Jinman,

It's still raining and it rained all night. Just checked the guage and we have 3 1/4".

Last night about 1700 we headed south to Mineola and it looked like the bottom was falling out down there and nothing happening to the north. When we got to the new Mexican restaurant in town it was still pouring and we got a little wet getting in the door, but I enjoyed my dash thru the drops.
When we left it rained on us all the way home, then rained fairly slow an steady all night then about 0600 the sky really opened up.

FG,

Careful Foreman, There will be a time when some cowboy says the same thing about your wife!:laughing: Wait until she gets out of nursing school (Gotta love a girl in uniform)

Still a steady drizzle, this has been just the perfect rain, slow and steady. .76 in the gauge, so my food plot and the bag of rye I put out up on the hill should start well.

Jim, hate to bust your "bubble" brother, BUT after you lost power last night, Bird and I felt we could do something to "lift your spirits", Soooo, we went over last night and added 1.8" to your rain gauge!!

 

[Bird]

I got sleepy and went to bed last night before 9 o'clock, but my wife tells me we had a power outage, so she missed the last of the Rangers game.:laughing: Apparently it didn't last long. And my rain gauge has now gone over 2" and still raining. It's wonderful.

So, my grandson and I were standing at the door staring toward the rain gage this morning before sun-up. It's about 20' from the door across a very wet deck. I couldn't see it, but he said it had 2" in it. I scoffed and laughed at him because I was sure we didn't get that much. So, he goes and gets a flashlight and shines it on the gage. Sure enough, it's at 2". WOW!!

Same problem here. We use binoculars to see what's in the gauge plus I inked the inch marks.
All set to go to TSC and get Rotella on sale for $30 till Sunday but called my NH dealer to see if he had engine oil and hydraulic filters for both my tractors. He said:"sure we ought to have them." So I told him to check the shelf not the computer as I didn't want to drive all the way in there for nothin. Sure enough, he didn't have one for the CNH 4020.
Supposed to be in next week, but I will call to make sure before going. The few bucks saved on the Rotella wouldn't pay for the gas to get there.
Called NAPA and they don't even list the 4020 in their catalog.
A couple years ago the oil and hydraulic filter total for the CNH was $70 at the dealer. I about switched to a toilet paper filter, but used the last roll for emergency wipe, when hearing that filter price..

Do any of you buy your tractor filters at other than the original equipment dealer?

Ron, I use NAPA also, but they only carry the oil filter. The hydraulic filter and fuel bowl I have to get from the dealer, but my H filter is less than $20

WOW!!! It's still rainin' cats & dogs 0920 4 5/8". Had to empty the guage as it was almost full. I had almost forgotten how, when it rains in East Texas it can really rain.
