Seems old Sweeper is gonna go in for by-pass surgery in the AM (Friday). Guess the pullin' pressure's done got to him as he started having pains after the pull at Ripley this past week-end. Either that or he saw all the attention Mr. Ben was getting from the ladies after his "balloon job" and Sweeper got jealous.

Will be wishing the best for him and hope he's back in action soon....Spotter

Hey Sweeper...We wish you a speedy recovery and don't worry about that "green blood stuff", I think it will turn IH Red after mixed. From our Ozark Mountain Hillbilly friends.

Saw Mrs.Sweeper and family at 11 a.m. All went great with the surgery. Jim should be in his room at Baptist East in Memphis by early this afternoon.

The rumor was the doctors used green blood instead of IH red. We will find out when he cranks his M and it runs on 2 cylinders!

I know the family appreciates all the prayers said for Jim.

Sweeper is having triple by-pass surgery Friday morning. He has 95%, 70%, 50% blockage. The Doc said that he is lucky to be here. He has been having mini-heart attacks for a few weeks (at least 3). He wants everyone to know that whilest he is laying around, he is gonna be figuring out how to get that "M" further down the track. He says that when he returns, he is gonna make up for lost pullin time.

On the serious side, we appreciate everyone's prayers. Jim has alot of good friends and he will need all of your support. He wants me to bring my computer to him tonight so he can write to ya'll before the surgery. He will be in Baptist East Hospital for at least 6 to 7 days.

Thanks again,
John

Please give us an update on Sweeper today. We're praying for him and wishing him a speedy recovery.

Tell him Lamont, (previously pulling heavy with a 930 Case), is getting his Case 700 ready to challenge that hot M. It's on its way as soon as my back gets healed up.

I'm coming after you too CONFEDERATE !!! Thanks for grinding my cam. I hope you didn't sabotage me.

Best wishes from Pops, Aunt Esther, Rahlo, and Shady Grady.

Lamont

Sweeper knows we are all praying for him and will be glad when he"s back in the saddle of the ole "m" for I"ve have even started staying after I get through pulling and watch him and his arch rival that J D 820 Diesel pull those heavy classes they are the show even if it is after midnight here lately. Me and my large sons and my honey bunny will be to see you.
