Good Morning Ted, Thanks Ted, Next time up I will get some work in on the arms !

Good Morning AlbertC, LouNy has it right ! When I am mowing through thick stuff and am pulling a steeper hill, I will drop down one gear and that usually takes care of it. As some one mentioned, you dont want to slip the clutch !

Good Morning, Vt, 35 to start going to 49 ! We had quite a good amount of rain last night and Kathleen and I stood on our porch with our accent lights on watching it come down ! We originally were going to have a campfire but between the cold and then the rain we settled for some porch time...

Good Afternoon Lou, Lou, yes indeed ! One of my favorite things to look at when we are going west towards Lake George or Glens Falls are the modern locks, which I’m sure you have gone over route 149 etc ! I’m always fascinated by them !

Good Morning, Ct,50 to start going to 73 ! Another beautiful fall day on tap ! Although I’m sitting in Walgreens waiting for my Covid shot along with the flu shot ! 😉 GM, Wngsprd in Ct they have seen fit to charge all the Eversource electric customers an additional rate for those that can’t or...

Good Morning Sportsman, I did mention the weight of my old Massey Ferguson 1040 in a previous post ! I don’t think weight is the most important thing when selecting a tractor but it is a factor ! I would put my tractor with AG tires against any similar rated HP machine on dirt or in the field...

Good Evening Frits, Frits, have you thought about making a plug using a hole saw ! A 2 1/8” hole saw should give you a plug close to 2” OD !! Then if there is a slight gap you could use a good wood putty or sealer and then paint ! JMO

Good Morning Fordguy23, The Massey 1648 is one heck of a lot more tractor than you have with the 1020 ! Also your parts availability is going to grow exponentially ! I have the MF 1040 for the past 20 plus years and it has been a great tractor. But you are correct on parts availability. I will...
