Good morning WA F'ers...Happy Sunday!!! We woke up this morning and it's still white...that warm rain never came yesterday. We'll get rid of it fairly soon though as we'll see upper 40s early this week.

Hope y'all have a great day!!!

Joyous Sunday morning Washington, Tim, Wayne, Ken, Steve and all the crew. Yesterday was a nice day but on the cold side but in the afternoon the clouds cleared out, sun came out and we made 51°. But today Ma Nature is being Fridged and started the day at 22° but sunny and maybe we will reach 58°. We will see!!

Wayne, once again you have some impressive pictures! You should collect your pictures, ordered them, wright a brief comment about each and publish them!

Good morning crew of Ford Fans from far and wide.

Well, it looks to be a nice day out West also Ken. We started the day at 35° headed to 56° they say.

I'm preparing to do the 400-hour service on my tractor. I priced all the filters and 1 gallon of transmission oil at the Kubota dealer last week, just under $400 bucks. I think he priced one I don't need but WOW that's a lot of money. That doesn't include the engine oil or the gear oil for the front end.

Evening Tim. That seems like quite a bit for what you mentioned. Imagine the cost if they were doing it! Are they all Dealer only stuff?

Steve, Probably not dealer only, but since I only change them or at least most of the filter every several years I want to use genuine Kubota filter. The dealer has been really good to me, so I don't mind spending a little extra from time to time.

Evening Tim. I agree, OEM parts are usually better than most aftermarket offerings.

Happy Happy Hump Day Washington, Tim, Steve, Wayne, Ken and all the crew. Hope everyone has a great day as the Humper and not the Humpy!
The Soothsayers crystal ball says partly sunny and about 60° today in my woods.

Have a good day doing Tractor servicing!

Good morning Washington,

I got all the filters for the tractor, now just waiting for warmer weather. It's not that cold but at 37°, I'm retired I don't have to work outside if I don't want to. It will be here tomorrow. LOL

Evening Tim, I definitely agree with that frame of mind! I got a new bushing today in the mail to put in the clutch pedal of my Ford tractor, but I really prefer starting those jobs earlier in the day than after the mail comes at about 2:30 pm. I am usually started to run out of gas that time of day!
