o/t what does your handle mean?

Mine isn't nearly that complicated. Essentially the deeres that I have are mine, Pat'sdeere. I came up with it before I had multiple deeres.
 
"oldgreen" is my handle, has nothing to do with either of my tractors, you see, "oldgreen" is my 1946 Chevrolet 3/4 ton pickup that I've been driving for the last 44 years !! I just finished re-painting it in the original green with black fenders and I'm now repainting the dash and interior...it looks mighty "spiffy" ! I use it to climb trees, pull houses off their foundation, you know, all the "hard stuff" !!
Cheers ! Jim B.
 
I was braindead and couldn't come up eithr a unique or decent name. There was a dollar bill on the desk. It stuck.

It could also signify how much money we all have left in our pockets after either:

1. Farming
2. Working on these antiques

Either story works ;-)
 
Well I'm gettin Old, My Mother never liked me, so My middle name is Leroy. I always hated it so bad that rather than using first or last name I use half of the middle. ¿ ¿
 
IH red paint.

I still remember how excited I was when I saw dad"s new bright red "66 806 Wheatland when I was 4.5... and how we rolled over many miles, riding double, with his "49 C (which is now mine).
 
Because I am willing to take responsibility for my own actions and posting, I post my email which has my name in it. Pretty straight forward.
 
I started out on YT as ScottyNY. Then I took a job out in Ohio. I opined over on Tales whtehter I ought to change my handle to ScottyOH, which was actually something that one could pronounce. It was about that same time that YT allowed you to register and lock up a handle and somebody got ahead of me for ScottyNY, so I had to come up with something else anyway. One of our favorite reprobates over there suggested that we mix the letters for OH and NY around a little and I could be ScottyHONeY, which I was for a while. Then I got done in Ohio and moved to Maine, so we changed the letters and the capitalization of same around to get to ScottyHOMEy.
 
I started out here in the late 90's as DC Dale as I have a '48 Case DC . I grew tired of that one , and was Dale B,for my '48 John Deere 'B' for a long time , but I didn't register it .and Somebody took it , and so I became Dalex, I better hurry up and register that one !!
 
Well the first meaning is from farming too much gumbo that rarely farms well and the other meaning is "busting" the bad ideas from Marxist political thinkers, the "clods." All in good fun and jest.
 
My handle came from the type of work I do and the easiet way to get to my web site . Larrythedozerguy.com .....
Its kinda basic and boring , but it gets the job done :lol:
 
used to have a couple of circular sawmills. Wanted a quick easy handle to write. That was before names were registered & printed in the reply box for you.
 
Someone took my "Hayman" handle so I took 02 partly 'cause I used to be a stock car racer (tho my racing number was 73) and partly 'cause I know there's always somebody bigger,smaller,meaner,nicer,smarter,richer,etc than me.
 
Not hard to figure out Idaho Spud: duh I'am from Idaho and proud of it.Last of the free states at least for a while.
 
When I first met my father-in-law, he said he thought I was a half bubble off plum. I told him he was crazy. We were good friends from then on.
He passed away in '01. I really miss him.
 
Ron Berry in South Carolina. Grew up on a sea island farm a little different than most. Surrounded by lots of history. I never cared for farming when I was young but I loved to work on tractors. Dad let me rebuild the engine in our 800 ford when I was about 12 {He helped a little}. 40 years later I have my own 800.

Back a few years ago, I had a thing for John Deere M tractors. I had several, and was always on the lookout for more, along with any of the attachments John Deere made for the M's. Well, my wife started referring to me as the "M Nut". The name stuck, but the tractors didn't! Got into other things and I sold all of the M's and equipment.
 
Grew up poor....

Grew up on Massey Fergusons.

Spent WAY too much money on MY MF's

Some people seem to think I'm an "MF" of another type.

So the rest is history.
 
Related to what my area of the country is known for, "Franklin County -- The Moonshine Capitol of the World."
 
I used the handle Easyirv, then Easy, then Easy1, kept losing the names for some reason. Finally registered as Spook, because I worked the 3rd shift, also known as the graveyard shift, so I was a spook in the factory. Now I am a spook looking for work.... My name is Irv.
 
Pretty straight forward, my name is John and I live in Ohio. I couldn't come up with anything creative at the time.
 
Guess where I'm from? Not very original, but I'm not a very original thinking guy. Met a lot of great folks on this site, no matter what their handles.
Paul
 
I like to know where every one is from. And when I started here I liked the handles with their location. CAUSE THEN I KNEW were they were from.

Thus I used IaGary.

Probably should have used a capital A behind the I.

But I think everyone knows where I am from by know.

The name explains itself. The only thing new around here is my wife's car. Everything else needs some rejuvenating to keep it young. Jim
 
If you figured out Paul, mine ought to be easy!
Used to just use Ray, but there were several other Rays who came by, So I added the last initial.

I"ve had a beard, now grey, for 40 years, and
the wife has been calling me "old goat" for
almost that long. The grand kids picked up on
that and I became "greygoat"
 
The last job I had for 9 yrs. before retiring 2 years ago was as a custodian/maintenence man for a small retail chain. The manager of the main store where I worked was a little bald headed fellow named "Bob". I'm a rather burly bald headed fellow and my name is also "Bob". Fellow employees hung the name "Mr. Bob" on me as to distinguish me from the manager named "Bob'.. I liked it, thusly I chose it for my "handle".
 
