    The cost of getting old

    My numbers often go higher than the meter can register. A1C often very high as well. Passing kidney stones from time to time are lotsa fun too.

    Just rereading through the old posts, noticed don't know my own age. I made myself out to be older than I really am at 94. I've discovered I'm 92. Feeling like a spring chicken in Nov. "The More You Know".

    Problem with BXpanded thumb

    Trimley. I'm detecting a "Swinger". Looks to be lots of Green & Yellow" in the background there. The "Orange" family may wish to advise somewhere along the way, reform, to see the "JD" error of your ways, dig an early implement grave using your own big "Toothy". RIP "JD".

    Problem with BXpanded thumb

    Problem with BXpanded thumb

    Could it be that the model you purchased designed to also work with their bucket quick connect system? which requires that longer pin included with your purchase.

    I had looked into a new hood & side panels from several Northeast "stealers". I want to say last spring. Also looked into new plastic fenders as they're cracked everywhere. I recall at the time they quoted me $2300 for the hood & side panels, while the rear fenders $2500. I haven't given up the...

    Well, being such a nice day (warm 70s), &, talk of BX & repairs, caused me to go back out, cut me a couple pc's of tin from old roofing leftovers, no real measurement to speak of.

    I too have the plastic hood arrangement. Here's several shots of a fix for the moment, as I'd like to keep intact helping to keep heavy snows out. Others may wish to visit the hardware store pickup a small roll of metal strapping. The holes are correct size for the knobs to pass through. Myself...

"Better yet. let someone else handle the tractor, among other mechanical chores". "Other than that Scott, for your age, relatively in good health". I guess on a good...
