pan with the heavy particles becoming instantly tackified, and trapped. This allows passage of cleaned air and minute particles to be drawn into the engine through the media material which is a wire mesh trapping the smaller solids. If the filter is serviced and maintained properly, they are very effective with air filtration. Dry element types are good also but as mentioned, expensive. Think I paid $55.00 for the one in the RL755L a few years ago. I replaced it because the truck didn't have a hood on the element housing, and water is unkind to the filter media. It was due for service anyway. Don't think I'd trust the "filter minder" type indicators either. I do have one truck, (winch truck) that has this type all the others with dry element filter use a manometer gauge in the dash calibrated in inches of water column. I think these are a Donaldson branded product and use an 1/4 inch plastic line to the filter housing to indicate filter restriction. Glenn is correct that a filter is good until it cannot pass enough air through it. A partially plugged air filter is actually more efficient at filtration than a new one. We've been told over 20 years to not "blow" a paper element filter clean with shop air as it breakes down the cellose composition paper used in these things. Rob

Ahhh, I see that I "rate" the deluxe accomodations. Certainly is better than "Momma" would let me have. Rob

Some really are twisted. Rob

Well the front deck is 10' so that would fit fine. I was considering a drom box of some sort actually but haven't progressed very far in the thought. The shop already has all that and HAS been used a few times in the past. In fact, my empty house that is colocated on the property could be used also. Rob
