Hey Pat, good to see the new board is up and running. I missed the old one, and haven't check back until I saw in the magazine that you had a new one going, looks great.
You'll have to come up this way and shovel some corn for me again, lets see, if I remember right you just watched, it has been a long time.
That's what happens to you guys who restore these tractors. You spend so much time breathing paint fumes your memories get all foggy.
As I recall it, I showed an interested in how that grinder with the hydraulic auger motors worked, and that was my mistake. "See Pat, you shovel the corn in here and it comes out there - yeah, that's right, try again, you'll get the hang of it." I've shoveled enough corn in my life that I didn't need lessons in shoveling, but you had me heaving corn until I'd about emptied the wagon. "NO! Don't stop now, you'll burn up them motors - they're delicate! Keep shoveling!" Carol made a good dinner though, so it was worth it. That's how I remember it, anyway.
