I drove down to Cedarburg/Jackson today (started from Lakeland College between Plymouth and Sheboygan where my fiance goes)and met Paul Puestow and got a set of fuel tank fenders for my 1855. I traded him several sets of my 3 pt balls for them because he was having the same troubles as quite a few other guys have, including myself, with the balls turning to mush after a season or 2 he also remembered me mentioning on here that I was looking for a bigger field cultivator to put behind the 18 and he said he had a friend with one to sell. Made the treck over there and looked at it, it was a 18' Oliver 245 with a whole mix of different size sweeps, some good more worn, and not much paint left on it. I think I got it for a little more than scrap price, so I think I did alright. I stopped at Fleet Farm in Plymouth on the way home and picked up 10 new sweeps for it, then after spending another couple hours with my fiance back at Lakeland I drove home. I put on just over 200 miles for the whole thing, got 2 things I was looking for and put another face on another YT'er. Lets see, so far thanks to YT I've gotten front weights and a spare tire for the 18 from MikeO, got the tanks and cultivator from Paul, some spring teeth from Nebraska Cowman, hooked up with a great source of sickle parts for our Hesston by Allen in Ne if I remember right, and I don't know how many other connections I've made over the years.... This really is a great site for people to chat and say "Hey, I've got whatcha need!!" Donovan from Wisconsin
