Great ideas can spring from nowhere. You never know. I’m sure the OP understands any advice he receives here is worth exactly what he paid to receive.[emoji3] MoKelly

I guess stupid can backup a car and it’s all good but stupid can’t backup a mower. MoKelly

Good play on words. Identify as vaccinated.[emoji1] MoKelly

I believe the ones who lose in a Ponzi scheme are those who pay in expecting to get a return but never get their money back. Not those who actually get the money. So accepting the money is ok. The victims are those still standing once the scheme falls apart. I’m not saying FICA is a Ponzi...

Suzi Orman would say OK! MoKelly

Thanks! You are a learned man in history.[emoji106] MoKelly

Is Willy really Someone else reincarnated? A cajun? MoKelly

I never knew he died on tax day. Was there even a tax day back then? MoKelly

Welcome from Missouri. MoKelly

Ha! Childhood was great. MoKelly

Interesting. Now I guess you need to find out if the solenoid itself is defective or if some other issue caused the solenoid to do it’s job and shutoff the fuel supply. Good luck. Good job so far in getting to the bottom of the issue. MoKelly

So, how does buying luxury items shrink the money supply? Do only “stupid high prices” reduce the money supply or do all purchases reduce money supply? Does buying tractor implements reduce the money supply? MoKelly

The plywood may cost more than a new mattress these days! MoKelly

You remember the town your 2nd grade girlfriend moved 60 years ago? [emoji23] I guess she made quite an impression on you! MoKelly

This is your answer. MoKelly

Unless the dealer sells that brand, I would highly doubt they are allowed (or want) to do warranty repairs. Can a Chevy dealer do warranty work on a Cadillac? MoKelly

My parents bought our first house for $13,000 in 1960. My tractor cost way more than that in 2000. But then again, that was 40 years difference. Ever look at what your first real job salary was v today? That is the good thing!!! MoKelly

Talk about being cranky, I heard today the US is suspending giving the J&J vaccine due to potential issues. Not reassuring. Luckily, I got another brand. MoKelly

We grill probably 2x week in decent weather. I’m using a bbq set (knife, fork, tongs, flat blade thingy and wire brush) we got from the realtor when we sold a house a while back. It’s perfect for our basic cooking level. There is no brand name on the set - just the realtors name and company...

Wow. 6 months out to get a vehicle. I assume not much discount if someone orders a vehicle and is willing to wait 6 months. No wonder the stock market is at record levels in many industries. Perhaps companies are learning. MoKelly

Have you looked at all the safety features? When it doesn’t start, does it crank or is there nothing? Does the engine stop in the middle of working or will it not restart after you turn it off for a break? MoKelly

Holy cow. Lumpy was 71 in 2013! Makes me feel really old today.[emoji1] MoKelly

Like the old song goes —- “God is great, beer is good - and people are crazy”. Plus - some are quite well off apparently! MoKelly

Yes. Same effect as reading books. Nowadays, I’m afraid there is too much watching TV, movies and videos —- which is seeing other people’s imagination. Not your imagination. If kids read more they have better imaginations. MoKelly

Now that is funny. I especially like the Easter and Christmas comment - made me laugh out loud. MoKelly

Just my opinion. I have learned over the years once we bought our farm. I began trying to find equipment that covered lots of tasks. Bought inexpensive stuff. Bad decisions. I have learned: - buy quality stuff. It lasts, it starts, it works when you need it to work. - buy the right tool. A...

I agree with a previous poster - high likelihood it’s related to PTO safety switch. The tractor was forced to stop with the PTO going. That can create issues. I’d check are recheck that the tractor believes the PTO is disengaged. MoKelly

Retailers who keep the same % markup are making lots more money. Assume 50% markup. Retailer buys lumber for $100 sells for $150. Makes $50. Retailer buys lumber for $200 sells for $300. Makes $100. Retailers always keep their percent markup the same and make much more money. But claim they...

