They have an M21 in Texas I believe. Not a brilliant idea.

Did you notice 11 of them were "lost."

As I recall, not one of them was shot down from enemy fire.

been calling around getting prices to repair or have new custom rods built for hydraulic cylinders on a compact 4x4 diesel tractor, got a price over the phone of 220 to 280 dollars per ram to have new custom rods made, counter guy highly recommended i bring the cylinders or the whole damn tractor by since they are not removed from the tractor yet..... mind you there is 4 bad cylinders so it = a whole Lotta money.

sadly kubota says the parts are now obsolete, so custom repairing of the old cylinders, or custom fabrication work to make a generic cylinders work. i may still have a ace up my sleeve! i need to call messicks farm equipment back in Pennsylvania, there website lists the rods and a price! not none in stock..... need to call and see what my chances are of getting the parts i need.

thankfully! i don't own the tractor, the neighbor next door does. free labor or severe cut throat labor rate is good for him and good for me, as he always says i am welcome to borrow the tractor anytime i need it


P.S. i know you guys will hound me for pictures LOL! ill make sure to get some Saturday.

That's correct. Wonder what happens to the other 11.

I recall the other one had a wet bar...

On another topic, just sent the Mom's some flowers via FTD. Highly effective for Sunday's visit or call...

Unfortunately, my mother is no longer living, so I don't need to send flowers.

That's the craziest looking trailer I've ever seen. You mean someone actually hauled that into a campground?

Looks like something McGiver would trailer.

What?

It's a "One of a kind, custom!!!"

That alone makes it special.

Sounds like that ad must be your's.

It's okay to admit it but the price seems a little high.

Also, how many tires does this guy carry? It looks like spares on each side.

I don't know, $350 sounds reasonable to me. Looks cool in a quirky sort of way.

Yeah, it's mine. All mine. Your jealousy is showing.

Oh, those tires are dock bumpers. I forgot to mention that it floats too.

I think Jim's on his way down as we speak.

There's lots of lakes up by him and I'm sure he'll be showing off that beauty.
