Your first TBN post?

Mine was also my first thread; I just got my loader back from the machine shop

I had to have it welded after the cross piece broke out. Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the 2 arms be parallel? The shop said they'd fix it if it's wrong, but felt that it wasOK, even though the pin bushings are at obvious angles to each other.

I hate to haul it 45 miles and try to muscle it back into palce only to find it's wrong. I probably should have brought the whole tractor down, but my trailer doesn't have brakes (yet), and had I gone 3 wereks without it, I'd be going through serious withdrawal by now.
Apparently I didn't know how to spell back then, either. o_O

I was just curious how others were storing tractor diesel. Wow, that was a decade before I retired.

You "joined" April 6th, 2000 per this website.


No doubt you have been here longer than I, but the search does go back at least that far.

Pretty amazing to look back into time ;)

It was kind of a "wow" for me when I read my old post that we had just bought our place the fall before. No kids, just me and the wife. First home I ever owned in my late 30's, and I really had no clue what I was doing. Kind of still don't 🤣

My dad didn't move in with us about 18 years later.

So I searched for posts I made before Oct 1, 2001 and the search came up empty.
First post I could find for you on my end...


Is it possible you were a "lurker", joined up and never really posted? Not certain why I could find Thomas's first post but not your own?

Honestly, it's not "fun" on my end looking at peoples "first" posts here because it really doesn't mean antyhing to me other than seeing some guys who I rememeber who are no longer here.

See my post above. Why my own post actually kind of brought back memories.

My first post was April 4, 2013. I didn't buy the Mahindra, and ended up with a Kubota L5740. I have since traded that 5740 for another 5740 with a cab, and I also now have a L6060.

Now I'm confused... you joined in 2005 and your Dad moved in 18 years later. Some quick math using all of my fingers and most of my toes tells me that he won't move in until 2023, or perhaps fall of 2022. :confused: o_O
