What did you do to your tractor today?

My shifter has been in the middle......
Ever since birth

OK, you must be experienced if .. since birth. :laughing:
But still, don't you hesitate which hand to engage a gear with? :confused2:

I drove a Scania 141 drawbar rig for a while which was left hand drive (I'm used to right hand drive in UK) it took a lot of thinking about at first to use the ten speed box with my left hand after years of doing it with my right hand

What happened to the old one

Lets just say it had something to do with the deluxe grill guard not being here yet. The new grapple is a great device! But....... even the most careful of us can jam limbs through the grill when moving large piles of brush.

Yes, that's exactly what I was talking about (beside lilranch2001 humor). I still sometimes need to take a look at the shifter's scheme while engaging a gear on a tractor, although I'm driving different vehicles from 1976.

BTW keeping to the subject: meanwhile, I'm overhauling my tractor's engine. Waiting for the parts from a dealer. Nothing done for for today.

Yesterday afternoon - took delivery, did walkthrough with dealer, drove around the driveway and lane for about 5 minutes, folded ROPS down, parked in garage. Ran to one of my daughters basketball games; came home and read every manual cover to cover.

Tonight - Hopefully pick up trailer and other attachments, get them home, find a place to park the trailer and put the attachments until everything dries up. Hopefully will finish organizing resting places for everthing this weekend including grading a spot out back to park the trailer.

Good looking grader blade. The hydraulic at the back to move it up and down?

Yes, that is to move the weels up and down.

But that isn't the only thing you can do with it, you can convert it to this:

Meaning of a conversion is that you may change a blade into different one?

But I've noticed in your profile you have 3pt Bucket. Is it factory or home made? Can you show a pic of it?