I hope so. Most of our friends had no reactions. But, I did have a doctor say “reactions” show that the vaccine is working. Oh well. Nothing we can do. MoKelly

Two more heavyweight boxers dying quite young. MoKelly

My wife and I got both shots roughly 4 weeks apart. No effect at all other than sore arm. Nothing. Made us wonder if the thing was effective! MoKelly

Welcome from Missouri. MoKelly

None at our feeder yet - we put it out on Easter. We had lots last year. MoKelly

I guess I’m missing out on the fun - I don’t have any sliding doors!!! [emoji44] MoKelly

I’ve never seen a white squirrel before either. So neat. Thanks for sharing. MoKelly

I have seen a marked downswing in their service lately. Sometimes they arrive very late - sometimes not at all. Yesterday the mail was soaking wet - like it was dropped in a puddle. MoKelly

Did anyone ever use White Rabbit Easter Egg dye? I remember that even to this day. MoKelly

Yes - maybe even more than some responsibility. The manufacturer selects their dealers. The manufacturer sets the standards under which the deal operates. The dealer is the only interaction a manufacturer has with customers. Dealers are critically important. MoKelly

I see how you worked this into the topic theme! Good job! MoKelly

I actually got his tweet a few weeks ago. MoKelly

I’m with you. But, I’m afraid, it’ll never be the same. MoKelly

Isn’t that a Billy Joel song?[emoji3] Well - sorry - I didn’t read the posts that followed.☹️ MoKelly

I guess there is no rule against “rubbing it in”!!![emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] MoKelly

Willie Stargell was a very good player. I remember when Keith Hernandez of the Cardinals and Willie Stargell shared the 1979 MVP in the NL. Only time ever it was a tie. The Cardinals and Yankees are the only teams to have had a player win the MVP award at each position. MoKelly

Welcome to TBN from Missouri. When I got my Bobcat from the dealer it had 6 hours on the meter. I’m not sure what is “normal” for new tractors delivered but in my opinion 12 hours doesn’t make it used. Was it dirty and scuffed like it had been worked or was it nice and shiny like it had only...

The Command on my zero turn is at 750 hours and still good. It’s outlasted a seat, 2 front tires and 3 sets of blades! Not to mention belts and filters. MoKelly

Well - I learned my one thing today. I had never heard of a thermistor before. Never. And I’m 65 years old. Thanks. MoKelly

Thanks for reporting this news. It’s a big deal. The guy was one of the last surviving persons who fought in WW2. MoKelly

Ha! This is what consultants call a “win-win” situation.[emoji3][emoji3] MoKelly

Pajamas? MoKelly

So: - yes - banks will require home buyers to make a down payment. It doesn’t necessarily have to be 20%. However, if you pay less than 20% most banks will require you buy mortgage insurance that protects the bank if you default and the value of the home falls such that you are underwater...

Welcome from Missouri. I’m sure you’ll get great advice here from Massey owners. MoKelly

Even the Raiders left Oakland and California! For the desert no less. MoKelly

I always believed gun control folks would eventually move from trying to make guns go away to making ammo go away. Looks like that may be happening. MoKelly

Ha!!! Peavey Mart is the new name as Peavey Industries owned TSC. They are “rebranding” the stores with their corporate name. I assume the TSC name was not all that valuable. But Peavey is much better than Pervie!!![emoji28] MoKelly

Our neighbors are all really good about stuff. One neighbor is a very skilled welder and has helped me out quite a bit. We rarely “borrow” anything - we tend to come over and help complete the task. This let’s us learn from each other. The only thing we really “borrow” is to allow each other to...

I am guessing there is an issue with the HST pedal linkage. Maybe it was damaged somehow during the stump issue or when removing the bent part. Look at the linkage and see if there is anything wrong. Good luck. MoKelly

I am very sorry. I had a cousin with pancreatic cancer. She lived 4 years after the diagnosis. Unfortunately, pancreatic cancer is really bad. When my cousin got it, in 2016, the doctors said around 7% survive more than 5 years. Hopefully that number is way higher now. Chemo is tough. My wife...

That happens quite often - not just by State Farm. For some reason (risk) insurance companies don’t want anything to do with wood stoves in unoccupied living areas - like garages, shops, barns. If it’s in a living area, a stove is OK. If in a non-living area - no go. MoKelly

Welcome from Missouri. MoKelly

Chimneys? MoKelly

Sheesh. Glad I don’t live there. MoKelly

There is no shortage. MoKelly

That was world domination. US domination is but a few short years away. MoKelly

Can you guys still bar-b-q? I read California was prohibiting such stuff due to the smoke. Crazy. MoKelly

I had a Agri-fab tow behind 48 inch brush hog. It was wonderful. I could take it into the trails easy - places I’d never take the tractor. It was a pull start and after a few years the pull start assembly started falling apart. I kept fixing and it’d fall apart again. Finally got a new assembly...

