</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Well nuthin wrong with either. I grew up on the old Ford and Massey's on my friends farm. <font color="red"> * </font> the telephone only came in black. You did have a choice of wall or desk mount tho. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif )</font>

============
This must have been around the forties and fifties.
<font color="red"> * </font> But it didn't have a crank on it did it! The phone I was refuring to goes back farther than that one.It was wall mounted & had a wodden cabnet.
To use it you lifted the receiver hanging on the left side and spun the crank on the right side with your right hand.

Heheheh I used to love coming outta the cowfield... I'd get on the short stretch of hwy between the field and like clockwork some yahoo would be on my butt...

I got to where I used to take it slow till I seen them coming... then I'd juice it....

I remember this one mustang with some dumb woman in it who came about 10 feet off my 3PH... I goosed the tractor and flung a sticky cow turd on her windshield...

She turned on her wipers and it was nothing but a big brown streak!!!

She had to pull off on the side of the road cause she couldn't see... I laughed so hard I bout fell off the dern tractor!!!

I would not worry about it, around here farm tractors are constantly leaving mud on the roads, not much they can do about it and we learn to live with it.

You mean they make roads out of something other than mud? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Maybe tomorrow before I finish for the day I will go out and run the road at top speed to see if I can fling the clay off.

Around here I have no problem with the dirt sticking to the tires, for some reason the glacial till just falls right off. Of course it doesn't grow much besides thistle and berries.

I do stack the manure every few weeks and that does stick to the tires quite well, then I just drive the perimeter trail to get the bulk of it off. I figure in about 10 years the perimeter will have topsoil. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Well I tried the fling method. The dirt/gravel road was dry and wasn't adding to the muddy tires so I put her in top gear and full rpm and ran back and forth on that dirt/gravel road. Lots of mud flung off but deep in the tread the mud remained. It doesn't seem right to go that fast on a tractor. Now I've got mud flung up and stuck to parts of the tractor that used to be pretty clean like the tops of fenders and such. You just can't win.
