jd2,
You could have driven Fargo, spent that same money on fireworks, sent them into the dark sky, and not had anything for LIPF.
Your pocketbook will heal.

 

[RobRightmyer]

Totally jealous. Awesome.

 

[JohnRowehl]

OK, I tried looking it up. What does LIPF stand for ?

 

[Vito]

Wallets are never happy full or empty. Nice purchase

The money is irrelevant! It's gone forever. What matters is what you did with it!

It smarts a bit when I buy one, but after I have it, It's not for sale because I'd rather have the tractor than the money

Hey it's only money, they print more of it every day. Sounds really smooth and is in nice condition. Nice find!

jd2cyl,

Great tractor to purchase!!
Neat patriotic display. Love the sound a spud muffler (spark arrestor) makes!

From the mom/gma in me....
only use one hand to crank it - grasping the crank handle by cupping your hand only from underneath (with thumb NOT wrapped over the handle) and pull upward only to 12 o'clock position.
Repeat if needed to start it..
'Cuz iffen ya wrap your thumb over it and/or you use both hands - if she kicks back, she's gonna bite ya hard!! Could break your hand or arm. Which would not be any fun at all.

Nice machine, you’ll do well at the track with those racing slicks.

Yeppers! Broken bones aren't any fun at all (having broken one falling on ice).

Ron, I have been bugging him to get that 43B done so he can bring it to McIntosh for tractor day. His problem is that he doesn't have a good place for painting and the cottonwoods are a flying. Tom in Mn.
