Re: I figured it out
<font color=blue>if FOPS is just a hard hat (HH) or something more permanently attached (to CUT, not my head)</font color=blue>
[img]/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif[/img]Either one ought to qualify.[img]/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif[/img] But as a "tractor" term, I think it's usually a 4 post supported canopy.

Re: I figured it out
No offense taken. I knew you were joking and maybe my joke back was too dry. I apologize as well if that wasn't clear.

Re: I figured it out
I'm still trying to figure out how "Boomer" relates to New Holland. Do they explode or something?

Re: I figured it out
Oldcrusty, Worked in telecom since 73, I REALLY know what you mean. I believe it is worse than the military. On the boomers thing, not sure I would want to own one called that

heck no .... a boomer is what they call a chain tightener back in Western Canada ... so I assumed they called the CUT a "Boomer" since they tightened the chain enough to make it turn blue ...

Well, since New Holland used to be Ford... and Ford made the Pinto... and Pintos would explode when hit in the rear... maybe that's the connection...
Seriously, I have no idea. [img]/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif[/img]
