JS: I know but Larry and I don't like kissing up to the banker, or down. I have seen just as many new tractors parked in the field waiting for parts as older ones. Just last year I saw one of those 8 wheel Deere's with a 46' cultivator, parked in the middle of a half tilled field. A service truck came and went several times. The dead Deere stayed for 36 hours. Another one came and tilled around it, then a 16 row planter planted around it. Finally after 36 hours it left and a guy with JD 4000 and 3 point cultivator and a 4 row planter did a patch up of the 2 acres the Deere and cultivator occupied. These guys must have been used to this, having the 4000 and equipment around. Give me a 25 year old tractor with a good maintainence program and breakdowns will be less than the new. I have seen a lot more tractors less than 5 years old down in the past ten years than ever before in my life. I doesn't matter whether it's tractors, trucks or cars. In the 60s and 70s I owned 4 cars, 5 trucks and 5 tractors that were never seen by the dealer after the day they were new. You try that with this electronic junk of today.

It is a common practice when opening calipers by this means to tap the top of the joint. It is better, if possible, to tap the inside of the legs, as repeated blo
