    How do you thank em?

    Some people do good things for ....well.... just because. Not for money not for gifts but just because. If it's been done that many times then it must be fun for him. If ya want it to stop then I'm guessing pay him. Then it's not fun anymore.

    This could get complicated. Around here we have farmers that place liquid fertilizer in row or at the side and this is generally starter fertilizer. We have a couple of guys that put down 120 units of N and Thio but broadcast their Map or dap and potash in the fall. Potash is a mobile nutrient...

    Bolt style wide front wishbone on 77 RC bolt diameter

    I just bought a wide front for an 88 RC. A 1 1/16 inch wrench fits the bolt. I didn't try the nut. My two cents says 1 1/16 fine thread.

    A big sigh

    Needed diesel fuel for the pickup last night and stopped at the usual and WOW $371.9. I'm sure its that bad all over but I did manage to fine a Station in Cedar Rapids, Iowa that was $3.25.9. Still 75 bucks on the old credit card didn't fill it. Sad. I just hope its not junk Diesel. Battled...
