Don't forget to put fuel in it.
LOL, very good advice!
A question for ya'll.
I was going to buy a couple new fuel cans just for diesel/tractor, though I only live about 1.5 miles from a fuel station. Would you bother with the cans or just drive the tractor down and fill it up when needed? I suspect I'll grab a can to have some fuel on hand for back in the woods, but seems silly to drive the truck with a can down to the station when it is the same as taking the tractor and not messing around with more cans.

Riptides, glad things are improving.

Never heard of doing that; sounds worth trying. Okra was my first money crop in my preteen years; used to cut it every other day and sold it to the grocery stores in Healdton, OK. I grew up with my mother cooking it, as someone else has said, cut, mixed with corn meal, and fried. But now, we buy it already cut and breaded, which is what most of the restaurants around here serve. I used to even like stewed okra, but my wife doesn't even want to think about that.:laughing:
But I am also quite fond of pickled okra and have a jar of this in the refrigerator right now.

Closest station to me is over 3 miles away on heavily traveled roads. So it's cans. I have 4, 5 gallon cans that I fill 2 times a year. My mower is also diesel. 1 1/2 miles is a long way away on a tractor when you have projects to do at home.LOL, very good advice!

Einthewoods, Tractor tires don't last like truck tires and you are no as safe on the road. IMO I would buy the cans.
Rip, Glad things are improving, praying they continue and that you get some outside time. Ed

Ethanol free is definitely going into the Super A. Premium unleaded is what it's going to get.
Simply because I can't get regular unleaded non ethanol easily nearby. Now with my new high power electronic ignition and coil blasting
extra volts into those oversize Autolite 386 plugs and igniting some good old fashioned premium fuel, oh yeah baby let's go....
It's what it says on the box so it must be true.
It was pretty cool seeing the tractor mostly back in shape (not that our Mostly has parts missing)
with all its new shiny parts somewhat jarring against the ancient fading and chipped red paint.
Sheet metal is all good, except for small part at bottom of radiator area on grill where a leak or standing water
rotted out something. Not hard to fix but looks fine to me.
If the tractor talks to me and says paint me, well, I will. But I don't think so. The old look with good insides
is just fine.
I have to do something about the seat. It's one inch of foam over a metal pan suspended by springs exactly like
those on a buckboard wagon. And the name buckboard is a fair indicator of its comfort level.

28 and looking at a high of 36 with a 30% chance of flurries. Wind WSW 16 gusting to 23 mph.
We've got a 'special' weather statement. This is Canada and Northern Ontario, snow is a fact of life, so I don't see why it should be a 'special weather statement'.
A Colorado low is headed our way with significant snowfall amounts accumulating 15-25cm (6-10"). That is for Monday, Monday night and Tuesday with some freezing rain. We'll see.
txdon;
that guy might be onto something.WARNING: Power AirFryer XL: POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD - YouTube
Our air fryer looks nothing like the one that burnt. Ours is mostly glass. When we cook there is ALWAYS someone in the kitchen. Two of us have extremely sensitive noses, myself included and can tell when electrical or anything else isn't right heat wise.
The game plan for today is to get some more wood into the basement so it can start drying out after having about 2' of snow on it and having been rained on for most of the fall. I wont burn that wood for at least two years. We've been running the oil furnace more this year than other years. So the wood pile isn't going down as fast this year.
I'm going to fire up the tractor and scrape the last of the snow from the past 3 or 4 days of skiff here and there off. That was in the plans before I looked at the weather forecast, now it is 'carved in stone'.
I will grease up the loader pins when I get done. (you can't have too much grease on the loader pins)
Stay safe all,

Used to go up Hone Quarry, Reddish knob, wifes paternal grandmother lived in Dayton,
Village inn was good food.
Wife has lots of relatives between broadway and Hburg. Some are Mennonite. Once sat thru a 2 hr mennonite wedding, in the summer, no AC. Half the people drove their horse and buggy.
Theres the Lincoln homestead on Rt 42 south of broadway, Abrahams grandfather lived there. At one time was a very large parcel of land. There's a Lincoln cemetary at Lacey Spring. Wife is a Lincoln, from brother of Abraham's dad's side.
Her dad helped build a lot of the flood control dams in the mountains, like at hone quarry, switzer, briery branch..
Sometime when I'm down visiting, will have to try to meet for breakfast.
