When you're over 70 I was standing at the bar one night, minding my own business. This fat ugly chick came up behind me, grabbed my ass and said, "You're kind of cute you got a phone number?" I said, "Yea you gotta pen?" She said "Yea", I got a pen". I said, "You better get back in it before the farmer misses you". When you are over seventy . . . Who Cares? Cowboy: "Give me 3 packets of condoms, please." Cashier: "Do you need a paper bag with that, sir?" Cowboy: "Nah.. She's purty good lookin'....." When you are over seventy, who Cares? I was talking to a girl in the bar last night. She said, "If you lost a few pounds, had a shave and got your hair cut, you'd look all right." I said, "If I did that, I'd be talking to your friends over there instead of you." When you are over seventy, whocares ? I was telling a girl in the pub about my ability to guess what day a woman was born just by feeling her boobs. "Really" she said, "Go on then...try." After about thirty seconds of fondling she began to lose patience and said, "Come on, what day was I born?" I said, "Yesterday." When you are over seventy, whocares? I got caught taking a pee in the swimming pool today. The lifeguard shouted at me so loud, I nearly fell in. When you are over seventy, whocares? I went to the pub last night and saw a fat chick dancing on a table. I said, "Good legs." The girl giggled and said, "Do you really think so." I said, "Definitely! Most tables would have collapsed by now." When you are over seventy, whocares?

The Wheel Horse D160 had a few issues, most due to outstanding mechanic work by the previous owner. The oil was over full and the oil had just been changed, a whiff of the dipstick confirmed my suspicion, gas in the oil. The first thing to do was to strip the undersized fuel line and replace it with a standard size, along with new filter and shutoff valve. I noticed what I thought was gas coming from the fuel pump, I installed a new pump and gasket, still leaked, but not gas, this time oil. I removed the pump and using the gasket as a pattern made a new gasket from cork, sealed up nicely now. The carb had some play in the throttle shaft and was leaking fuel into the cylinder, stuck float needle probably the culprit. I replaced the carb with a new one I had in reserve and placed both the carb and fuel pump in the rebuild bin. I need to address an issue on the blade attachment bracket. the early models like mine did not have a locking pin, so if you get into a thicket it is possible (it will happen) that the brush will raise the locking levers and the blade will detach from the tractor frame. I can buy the updated pins for 25.00, but I don't see any reason to so so when my pins can be modified, I just have to decide on how to do it. Right now I'm hooking a old box spring from a mattress with a large tractor tire on it to the back of the D160 and will be scuffing up the interior fence line to prepare for being groomed like the yard. I hope this will make the property look better and keep the cows from reaching over the fence. I've already cleared an area under the big oak tree and burnt the brush, that was a tough spot. Pictures and video to follow.

Interesting link about scrap cars, i like to see the cars being driven in these old films.

I wonder if she is ploughing a deep furrow for potatoes or a shallow furrow for grass seed George S

About four years ago my mate Gary and myself made this little tractor over the Christmas holidays. It was made from bits and peices we had lying around so realy didn't cost that much. We started with a Mountfield 8/30 similar to the one below, which i pulled out of a skip. You can guess what condition it was in when you see the gearbox. We salvaged the engine which was a Briggs and Stratton 8hp, the 3 speed transmission and the rear axle, everything else went back in the skip. A new chassis was made from 2x2 angle, a NOS bonnet sourced from a local dealer and an adjustable seat so my little daughter and myself can both ride it. Also fabed up a front axle and steering box (gearbox from an automatic door). Front grill and dash pannel was next. Now to close in the back, rear arches and side steps next. Thats most of the fab work done, a bit of paint next.

Hate this bit, lots of priming, sanding, undercoating and painting, its like watching paint dry, oh wait it was !! This will give you the idea of why i call it "Kermit". And here it is all put back together. Since then it has received new wheels and cleated rear tyres. Future plans are for a new exhaust that exits at the rear axle and a three point hitch. Thanks for looking.

Single furrow with twin rollers

I've heard of sowing wild oats, but that's taking it too far.

Well I think I've finally found the problem. Swapped the condenser over from the C-125. Now running as it should, full revs and no problem. I've done this before with no change in the bad running. The 81's condenser I put on the 125, expecting that to start playing up. It didn't. So I'm assuming the condenser was not earthing properly, even though the securing bolt was fully tight. I also tweaked the carbs and both have been given runs up the lane and all is now well.

ooh splitfire, allready sound good. guessing it's a new ignition system
