Ya,I didn't have all that great of an end to the day either. I'd watched the first 20 minutes or so of US Farm Report yesterday morning,figured I'd go out and drop a couple of round bales in this afternoon about four o'clock,then get back in and watch the second half in the Sunday afternoon rerun. First Sunday in a while that I've been far enough ahead that I didn't have to work most of the day. Well,I swung around in the road with a bale on the loader to come back in the gate from the other direction,looked down and the right front wheel was almost all the way off the spindle. Outside wheel bearing was gone. OK,not that big of a deal,the race was shot or gone,couldn't tell which,but I had a bearing and race here for it. If there was a part of the race left,I couldn't catch on to it to get it out,but the new one wouldn't go in either. Ran a pickup over there behind it with the flashers on because drivers didn't seem to care if I lived or died. Rolled the wheel over here in the shop,took the torch and couldn't seem to find any part of the race. Pulled the jack down to the toolshed,by now it's getting dark. Had the wife hold the flashlight while I took a hub and wheel off another tractor. Put it on,but it's a smaller tire and when I lifted the bale,it was awfully soft too. Got the bale out and brought it back over to the shop and put the bigger wheel and tire on it. Got in the house at twenty minutes to six. So much for an easy day off.

The discussion started out with the following post: " I am in the market for an older tractor (to be read... cheap). I have been told a diesel holds up better than a gasoline engine as far a wear, tear, neglect and abuse. Since I am looking at older tractors that have probably been through it all, is it better to buy diesel? I do expect to have to do a good bit of work on