Not many I agree. Most folks probably are not even employed in total for 55 years! I worked for the same company for 30 years - and worked in total (full time) 42 years. MoKelly

Well - you really only need a bed, chair and table. Anything more is excess! MoKelly

Ms. Thatcher was not cast very complementary in Netflix series The Crown. Speaking of which, just review the life of Queen Elizabeth for a few minutes. Holy Cow! That lady has seen everything. MoKelly

Worst places I’ve driven are Mexico City and Israel (anywhere). If you are not crazy aggressive driving you are stuck in the same place all day! MoKelly

My guess —- as long as people watch and they make money. MoKelly

Welcome from Missouri. MoKelly

Yes —- I can open both files. MoKelly

I believe MythBusters did a study - based on old movie scenes of someone tossing a cigarette into a spilt pool of gas. Caveat - don’t try at home! MoKelly

My guess —- I can’t imagine he paid the bill just because MaBell said he had to pay. I’m guessing he didn’t pay and MaBell either went to court or decided not to fight. If MaBell won in court the contractor declared bankruptcy and left town. There was a reason he was uninsured. MoKelly

Oh my - you made my soda cone out!!! Very good!!! MoKelly

Wow. Good for you. I can’t calculate in my head the % higher amount I pay!!! I won’t use a calculator either because I don’t want to know.[emoji23] MoKelly

Saw your correction after my post - sorry. MoKelly

You mean $9,999? No red flags there! MoKelly

This shows a very steady (but increasing) rate of home ownership in the US. It’s higher than I would have guessed. MoKelly

Hopefully your property taxes are not based on Zillow estimates.[emoji44] MoKelly

I think there are a good number of folks who are “equity rich” and “cash poor”. MoKelly

Ha yes. Try driving in Mexico City and the USA is like Sunday morning. MoKelly

Nice picture. Sure looks like it did a great job for you. MoKelly

My guess is he got it from here: Based on crashes per mile driven. MoKelly

Welcome from Missouri. MoKelly

I wonder if you had invested that money last year in ammo v land, would have done even better?[emoji23] MoKelly

Coming soon to a theater near you -- planet of the raccoons! MoKelly

There must be money to be made in smaller tractors. Never heard of the partner. MoKelly

But —- only if leverage is involved. Selling stock is a little different. MoKelly

Welcome from Missouri. MoKelly

Lots of banks around here require that as well - one transaction. MoKelly

Only 16 states allow pet raccoons. Indiana is one of them. Missouri is not. MoKelly

Don’t forget the stock market impact. Fortunes have been made by simply investing in the S&P 500. If you were into tech stocks it’s a fortune x 2. And you didn’t even need to be smart. My kids, when in teens, HAD to have Apple stuff. Anything with an Apple logo was gold. Not only my kids, but...

I believe the folks from Austria were here to go to college. After college - with a degree - they went back home to work v work here in a professional capacity. The folks you mention are not as fortunate. They come and do manual labor. Not the same. MoKelly

Tough way to quit smoking!!! MoKelly

That is quite interesting. Is it because competition in US is harder for them than back in Austria? MoKelly

Cute. My dog does NOT like anything put on him. Once he had his picture taken like this —- After he told me “no more”. I agreed. MoKelly

So, did it ever taste good??? Do you recommend beef or chicken with good gasoline? [emoji23][emoji23] MoKelly

You better know the law and even more than that —- you better know what you are doing. The first principal of heath care is “do no harm”. If you are not trained (but play one on TV) there is a good chance in a major injury situation you will do harm. I’m not talking about giving someone a...

MoKelly

I think you are correct. Around here, most bank lobbies are still closed. You need an appointment to go inside. All other stores, restaurants, clubs, etc want folks to come. Not banks. They want calls. Many branches are permanently closed. It’s too easy for them to get money from Fed at zero...

I carry a store bought first aid kit. I’d only use it for me or my family. I would never begin to treat someone else. First, I have no idea if I’d be helping or hurting. Second, the possible liability is significant. MoKelly

Do you have a gauge to check compression when you pull start? That can tell you if it’s an internal issue. Good luck. MoKelly

Don’t try pouring 6 week old gas onto a brush fire. You will quickly find out how not so worthless it flares up and causes damage. Seriously. MoKelly

Congrats! That is a nice mower. I think you’ll be very happy for a long time. MoKelly

I guess the best gate is a gate that keeps folks from ever entering your property. MoKelly

Unfortunately - you are correct. It’s a sad commentary. MoKelly

My wife tells me whenever I say stuff like that —- “Everyone and no one listens to you - and everyone is on vacation”. [emoji23] MoKelly

Wow. Lots of heavy hitters. MoKelly

Texas is hoping they stop in Nevada. MoKelly

Yes. Smaller boats with outboards can navigate. MoKelly

This is my son and his dog, Jax. It was a great day today so we walked to the river. Our property line goes to the middle of the river as far as you can see. MoKelly

