Thanks for the compliments, guys. I guess I'm no longer "a pickup man", since "she thinks my tractor's sexy".
I spent a couple hours crawling around on it...like an ant on a bisquit. You guys know! I went over it checking for loose bolts, placing more tie wraps, etc. I do need to check tire pressures. Just getting familiar with it. Today, I will order the service/repair manual, (you can order from a few places online also, around $100), and will probably get a disk this week. I think the 4n1 was around $2000...I have to look at the invoice. I plan on using the tractor for food plots, etc. at my hunt club, (6500 acres), and a few odd jobs. We plan to buy some some acreage in the southern part of the state, where we will build our dream home and have some real elbow room. All part of the big plan. I have 6 years to go before retirement. I am a deliberate sort of person and planner by nature. We have been saving up and investing, and don't owe anything. Life can be a bowl of cherries...if you plan ahead, stay healthy, (don't smoke, etc), and control your environment as best as possible, (avoiding the dysfunctionals, ...especially at work... and elsewhere, etc).