When I first posted on here, I had a broken wrench laying on my desk waiting for the tool truck to show up.. I did the trick of locking two wrenches together and snapped the box end off one.
 
Mine started as a joke by a close friend,I'm not Polish. He used to call me that just to bust my chops. He's gone now and I'm proud to use this handle in his memory. I will never forget the time we spent fishing together, especially with my kids when they were little. Jf

How did you do it? Modify something else, or made everything from scratch just smaller?

Very neat.

When I was working in the oil field during the natural gas exploration boom of the late 70's / early 80's, the rigs were made by Skytop Bruster, and since my name was Bruce it was easier for the rig hands to remember me by that moniker.
 
Mine is an acronym of the initials of J.I.Case which I grew up around and now collect. I did not think of it however. Jay-Eye-See was the name of a black gelding Mr Case bought in 1880 that went on to set records as a pacer that stood for 60 yrs.

I"m a numbers guy and I grew up on a Cockshutt 550, however, 550 is a cross-color designation - 550 Oliver and 550 Ford. I now have Cockshutt 550, 540 and Oliver 550 and maybe Ford 550 hoe someday.
OH, and my name is Doug from Ontario, Canada.
 
Just means it's me posting....or that I wasn't clever enough to come up with something better.
 
jd2wd,
Interesting post. I've often wondered about some of the handles. As for me, my intials plus my Ford 755 TLB is what got me interested in this site. Of course, I think OLD is lying. He's probably just plain "old" or "old and cranky". :wink: Just kidding, old. BTW, my wife thinks I should use "old fa*t" as my handle as that's what she and the kids mostly call me. :?
 
This question got me to thinking, how long have I been one here anyway? Wow, November of 2001 and 4150 posts... Hmmmm, I might should have been working more and online less all these years.

kyhayman: a Kentucky hay man. I've always aimed to build a web site around it, went so far as registering it as a trademark but I cant seem to meet the demand I've got without any more advertising so that idea has stayed on the back burner. When I picked it I was struggling between deciding if I wanted to cut back on cows and go forward with hay or cut back on hay and go forward in cows. I'd finanlly hung up my tobacco knife and decided that the time was right to bite the bullet and change my tobacco barns to hay barns.
 
NE is where my homestead is. Minnesota is where my home is now. NEsota was first thing that popped into my head, little thought went into it.
 
Interesting- Back before I took the "kinder and gentler" pledge, I was known to chide a few trolls on here, under the moniker Gentle Ben. Not for years, tho.

Mine's obvious- Mike from Washington- I'm a little too left-brained for my own good. (That's the analytical side, right? Memory is another of my problems).
 
Pretty easy to understand mine... I farm (full-time, for a living) and only drive Fords... tractors, cars, and truck. (OK, my combine is a pre-merger New Holland, but it does have a Ford diesel in it!)

There's a line from an old song or poem or something that my dad used to quote, when referring to a deadbeat (present company excepted, of course)- "I'm Dollar Bill from over the hill, never worked and I never will."
 
I've always heard that if you post your email address online, you'll get caught by automated address searching software, and become the brunt of every email scam that comes down the pike. What's been your experience on that?
 
Almost accused you of wrongly calling your car a "rat rod"- its a little too nice for that- but you must have been referring to the huffed rat motor. Nice rig. Makes me wish I'd have bought more Exxon stock back in the day! LOL
 
In the late 90's when I first started doing the internet thing I was building a antique pulling tractor that I was going to call Chances Are. So I used Chances R for short, and then decided to use it as my handle. My cb and ebay handle is Hand - Cranker.
 
From my best friend-my dog, best loving animal there was. Past away a couple years a go. Found her in a side ditch as a pup, about a month later was hit by a car, survived with 2 broken legs and a crushed ear. Thus we named her lucky. Lucky to be alive, lucky to have us to care for her. NW IN. is where I live. Bill
 

Sounds like Cols, Ohio..!!
"Byers" used to deliver 'Shine into Cols from just South of me..! The Shutes had a pretty productive Still there..!!

Mine came from my time in "The Bush" of VietNam, also Door-Gunning in a UH-1H and the Bush-Hogging and mowing I do with the JD's and AC..

Ron..
 

Mine's very creative, first initial and last name.
When I first got on this board I used Bguy, as I was mainly interested in and collected JD model Bs, so in some circles I was known as the "B guy".
 
The song Patio Lanterns by Kim Mitchell. And my name is Pat. It"s the only play on words my feeble mind could come up with on short notice.
 
I was in the service and they called me doc. I showed up in a cast for the third time in about a year and they started calling me dangerdoc. But I'm not so dangerous anymore.
 
When I was a pup, I worked for Coors and Coors would buy us dinner when we worked OT.

Everyone would order hambugers but me, so the guys gave me the nickname that stuck for 40yrs plus...lol

When my first grandson was born, I told family I was too young to be called Grandpa or something like that. I was 60 at the time. When the grandchild started talking he started calling me "Tractorman". I added the NC so you know where I'm from.

I know that this post has been here for a couple of days but I couldn't pass up being part of one of the longest threads I've ever seen. Here in Australia we have a habit of taking a name (in this case my last name), chopping the end off it and adding an o or ie. Burno sounds lame so I'm stuck with Burnie. My wife hates it and Burnie is not allowed in the house.
 
Luckydog, Where in NW In do you live? I am originally from Lake Station (East Gary), but I have been in West Tn. for about 14 years. doorman
My handle is what I do for a living. I repair and install automatic doors, such as the ones at grocery stores.
