Yea Its been a while
Well Im still kicking, Joe called me the other day and we had a real nice talk. Yea I dont post much any more, find FB to be faster and easier to read at times. Work keeps me real busy. In the last year they gave me the 2 biggest house accounts to deal with as far as mantance and keeping them in parts. The one company is mowing around 800 properties a week the other 600. I just got one fleet out and working on the other.
The boys are losing intrest in tractors fast. Being replaced with soccer and robotics for Vince, and Danny, well hes still raising hell any way he can. We still mess with tractors a little as the 3 of us. I took an idea from Timmy and Don and put 26 12 12 and super front wheels on Vinces 582. Took the hydro out of the 2072 and put in a gear drive and almost done with the pump for it. My 1872 is the go to tractor for about everything. The 106 is getting a NOS short block this weekend.
Got me a bigger lathe, making stuff for my little wheel horse, it may be done the day before I die, but worked on it 3 times this winter so thats a good start. Im really enjoying the lathe work. I have to make all new bushinges for my neighbors back hoe. Its slap worn out but its just used on the farm, so it ok. Had to repower my welder a few weeks back, rod bolt let loose, rod came threw the block. Frank came over and hung out with me for a day while I put it in.
so carry on I do lurk every now and then. Still think this is the best bunch of guys on the web!

It's good to hear from you Vince. You know I was just thinking about you the day before yesterday while reading the Forum.
Probably because it's ten degrees here and your not
