Paul: Crops all off, I suppose? Are you folks as saturated with water as we are. We had one of the finest growing seasons ever, just the right amount of moisture every week, then come time to harvest corn and beans, it started raining and has never stopped. I heard a radio host say yesterday was the first time since Sept. we had two days in a row without rain. I'm not disputing him.

Back in the mid 70s, I had a new neighbor. Everyone seemed to know him but me, and also knew his credentials as a top diesel mechanic for a large company. My 560D and 300 both needed engine kits, thus another neighbor introduced us. This guy regularly worked on large marine deisels. He checked and told me what he could get kits for, and gave me a quote on both tractors. I guess your telling me he was not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I've always suspected that, however the job he did on 300 was excellent. I think it was a case of not being familiar with 282 diesels.

Back in those days I was busy milking cows, all mechanical work got farmed out. At the time, I though the IH dealer was getting a bit heavy and it wouldn't hurt him to miss a couple. But you know, he would have stood behind his engine work.
