Hass: All done and working well, took it out to mow off the worst looking ridges I left two days ago. Got admiring the job it was doing, made a wrong turn under the low end of the clothsline. That is only the second time I ever took down a clothsline in all the years I've owned tractors. Oh well, at least I know the mufler, exhaust pipe and manifold of the Super A are solid.

The last time I took down a clothsline was the winter of 76. I'd been to the village welder with 656, putting the finishing touches on a used cab I had just installed. Tractor had loader on it with 84" snow bucket. It was dark when I left for home and a friend asked me if I'd push some snow behind his house, that his regular plow guy couldn't get to. I plowed the snow and went home. about two days later I walked behind the 656, and here was what looked like 200' of clothsline wraped around the rear axles. I milked my cows that night, all the time wondering where that damn clothsline came from. As I went to the house for the night, it hit me. Called Brenton, and said, "Have you got a clothsline behind your house?" He said, Yes, but my wife doesn't use it in winter." I said, "Would it be convenient to take a peek out the back door, because I don't believe you have a clothsline anymore." He checked and sure enough, no clothsline.

I suppose at 65, two clothslines lifetime is not bad. I wonder how many other guys have taken out the clothsline with a tractor?
