I remember his name mostly. Sad to find out he passed away.

Really a great guy. When I was rebuilding my first WD- must have been around 1996, I needed a set of pistons and connecting rods. I asked around as to who had he best deal going, was ready to pay for them, when he volunteered to give me a spare set he had no use for, if I promised to use them and not re-sell them. They're still in my WD today- I've got the old broken ones sitting on top of my parts shelf as a reminder to what A/C guys are like.

He was one of the early folks on the forum. He was a true go to guy to get correct information on the repair of tractors. I didn't know his profession until now but it makes sense now as his posts were well thought out and correct.
A great loss.

He broker a deal for me on my wd45 diesel. The seller was a friend of his. Bought it sight unseen by his description. Picked it up in Brookings South Dakota. Stopped at Harrell's place along the way. Was 15 or 20 years ago.

Condolences to the family. I remember his name from years ago on the forum. He, and many like him have passed. We will be able to meet up with him again one day in God's kingdom. May he rest in peace. May God supply his family's needs and fill them with love and encouragement as they go through a period of mourning. God Bless.

I met Harrell once at his place. He seemed to be a genuine really nice guy. We chatted for a couple hours, and he showed me his WC. He was real proud of his WC. It is sad when we lose folks like Harrell. He never made it on the new forum as far as I know.

Condolences to the family and friends of Harrell. Sounds like another guy who knew these machines inside and out. The "Old Farmer".....wire, baling twine and a pair of pliers. God bless em, these true American leaders.

I also remember him from the early days on the forum. He always had intelligent answers with a little humor thrown in. I havent seen him on here for years, I wondered what had happened to him. Thank you for posting when the services were. RIP Harell, you were a great guy and a fellow Vietnam Vet!!!!!

I consider anyone born in the 1950's a young one. Sounds like he had a good life, too bad he left so soon.
