    The Lottery - Anyone hit it?

    A friend of mine won $47,000, take home, on a queen of hearts drawing last week. A few years ago my wives card was drawn at another large($1.25 million) queen of hearts drawing. She changed her number and didn’t win. The next week the guy used her original number and won it. So if she hadn’t...

    Budweiser clydesdales accident at San Antonio rodeo

    Seems like they all had their tails but they were braided with ribbon, but I could be mistaken. I thought docking was a demonstration method where the horses would “dock” for unloading the cargo. I could be completely wrong here as well, just a guess.

    Budweiser clydesdales accident at San Antonio rodeo

    That’s pretty scary, those bad boys are huge! We had them at our warehouse once. They live very well, while they were at our place they stabled them where we parked our delivery trucks. I pulled in one day and one was looking right at me, his head was level with my tractor window. Their trailers...

    New Guy Intro

    Never heard the term farkle used until I got back into riding motorcycles. Does the tractor community use it as well? Guess you just did, so yes. And to the OP, welcome. Wish I would have bought mine sooner as well. Enjoy!

    Who here (as in OTT) would you most like to have a beer with?

    it could be the the rice adjunct they use in the Budweiser brands I’ve definitely heard that or something similar before. Other beers like MGD, Lite, coors, coors light, Busch, Busch light use corn as an adjunct. we enjoy a couple different local brewers weekly.

    Who here (as in OTT) would you most like to have a beer with?

    Absolutely, I do the same anytime I’m traveling. What’s funny is I worked in the beer business for 20 years, certified Cicerone server but still like typical macro beers; Busch, Budweiser etc. But favorite beers are red and brown ales as well as marzen (October fest). I do get a chuckle when...

    Who here (as in OTT) would you most like to have a beer with?

    I’d have a beer with any member here. Text or reading of text can often be misconstrued. Having a beer and talking face to face is a completely different thing and I would bet even with different views most here would get along fine. Just don’t tell me what kinda beer to drink, lol.

    Why does OTT hate Safari?

    My iPhone refreshes often as well. I think it did it 5x while trying to reply to a post last week. Loosing all of my text each time. Quite annoying.

    Went over to the red side.

    I agree that the grease gun is worth it. Greasing is one of my least favorite things to do, necessary evil but I hate it. I added the lock and lube, makes the task way faster and easier. I have a drill/ hammer drill combo, had it for 15 years or so, getting pretty tired but they’ve been through...

    Dumb Quick Hitch Question

    Im not sure I have a pic with the brush hog attached and i don’t recall it floating. I run the three point lever above the float position. When the finish mower is hooked up it will float as it has four wheels around the mower deck, lever is in the lowest/float position. Sorry I know thats not...

    What does the sticker on your vehicle say about you or what people may think about you

    No stickers for me. Unlike the the virtue signaling lefty in the Prius, covered in lefty propaganda. As well as the jacked up truck with every armament ever made, maga, don’t tread on me stickers. And let’s not forget the extra large Trump flag flying in a bed. I just shake my head at both.

    Dumb Quick Hitch Question

    Bushings for the bottom pins and one of these for the top instead of the hook. Makes life a lot simpler when changing implements.

    Did it again, broken fuel filter housing.

    Appreciate your reply, looks like I’ll be making this mod instead of building a guard. Have you had any issues with the air return that came off the top of the original fuel filter housing that goes back to the tank? So any air in your fuel system? Thanks

    Are you enjoying the weather change?

    Did it again, broken fuel filter housing.

    Well, I was out clearing some brush yesterday and something clipped the fuel filter housing and it broke. This happened the first time a few months after owning my L3800, about ten years ago. Of course this happened about as far away from the barn as I could get on my property. I had a pair of...

Wife on the other hand froze her butt off and from the looks of the other ladies in attendance they were cold as well. Turkeys were done, if you know what...

    Does anyone Collect Antique Cars?

    That’s a beautiful car. When I was a kid my grandfather had a used car dealership. He took in all kinds of things on trade and often when a car was traded that didn’t run or had been wrecked he would park them out back. He had a 66 or 67 mustang set aside in the garage. We were supposed to...

    'Fess Up'......mistakes you've made or close calls.......

    Nothing to major for me but I drove around some with the parking brake set when I first got my tractor. Also, while working in some heavy brush I broke off my fuel filter. Tractor just died and I had no idea why, so I kept cranking, duh…. Had to purge the air out of the system by unhooking the...
