Did the buggered up skid plate hang in the log?

Very true! I know a few people that never make any mistakes for that very reason. Some of them can even tell you all about your mistakes too.

Good judgement comes from experience. Experience generally comes from bad judgement.

Preach on.

Just reading your replies I'm certain that you'll have your tractor back up and running. I look forward to hearing about all it when you're done.

I live in Alabama. And by the way screw "Roll Tide". I am an Auburn fan. I always said that if the university of Alabama played again a team coached by ***** Bin Laden and the players were Taliban I would be in the stands screaming "Go Taliban!!!!!!"

LMAO......:laughing:
Some may be be to young to remember the Blue/Gray Bowel of yesteryear; many of us had same passion....
sorry to interrupt our scheduled programming but wanted to interject some commentary of my old Ft. Benning days.....go taliban....that there be funny:laughing:

Glad the OP is safe and on the mend.

I vote the following to steps.
1- Call tow/dealer for the right equipment to mitigate any further unforeseen damage. PTO still connected and the lower arms, hate to see any force exerted on them.

2- Have dealer give it the once over to make sure it still remains a sound machine for you. If you have tools and skills great, if not dealer work is just a lot of peace of mind.

All the best to your future endeavors....

An update. Neighbor with JD 5030, 3 qty 4 wheelers with wives, daughters, boyfriends, beagle and 3 coolers of beer came over. Tractor is upright and now pulled into shed where it will sit for 2 weeks before I can make it up to farm again. Then I will pull glow plugs and begin slow process to see if damaged.

Amazing that they did all the work AND provided the beer. All agree that God took care of me that I am still alive. Life is good!

Good deal! Now you can look forward to tractoring another day.
As an aside; tonight I was out with my backblade smoothing out between the trees in my little orchard when I dropped the downhill rear tire into a hole. This thread popped into my head so I reached down and fastened my seat belt. It wasn't an Oh-S moment, but I try to avoid those.

Good thing!