Join the club. It’s ok here.[emoji3] MoKelly

Ha!! I thought I was the only one who had 4.5 gallon cans. MoKelly

I admire your perseverance. This will probably help someone else down the road. MoKelly

Welcome from Missouri. Good luck on your problem. MoKelly

Not a chance. The elites who know better than you have never done anything outside. They don’t even know where to find a farm. MoKelly

Looked up Harvey. Didn’t know about him. Little bit strange. MoKelly

Congrats. I’ve been married 29 years May 2. Time flies like no business! MoKelly

Happy Easter. The unofficial start to spring! MoKelly

Yes. It’s all in play. It’s all double and possibly triple taxation. MoKelly

I believe Bobcat skid steer company bought Bob Cat mower company. MoKelly

You are correct. Your response reminded me of when a company I worked for was acquired by a larger company. The new CEO came in and had meetings with employees. Every time he talked about making changes from our way to his new way, he’d say “don’t worry. It’s not wrong or right, it’s just...

You all must live in Florida. I’ve never seen such large birds except in Florida. Some do remind me of dinosaurs! MoKelly

I agree with the curved shaft trimmer. Not sure why that is even a thing. Perhaps because it’s lighter? MoKelly

Welcome from Missouri. Good luck on your search. MoKelly

My grandmother was born in Austria. Maiden name of Kohler. Came to USA when she was 6 years old. She loved to eat German food but was very good at Italian food. As she got older the German food was just too heavy. MoKelly

Good for you. Looks great. Have a restful Easter. MoKelly

For those like me, who didn’t know what antipodean meant- Amazing what you can learn on a tractor forum![emoji3] MoKelly

Will George be the CEO? MoKelly

I’m guessing OP took them down. Maybe all the talk about wetland designation was concerning so he left - and took the pictures. MoKelly

Ha! We are 1005 miles to our place in Florida. At 70mph that takes 14.5 hours. BUT - we have to go through Atlanta. That place is crazy nuts with traffic. 24/7. Crazy. 100 miles out it’s traffic jam. Me and the puppy are seniors. We don’t see great at night to drive. We need to stop often to...

You have good points: - yes - dog is Irish. Green is his color. Sometimes he will wear his neck bandana - it’s green. - yes - dog should be in Florida with us. But, I’m not comfortable with him flying. The airline says he is too big to be in cabin with us. But: - high office German Shepard...

It is estimated these folks have pledged $600 billion to charity. MoKelly

Welcome from Missouri. MoKelly

Around here, if you admit you have been exposed to someone who tested positive, you cannot get the vaccine for 14 days after exposure and you must test negative. MoKelly

I’m afraid work riding a mower or on a tractor is not the most effective for me at loosing weight. Now, maybe, if I used the walk behind more. MoKelly

In this case, I’m not cheap. My dog and cat get spoiled on lots of things. However, neither will agree to wear clothes. Both say animals are meant to be naked. Poor dog was once left with a friend who keeps dogs when people go on vacation. Got this in the email while we were in Florida: I...

Yes. That is it. MoKelly

I would never do such a thing - even though a 6 foot bunny would be a little disconcerting. However, in full disclosure, my grandmother (who was a saint) used to love hassenfeffer. She was also the best cook I ever knew. MoKelly

I had to look up justifier. Thought maybe it had to do with truth, justice and the American way. But, life goes forward and tomorrow is Easter. MoKelly

I could never get my dog to pose like that! The support looks very scary. MoKelly

Someone once told me I needed to be aware of my environmental footprint. I kept looking at my shoes and the impressions in the ground. Dead trees are meant to be cut down. Otherwise they may fall on someone. Also, I figure if you have enough life insurance the kids use that to pay taxes snd...

34 waist. Show off!!![emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] MoKelly

On the positive side, he seems to have placed the material so an equal amount extends right and left! MoKelly

A possible explanation - Machines are like women. They don’t work so well when neglected. But, show some attention and buy them new stuff, and they perk up and are happy! Just a joke! I’m glad it is working properly again. MoKelly

Ha! What do you call a society when all the citizens work for the government? MoKelly

By the way - nice dog in the background! He seems pleased. MoKelly

Even a broken clock is correct twice a day. MoKelly

Yes - Menards! Thanks. MoKelly

Envy is one of the seven deadly sins. MoKelly

Hummm - I use tp to dry. MoKelly

MoKelly

Yep. I read where Scott claims they were the first company to put tp on a roll. MoKelly

I still remember when he came to STL in 1999. It may have been the biggest day ever for St. Louis. What an event. A Pope in our city! He was a great Pope. MoKelly

Welcome to TBN from Missouri. I hate all things electrical in a tractor. So, when you turn the key on you get nothing - no dash lights, no clicking trying to start no anything? Have you tried to jump start using a car or charger? I think I’d try that to see if you get power. You did all I...

