About came up short yesterday Dan... hooked to that trailer of lumber to turn it around. As I lifted the hydraulics I noticed the front end got light. I quickly added the 5 weights up front and jumped on. My driveway jumps up real quick. I snagged 6th (of 8) and poured the fuel on. Got to about 2200 rpm at the bottom of the hill and by the top we were rolling coal and down to 800 rpm. Pulled a move I hadnt done in a long time... power shifted 6 to 5 and kept it rolling on up the hill. Got nervous that of it stopped I'd never got it going again and wouldn't be able to stop it going down backwards.

Got it turned around and eased down cautiously. Again the little beast made it work....and put some smoke in the air for the neighbors.

Got to play with a bunch of old tractors down on the farm last Sat. ,could have some real fun there fixing up a few of the old tractors sitting around. Got a 1969 Ford started and running, replaced a ball joint the owner had sitting around for over 3 years now, he didn`t know two hammers will pop out the joint stud with ease, he thought he would have to buy a puller of some sort. Was amazed I popped er out on the first try, put the new one in place,set it up for tow in and away it went for the first run in over 3 years. Still another 6 tractors sitting waiting for simple repairs, the two runners he has are also in need of some tlc but run well enough to get the chores done.
