All Right now! Ya coulda went all day without bringing that sore point up. :>)

Yep, I'm ashamed to tell ya 'bout my little ventures into this subject. :>(

It is like when you were young and some old cowboy was workin' ya over in the corner of the bar.

When he quits kickin' and poundin' on ya, it still hurts, but it feels so darned good when he finally gets tired and decides to stop. :>)

Ya Allan, you got a boatload of money in those thirty year old tractors, but they're now brand new with the work you've had done to them. And where else could you get a 100 hp tractor, WITH a bit of nostalgia, for about $14,000.00. I'll guarantee you'd spend twice that for a new plastic tractor with about 14 miles of wiring to and from the stupid computer. That's like me and my 806/M's. Sure I put about $4000.00 in them with all the add-ons, but I have a 60 something year old tractor with live power, three point, wide front, power steering, and an old tractor to boot, and about half what a modern space capsule with big wheels would be. I'll stick to the old ones. I can work on them without having to go back to electronics school to change the ampacity on the tri-directional voltage ampisitor to the diodes that run the ground sensors for the terrain reading modems mounted in the rear cabin of the vehicle. Git-er-done, Harley
