I have been at this site for only about 6 months (a friend on another forum refered me to YT when I asked a question about an Oliver). I am an automotive and diesel mechanic (among many other skills) and I own about 7 tractors (all red, all sizes), but I did not have a manual for this tractor because it was my neighbor's. I asked my question and several folks tried to help me out. A couple of nice folks also refered me to the "Archive Search." I found that a former post (about 1 year old) had covered in detail what I was looking for. I made a few mistakes trying what the old post had described (the original question was about adding an auxiliary hydraulic assembly). I brought a few more questions back to the forum and they were answered. I finally got the Oliver working the way it should. I appreciate all the folks that try to answer a question, without offering an attitude. I have found both here, but I find more helpful and knowledgable people here, instead of the smart-aleck ones. That is why I keep coming back! I have left several "farm forum" sites that have had smart-alecks running good folks off. I pray that that never happens here.

There are no dumb questions, some I find tiring after reading them for the fouth time, but the person that asks them may be new to this site {as we all were at some point} and may not know that there is even an Archive feature. I prefer to see a question asked 10 times, as to seeing a person ridiculed for asking it in the first place.

I have found that if I read the first post of a thread and am not interested... I skip the entire thread. There are many threads that I find uninteresting. But... the topic must have interested someone because it gets asked and answered. If it irritates ya, just skip it!
