Wow, thanks for sharing the photos. That was a bugger to get out. I tell my operators one aw shi- erases all atta boys. I couldn't help noticing the buetiful mtns. and hills. You work in some rugged country, and do a good job of keeping up your equipment. Hope things go better the rest of the harvest.

It wasn't any fun at all. After I got it out and welded up the new crack in the frame one of the big 9750 STS combines had the main rotor lose the front bearing. So today I worked from 6:00 till 11:00 repairing it, and still managed to haul a quarter million pounds of wheat to the elevator!

Off to bed for me!!!

Man I miss Oregon... NC has lots of trees, and bugs... but not mountains and no sage brush country. Can't wait to get home again, those pictures make it worse...
