I did this thread last winter, but I see a lot of new names.mine means I own a J.D. 2 cylinder and a Allis WD pretty obvious .
 
Dunno what it means. Can tell you where I got it.
USN 1973
Isolated duty in Sardinia, Italy.
Living like dogs. Fresh water boiler blew out on the ship. Salt water showers. No hot chow. Nothing to do off hours except lay around in the dirt and drink warm Carlings Black Label beer straight off the pallet.
We were Super, Wonder, Big, Bad, Black, Smart, Hippy, Tippy, Greasy and a few others.
I was Ultra.
Still get calls from a couple of them.
How many years has it been?
Some things never change...
 
Ever spend so much on tractors they made you poor? What if it was a Massey Ferguson?

Answer yes to both questions and you too can become elligable to use MF Poor as your screen name.
 
I was shooting for a #4 between Crazy & Red. My handle would be a little more self explanitory, then. That's what I get for not proof-reading. May just shorten it to Crazy, one of these days. - Mike
 
When I joined the JD crawlers website I used my 420C's name for my handle. Some of you may have read the Richard Scary books to your kids ( Cars and Trucks and Things that go), one of his characters is named Lowly Worm, so when this rather sorry looking crawler followed me home one of my buddies looked at it and said "Well, it ain't no Caterpillar" and I said "No, it's a lowly worm". So his name became Lowly and I borrowed it for my handle.
 
My handle has nothing to do with drugs or drug use [sorry to disappoint]. Back in junior high, my brother and I were associated with the school basketball team. My brother was the 2nd-string center [he was 5'9" tall in the 8th grade, and only grew an inch thererafter] and I was one of the student managers who had to wash the uniforms and clean the basketballs and take the coach's verbal abuse when the team wasn't taking his abuse [he never had a kind word, even when the team was winning and playing nearly flawlessly].

One of the coach's requirements was that the people associated with his team get an extremely short haircut...either a burr [interesting enough, what the kids now call a "buzz cut"] or a flat-top [this would've been 1966-'67]. My brother chose to get a flat-top, and his teammates noticed he had an uncanny resmeblance to Woody Woodpecker's cartoon nemesis, Buzz Buzzard. So he was "Big Buzz," I was "Li'l Buzz," and together we were "the Buzz brothers."

In high school, I grew taller than my brother, so "Big Buzz" and "Li'l Buzz" no longer fit. So he became "Old Buzz," and I became "Buzzman". And I graduated high school in 1972.
 
Our shop tossed out Rusty Jones rust-proofing, so they tossed out two large advertising card-board figures of Rusty Jones. I took them home, and used them to advertise used lawn mowers, and eventually ol' Rusty Jones became my mentor!
And, that name stuck to me like glue! There are folks in the local Bluegrass music scene who don't know my real name! And, if they heard it, they probably would say:" Who's he?"
 
Worked the 3rd shift for years, we were called the spooks. My earlier name Easy, was registered by somebody. No biggie.
 
I've had a few, ihfan,big guy already had it on here, SuperA3, traded one off, then SuperA2, only have 2 left. Now I just use my initals and state, can't use what most people call me, pot filter etc.
 
On most lawnmowers throttles you have a rabbit for fast and a turtle for slow. Well my wife says I"m extra slow about getting things done, allthough I usually finish what I set out to do. Thus my speed is double low turtle. Kinda fits with my old ford tractor.
 
I live down in the SW corner of Missouri. About an inch from Arkansas and an inch and a half from Oklahoma. Your map may be different.
 
Was wondering that,I associated your handle to reflect you were in a saw mill trade

Now I know.
 
Initials on my tombstone; which, has been moved to a cemetery just up the road from me... It is still in Minnesota... Looks like I am "planted" here for good..

I had nothing to do with it!!
 
phillip is my last name minus the last letter,s,and d is the first letter in my first name,Dwayne Phillips,it leads people to think my name is Phillip somthing,maybe Dobson,Donaldson,Davidson ect. ect. lol.
 
I"ve been a livestock farmer most of my life and since farming is mostly a gamble It"s like rolling dice. I think that living on a cattle farm is almost paradise
 
Years ago I ran a shop rag & uniform route truck.
In the c-b radio days I used it as my handle.
So now I just put an X in it.

was given the nickname of pete when i was 3 days old because my neighbor thought i looked liked a pete. gone by that all 62 years of my life.
 
Flurette Farm is actually short for Petite Flurette Farm, which simply means “little flower farm” for the many little flowers that grow on this 250 Ozark acres. Some people call them weeds and in most cases they are but, I like them therefore I named the place after them.
 
Over the years I have either built or fixed up nearly everything that stands or moves on this farm, hence the name Fixerupper. Jim
 
Comes from a number of places. #1 years ago we had an OLD pony named old coal so I used part of her name.
#2 from where I learned a lot of what I know which was from people older then me.
#3 At times any more I sort of feel old even if I'm under 60
 
Stan - Florida is fairly straightforward, and also keeps me differentiated from 37Chief, although I was born in 1937.

An AOL screen name I sometimes use is Indillia, which stands for Indiana, Illinois and Iowa, the three states I really consider having lived in. Been if Florida for 32 years, but still miss the good ol" Midwest.

Seemed like a good description when I started following these forums (I"m clueless and nc mentis on other sites)...
I do try to be rational here, though, and I think I succeed...mostly...well, sometimes...
 
Guys, First name, middle initial, do not use my last name in my handle John Alfred Smith.....Hence then .....

Mine comes from a pickup I owned in high school. It was an Isuzu P'up and though it wasn't a diesel everyone called it a diesel and the name stuck. I wrecked it later my senior year but the name lives on.

First and middle name. probably shouldn't tell this but back in the CB days and looking for a handle my wife sez why don't you use Oatmeal cause you are always done in 3 minutes.
 
I used work in a womens long---ling--underpants factory as an inspector. I would put them on my head and say "deez il fit her".
 
when working on old trucks and old farm tracters in westen pa. most of the nuts are rusted to the bolts that Im trying to remove. seem I have had more rusted nuts since I hit 55.
 
I idolized my grandfather growing up, he was a real old-timer and I learned a lot of family and farming history from him. He often mentioned of a story from his one-room schoolhouse 1870's reading book Raub's Normal Fourth Reader, that he liked so much, of a farmer who went to visit the city, saw what it was like and came back home grateful of his simple country life; it was written in poetic form but he could only remember a couple of the lines, the story was called "Farmer John." I looked for about ten years in all the antique stores I came across and finally found a copy of the book and gave him the story for his 90th birthday. I also enjoyed the story and memorized it. My name is John and in memory of my grandfather and his heritage,...
 
According to the Urban dictionary a Hootis is what you call somthing when your not sure what else to call somthing.

I was the third Paul to show up on a job, somebody asked if I had a nickname, I said "no", and somebody else said "hey Hootis", that was 15 years ago.

Guess how many 504s are in the barn. That and every time the computer burps I have my Handel locked out from this site. I an on # 5 or 6.
 
Means I'm not ashamed of who I am. Honest, hard working, say what I believe in and don't have to hide behind a HANDLE. Never have never will.

Jim
 
They are my initials. When I had started here I was using my full name. I am 53 and live in Spooner WI.

I used to tell people that I was slow but intelligent. Now, I guess I am just slow.

If I were to use a nickname it might have something to do with red tractors or "CHINK".
A name that a kid gave me in grade school.
Steve
 
I"ve got a grey beard, and the wife calls me an
"old Goat", and the grand kids started calling me "greygoat"
