Been busy picking up all the junker-tractors I bought over the winter. Went at got #2 yesterday. A Massey Fergson 202 with loader and Continental gas engine. This one runs, so no mishaps getting it off the trailer.
But, if anybody reading this is from central New York - have you been on the Interstate 88 lately going towards Binghamton? Holy cow, it's falling apart. I was doing 70 MPH with the trailer behind and had to quickly slow down to 40 MPH and still felt like I might lose control. For a fairly new highway, it's amazing to see how it's falling apart. It's real bad right around the area where two complete tractor trailer trucks disappeared a few years back and both drivers got killed. My trailer-ball lock pin broke and that's the first time I've ever seen that happen.
Got it home and my youngest son and my grand-daughter were very interested. That is . . . until I started the engine. Then my grand-daughter ran and hid by the John Deere 300B backhoe. Parial to Deere maybe?
Funny with the two kids hanging out with each other. My 6 year old boy is "Uncle Louis" to his 3 year old niece (my grand-daughter).
