Art,
They never have, but I have to agree with ya! Run what ya brung! LETS DO IT!

Local guy says no rain Wed. & Thurs., 30% on Friday, and sunny Sat.

We'll watch how it pans out, but if we don't get any "extra" rain, we will probably be OK.

Dave,

No sled this year.

Charlie- Working cheap, and cheap work are two different things!

We will be at PD rain, shine or snow (in Charlie's Almanac). But I don't want to go mud bogging with the newly refurbished 1872...

 

[digger]

I may be cheap, but I ain't easy, grin

Hah! Got heavy-duty sleeve-hitch adapter made... the weakest link is the lower 3-point plate- I'm using the stock U-shaped IHCC piece, but only one (of the two) brackets. Don't really like that, but don't think I've got enough time to make something better. We'll see if I break it... :-}

Hmmm... no sled, eh? Wonder what we could rig up...

Steve:
I'm coming down Friday rain or shine. I've got stuff to deliver for you, Art & Gimpy. And I can't make the rain date due to business obligations.
The last time we were at your place it was just a bit muddy to start and it worked out OK.

Dave K:
No offense, Dave, but you're putting 10hp and limited 'tractive effort' to work here. Methinks you won't bend the U-bracket too severely. )
Keith

Dave-
I'll second Keith, unles you're weighted down to over 1200# and are able to plow at full throttle, then hit a rock as big as a house, you're not bending the lower 3-point bracket.

The only reason there is a second bracket out there; the channel bracket for the IH rear blade/rake combo, is so that there's more material there if you hit the end of the 41" blade in a worst case scenario.

Granted, I do have one on my 169, I know I don't need it, but it's my personal preference to put the lower pins in double shear, having clearance-fit pins in single shear just looked sloppy to me.

 

[rmull]

Keith & Wyatt-
Yeah, that's what I was thinking...10hp..hydro..tractorive efforts..single shear sheep pens.

Art-
Muh-ha-ha!

 

[till]

Kurt the flying squirrel,

It will depend on who is buying.

Isn't McMeen buying at Petro?? He has his Original for sale you know........oops, maybe that's to raise $$$ to buy the lady a ring!!

Hey SB......get the tarp from Wrigley field to cover the PD ground for us. The Cubs are NOT using it!!! HA!!

Question for the electric heads......the CCO # 522 I picked up has a 12V system with + ground. Starts and runs great. Was IH really experimenting on the CCO or is this fluke?

 

[sblunier]

This isn't looking much better folks....

Friday: A 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 73. Breezy, with a southeast wind between 11 and 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph.

Friday Night: Showers and thunderstorms likely. Chance of precipitation is 70%. Mostly cloudy and breezy, with a low around 56.

Saturday: A 30 percent chance of showers before noon. Partly cloudy, with a high near 66.



<font size="+2">IF....BIG IF</font> we moved to the rain date (30th), what would that do for attendance???? Please post thoughts/concerns, etc.

<font size="+2">No Decision has been made yet</font>


BTW, Last time we did this with rain on Friday we didn't have rain and gloomy crap to deal with the first part of the week.

Ken-
If the S/G is "normal" wouldn't that make it work like it was made for a Cub Cadet that we're familiar with.

(for those that don't follow, Cub Cadet's starter-generators are wired "backwards" since they work off the PTO end of the Kohler versus the flywheel end)

Steve-
I'd still show up on the 30th.

 

[mschwartz]

O.K. I have a question. I'm interested in this geezer garage and lounge, when do i get access to that if ever? If age is the matter what age will i be waiting for for access? Just wondering. MJS

The wife bought me a new Bumper sticker,

 

[aaytay]

I say, "Rain or Shine"...

 

[digger]

What Art just said!
23rd or nothin!

 

[bmcmeen]

Matt S. -

You got a girlfriend, you don't need to get in the Garage. When ya get married, THEN you'll need it...

 

[kmcconaughey]

I agree with Art and Charlie, lets go for the 23rd. But then I won't be bringing a plow tractor just a video camera and a digital camera.
