• Photos and whining. Yeah I'm sort of back. Health issues and sort of burnt out also. Without getting into all the laundry list one of the bigger issues is having to use a walker now. Can't even stand up without it. Somewhat sucks, but at least I'm not laying in bed wired up *PIC*
  • Nothing wrong with a walker!😂 *NM*
  • Just happy to see you here!!!!!
  • Glad you're still looking at daisies and not pushing them. In your photo you were a cute kid, what happened? lol *NM*
    • I ask myself that often. *NM*
  • Wayne, I feel your pain... I now need to use a cane to help steady myself.... Has slowed down my progress taking show pics considerably.... Digging that scratch built circus wagon. I bought Dad a set of Revell circus wagons for his toy collection years ago....
    • Doc build some really nice stuff. Hand carved elephants was one of his specialities. Wish I'd got a couple off of him. *NM*
  • Glad to see you back!! *NM*
  • The wheel spread on the 8N is usually to accommodate wider rows--fronts appear to be likewise. Oddly, the tread is reverse--the "V" shape is usually the other way. Cool PIX! *NM*
    • Because they turned the wheels inside-out. *NM*
      • All noted, but never seen rows that wide. Was thinking maybe they were usuing it to drag a harrow and wanted the wheels on the outside. *NM*
  • Great pics! That Porsche coffee tractor looks like it's ready for a run at Bonneville! :-) *NM*
    • It's a variation of an orchard tractor with eveything tucked in and covered to keep from snagging limbs. Also they used a gas motor instead of diesel to keep the fumes off the beans. *NM*
      • Very neat! Thanks for the context, I learned something today! *NM*
  • Interesting stories and photos. I too drove a Ford tractor as a kid helping collect maple sap for my uncle's sugarbush. Glad you are back *NM*
  • Glad you're still kickin' Wayne! Some interesting pics there! *NM*
  • FYI Chris Hale moved to Bullhead City, AZ several years ago, in case anyone is interested. *NM*
  • Great pics! Good thing we can remind you that you haven't been forgotten while you can still hear it :) *NM*
