HeadExam

For the last two years one of my large oaks has had large nodules on it and I've noticed holes and disease on the outer bark, I was worried it might be hollow and know that a diseased tree can potentially be fatal to the cutter so I decided to hire professionals to fell it (150.00 US). Should be a nice amount of firewood, if I can get any of the less than motivated locals to cut it up while the weather is nice. It seems people are getting lazier by the moment.

Great video Joseph.

Colonel Dick Cole, General Doolittle's co pilot passes away at 103 years old. He was just 26 when he and the rest of the men set off on one of history's most daring raids. https://taskandpurpose.com/doolittle-raid-dick-cole-obituary?utm_content=buffer07c02&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer&fbclid=IwAR3_NQj7udt1TapqmMQHmUC0UquV19ta6DvsLSAEYG6g531LMR4Eq2jBIq8

This is very common in journalism these days, writers that can't write a four paragraph story that makes any sense.

Happy Birthday Ian, hope you stay out of trouble, lol

I'd be worried it might snap

Beautiful Norm!

I'm guessing The Sun is more akin to our National Enquirer in that that the papers are sold from the headlines?

Happy Birthday, Hope you have a great day!

Very good video Joseph.

Around here we have old codgers go to sales like this and pay 4 times the prices shown here. They will bid against each other at an auction until the item is well over the list price new and then some just to keep someone else from having it. I wish you chaps could see an Oklahoma farm auction.

I could only dream of making those straight of furrows

Picture?

Good work Joseph

Great Video, hmmm 2009, How old were you?

That's one of the nicest unrestored Brinly plows I've seen

and I as well, seems to be easier to steer

Very nice machine. I doubt I'll ever see one over here, the nearest I might come is a Wheel Horse D-250 (Gutbrod 2500), but I would much rather have a 1032

The blue one appears to be missing the familiar Howards decal. Great video Joseph, sorting old tractors is like CSI forensics.

Is that a tooth bar in the background of the first picture?

Thanks Richard, the decal maker sent me another decal, so alls well. I'm working on another XL-100 series saw of similar in design, this one a 1975 XL-123, complete rebuild, piston, rod, rings, bearings, seals, fuel lines, etc.

Here is the engine manual and a Massey 7E page so you can see original tyres and paint http://www.simplicityva.com/ymf/executive.html .You probably don't have the Kohler spec and serial number decal that was originally on the engine so you will have to look closely at the TP manual and find what sump, generator, air breather, rope start or electric start or both and other parts that were particular to your engine, by doing so you maybe able to determine the original 7 hp Kohler variant Duro Corporation installed into the Massey 7E. I would say it is real possible that it is a spec number of 2801 or very close to that. The TP manuals allow you to look up the spec number and cross reference which parts were used on your tractor.
