   Creston, see if you can buy, fix up, and jockey the 4440, but as far as the 8630 and 6600... RUN! :)

Even a JD guy wont defend a 8630....

Our place is quite cluttered with goodies, I have to get after dad to quit dragging home crap and stick to good stuff, its not the quantity that bugs me its the quality. :) 

Dad's biggest hang up is junk tires, he drug home a 30.5L32 Firestone home out of a back pile for 17.50, I asked if he looked it over. "A little" was the response. I stuck my head in and turned in all directions, and found the seperating sidewall pretty quick. Oh goodie, now we get to pay the disposal fee....if we ever took it in for disposal. Instead they sit around, collect water, and grow mosquitoes. I blame the mosquitoes on the tires, he gets defensive saying they come in on the wind.

Oh well. :)

	After my grandma passed, we started cleaning up the farm because we were not sure what was going to happen here. I hauled 16 gooseneck loads in and that wasn't counting the junk we were still using. Pap kept everything, the depression made them have the feeling of you never know whats going to happen, and we can use it for parts. Problem is after all the years of sitting the stuff was rotted to nothing. As I try to evolve here with the equipment, I have been been trying to get rid of stuff that hasn't been used in years.

	We are told by the local Health Department not to leave tires lay around because of modquitoes. But there is a group that want to reflood the swamps that were drained years ago. Dusty Edited by Dusty MI - 26 Feb 2016 at 7:02am

	My dad lived through the depression too and he kept everything on the farm. We had a pile of rusted AC combines and AC choppers and various other steel machines parked back in the field. He might have needed a part off of them and was not one to scrap anything. You might need it tomorrow! On a farm my daughter purchased I came across a side delivery hay rake that has been swallowed up by small trees. I will try to get a picture some time. No idea why it got left there? Regards, Chris

	Chris around here it was really common to push old equipment off to the edge of the field and let brush grow up through it. One of those cases where you could get to it if you needed. The other thing you have to remember is around here there was no town dump before about the 50s so people just had a dump in the edge of the woods. There are two old fords from the 30s out back that I would like to see if I can rebuild a car our of some day. Always loved those big fenders.
