Thanks, Ray. I'll give that a try too.

 

Wow, I sure would like to know where all the damn money is coming from for all of the commercials that are being crammed down our throats by certain people nowadays. I just want to puke, but am addicted to television too.

 

Thanks, my dad would like to get a farmall I think he wants a 560??? I don't know for sure. But from what I've heard about my oliver is that if you had an oliver hydralic ram on a piece of farm equipment and you ran a wire from the Hyd. ram to the Hyd. levers. If you had the equipment at a depth and rasied it up when you wanted to lower the implment all you had to do was hit the lever and the implement would go back to the same depth it was just at. Thats the kind of technolgy that we have on out modern farm equipment! and this tractor was made 56 years ago. I guess Oliver tractors were always ahead of the pack when it came to technology. They were the first tractor manufacturer to use a 6 cylender engine in their tractors.

 

Are there any other home brewers out there? I brewed up a batch of american ale last week and just got done with a batch of pumpin ale.....I know sounds kid of.....well........not so good....but one would have to try it. It's really not that bad. Some I am going to give as christmas presents and the rest......well....

 

Yes, but look where they are today. It's even more true now, but marketing plays an important role in the future of a business or technology. Having the cash on hand to fight off the big boys also helps, since they don't like being threatened.

 

Just remember when you have something on the back to pick it up BEFORE turning! LOL

I learned how to drive a tractor on one like that... Afterwards we got to repair some fences!

 

I'm not a brewer, but I am a bit of a connoisseur. Not much of a fan of ales, honestly. I prefer lagers or pilsners. My all-time favorite beers are German Hefe-Weiss beers. Franziskaner or Paulaner are two of my most favorites ever...

 

Lagers are by far the cleanest tasting but they take awhile to make and christmas is coming way too fast for me to get them done in time......by the way it is more fun to consume than to brew......

 

Thanks gun man! You and Randy, well I'm not sure if I should introduce you two. I think he might leave me for you..lol

I've seen people who are better shooters at a distance than close range. Sorta strange.

Inspection..ahh..yes. Well I got excited too quickly. They are asking for some things, but they are all things I somewhat expected. My realtor needs to get some professionals in here to get some price quotes, so I know how much money I should throw at them! LOL! Well we're going to have to re-shingle the roof over the porch, and there are a few electrical issues, like upside down light sockets and the inspector didn't like a few other things. The inspection report was 30 pages long..and 80% of the stuff on there was total crap. For example, he put on there that my water heater was turned up too high. He noted tar on the inside of my swamp cooler and that there must have been "previous damage". Seriously? I'll update you guys once I know more.

Jacob - I like how your fuel filter cover turned out. I might have to do something similar, maybe in red. Mine is chipping paint all the chrome stuff is coming off and it looks like crap.

 

Shingling is EASY!

As for an upside own light socket, does that mean the bulb is facing towards the roof.. or how does that work?

I dont know what a swamp cooler is either, care to fill me in?

 

The things they are asking for aren't hard, they'll just involve money. They actually ignored most of the rediculous things that were included in that inspection, except for the things that are truly an issue..so it seems as though I am working with some level-headed people on the other end of the table.

Socket..well hard to explain, but on a three prong socket, they are supposed to be put in a certain way..i have a few that were installed upside down. Maybe if Jim sees this he can explain better. I'll have to hire an electrician to come in here and fix a few issues, no bones about it. Oh also I guess I have a few breakers that are "too big" for what they are being used for..

Swamp cooler - evaporative cooler. Dunno if you guys use those out there. Its just a big fan, basically, and it runs cold water through fiberous pads on each side of the fan, and as the fan draws air in, it circulates cold, wet air through the house. They are the preferred cooling method in places like Colorado because its so dry here.

 

One of the first anyway,think Oliver Hart-parr was in '35 IH had the 6 cyl WD40 in '34

 

Here are the ones we use in the military. It's about 6' tall. You simply hook up a garden hose, plug it in, and turn it on. There's a pump that lifts the water to the top of the "radiator" in the back, and in just runs down through this cardboard looking stuff. The big fan pulls the air through there cooling and humidifying it. When the reservoir gets low, more water is added from the garden hose. Only works in dry climates, of course. There you go... Everything you ever wanted to know about swamp coolers...

 

Izzy they had them in the flea market in Ft Myers seemed to work pretty good in Fla

 

You talking about the big flea market out in East Ft. Myers?? Been there... LOL...

I can't imagine them working that well there. I remember being actually COLD in Saudi with one of those blowing into a tent.