Congrats. Mower looks great. Good luck. MoKelly

The Office was a funny show. MoKelly

Something I learned many many many years ago. Principal is your pal. Principal of a school. Principle is the other word. [emoji3] MoKelly

Ha. You made me laugh. Good story. MoKelly

Yes! I forgot about the “death” tax!!! Great point. MoKelly

I use North Star 8 gallon. I like it. My recommendation is to take sprayer inside for winter. I’m pretty sure the pump had water and froze my 2nd year. That was in the barn. I replaced pump and it’s been working well for 4 years now. I use it a lot in Spring/early summer then in Fall. I put it...

Well, you could of fooled me. MoKelly

I’m afraid that is a huge assumption that looks less and less likely each day. MoKelly

This is excellent advice. MoKelly

Yea - I’m a tad worried about him. Even with a huge lead he couldn’t go 5 and get the win. He didn’t have a great spring. But, like you say, it’s only the first game and it was chilly. MoKelly

Yes. Live in the moment and stop worrying about the future. Easier said. But true. MoKelly

Perfect picture. Made me smile. MoKelly

Yikes! Now I am a drug addict with a Vice. Better get another cup of coffee! MoKelly

Ha. All the modern folks I know hire out all that “messy” stuff. Yard work. Tree trimming/removal. Leaves. Most modern folks don’t even own work clothes. MoKelly

My Cardinals beat the Reds on opening day (we were in Cincy)! Real opening day in STL (which is a holiday) is next Thursday. Good luck to your guys this season. I’ll go for a Cardinals v Orioles World Series!! The Orioles began as the St. Louis Browns many years ago. MoKelly

Coffee! A Vice!!! I may be in trouble.[emoji477]️[emoji477]️[emoji477]️[emoji477]️ MoKelly

I wonder what the purchase price NT paid for Jack’s? If over $92 million NT had to file a Hart Scott Rodino to show the merger did not limit competition. Jack’s was probably not worth $92 million plus. MoKelly

How about Old Mill’s? Not sure where I got them but they last a long time. Some are lined and warm. MoKelly

There are lots if clever folks out there![emoji3] That’s funny. MoKelly

Or too early! MoKelly

Looked it up —- Abbey Road. MoKelly

Thanks for sharing. I have used Jack’s quite a bit for small engine parts. Hope their website stays the same. MoKelly

With the current price of lumber, reproducing pallets may be the new goose that laid the golden egg!! MoKelly

Ha! That’s a good one. From an album cover? MoKelly

They might still be reading your email to try to understand. Not everyone can comprehend coonazz![emoji28]. Be patient. MoKelly

Seems like they could use some good old fashion accounting and inventory controls! [emoji18] MoKelly

Ha! Good one.[emoji3] Better to feel good than look good. MoKelly

Yes!!! There is no way that load isn’t falling off 10 feet after they get moving forward. MoKelly

Wow. Those look good. To have survived I assume you do not have teen age boys.[emoji3] MoKelly

Nope. MoKelly

Welcome from Missouri. MoKelly

Good luck and congrats. Let us know what you think after using it awhile. MoKelly

I guess I won’t complain anymore having to go back to the basement to get a forgot tool. I hate steps! MoKelly

Great post! I was thinking along those same lines. MoKelly

That is one nasty looking stump cutter on the rear!!! MoKelly

Agree. I paid $3999 for it 10 or so years ago. It’s been very loyal. I’m still using it but it has seen better days. MoKelly

Ha! I have the same thing with a bird and my 2 story porch. She likes her nest in a small cove at the very top. Knock it down - puts it back up x 5! Persistent thing. Who will give up first!! Next time I knock it down I’m spraying wasp killer. Maybe the smell will be a deterrent. MoKelly

Welcome from Missouri. MoKelly

OK - now that was funny![emoji28] MoKelly

I believe if you do work it’s like contributing to the IRA. It’s complicated. The Custodian would have to let you know that answer. MoKelly

You are correct. The SDIRA cannot pay you or any of your relatives for managing the property or making repairs or any activity at all. You cannot live in the property nor can any relatives. You must hire independent folks to do all work. MoKelly
