Hi KB,

Yep, we are in the process of gettin' another place just to go out and scratch around on & raise a few cows; sometimes, I think I'm too old for this! :>)

The fellow who owns the shop works with his two sons. He had nothing to do with the tractor on this last go around other than talk to the owner on the phone, because the two sons made all of the service calls trying to get her started for the owner.

When I went by there today, there sits this nice looking old 966 with a new loader on it, so I'm thinkin' to myself, "Wonder if that's the stuck one" and promptly go inside.

Only one of the sons is there 'cause they back off a little on the workload on Fridays. Anyway, I get to talking to the guy and ask him if that is my tractor....He says yes, that's it and that "Boy, dad sure made us look like a couple of fools."

I ask him why is that?, and he said that he and his brother had tried every trick in the book to get her to turn over while out on the farm, even to the point of using a pipe wrench on the engine. They just couldn't move it, nothing had worked.

And, that after it had got into town on the truck, dad had unloaded the thing and had the tractor running in about 15 minutes, but that it has a lot of blow-by and that the oil was full of anti-freeze.

About this time during his story, the owner of the shop walks in and asks me what I think of the tractor, etc., etc.

We get to talking about the darned stuck engine and this is when he just shrugged his shoulders, rubbed his head and said "I don't really know, "I could feel that T/A fightin' herself coming down off the truck and then she broke free. I'm thinking it was the weight of the tractor or something".

So, your guess is as good as mine. Anyway, they will be checking it out next week to see what all it needs.

And the best part is, I really don't care 'cause now I finally gots my 966 back that I've been waitin' on for the past 20 years! Stuck or not stuck. :>)
