    Now would be a good time for me to quit.

    I have fields that start at 1/2 acre to 20 acers. Might not find many kids that will work that long. It does take some time to change 92 blades. I park the mower over a small wall and sit in my chair in the shade of my pepper tree, and use my air wrench. not a bad job. Stan

    Now would be a good time for me to quit.

    After paying 97.00 to ger my 96 dodge V 10 tractor hauler to pass smog check. Then paying 347.00 and 184.00 fine because I was late sending in my license fee. Insurance for my truck, and liability insurance for my mowing work. I'm just about ready, after over 35 years cutting weeds to quit...

    Different mowing job

    Fairly hot today. I should be done mowing by now. I had a interesting request by one of my customers. HIs company owns an acre in a business park. I mowed it a couple months ago. The lot has a green grass area along the road about 200 ft. long 20 ft wide. His lot is full of gophers. The gophers...

    Now it's the birds after my figs.

    My garden has been a struggle the past few years. I finally got the rabbits and squirrels under control in my cucumber plants. My cucumbers have been the best in a lot of years. Big beautiful plants. I make a A frame about 6 ft high out of concrete wire. The plants climb right up with a little...

    Used oil.

    You guys burning used oil are all going to die someday. California is protecting us. It is against the law to burn used oil in our state. I am glad my state is watching out for me. Come to California and you will live linger. Stan

    Used oil.

    Years ago used oil wasn't a problem. Walk out beyond the shop and give it a toss. Used oil for me is a problem now. To save the planet, I started putting it in 55 drums. By the time I had at least two full drums, maybe 3? It took a lot of years to fill those drums. I found a company that came...

    Why did they do that?

    Be advised, not tractor related! I have a 65 Ford F100. All the freeze plugs need to be replaced, not a job I like doing, but it needs to be done. The freeze plugs are under the exhaust manifold. First problem is, all the manifold bolts have lock tabs. The upper ones are accessible, can't even...

    Update on Woods mower blades

    What is What isn't made in china anymore. I don't use my woods much since I have my flail mower. I use the flail mower if there may be rocks. My Flail mower doesn't like rocks. One thing I like about my Woods mower is, how easy it is to change blades. Stan

    Literature---1960's-80's New Holland Small Bale Balers

    New Holland small bailers from the 60's sure brings back some memories of farm life in the 60's for me. The old poke wire through stationery bailers, where wire was poked through dividers, by hand, on one side of the bale as it was coming out, and tied by a person on the other side were being...

    NEED HELP, NEW PROJECT (NOT A TRACTOR) - 110 year old Barn Find Studebaker

    I had two very old rake wheels with good wood spokes. Before I realized what had happened the wood was attacked by some wood boring insect, not termites. Now all I have is the iron center, and out side iron. Stan
