I've had this 400AN for 25 years - been through a lot with it - parts are not hard to get - paid 7200 new for a 56 hp tractor. I had little money. Today I suppose I'd go deal with our Case dealer - nice guy - I know him, but I'd sure have to pay. Plenty of help for these old Belarus on old...

A man in Savannah , Georgia , decided to write a book about churches around the country. He started by flying to Boston , Massachusetts , and started working west from there. Going to a very large church, he began taking photographs and making notes. He spotted a golden telephone on the...

Well - that really is why I am asking - just to get a feel for what has happened to others - it is sometimes difficult to get 5 old brothers and sisters to agree with what to do with "Daddy's Farm".

Many years ago - at the death of my father in law - he left the farm to his 5 children - there was no division of the farm - just 5 names added to the deed. To this day it remains this way except we are all much much older. We have all discussed dividing it but wonder what the consequences...

I suspect branding cattle is not done very often is this area - although there are plenty of cows. These cows are not branded to the best of my knowledge. The sheriffs dept was here today and after consulting the animal control officer (did not know we had one) I am supposed to construct a...

Thanks guys - sounds like good advice to me. I will contact the sheriffs office and see what they have to say. I do not know cows but their ribs are showing and their fur is very scruffy - i do not blame the cows and realize they are only hungry - I may be able to round them up but will first...

I do not have cows - but I have cows in my vineyard and they are reeking havock!! These cows belong to an absentee cow owner whoes facilities have deteriorated to the point where his electricity has been turned off and his fencing is totally porous. I can not locate him but have located some...

Yes - once I was in Guatemala City and can understand. All the Zones make it very complicated. I took a wrong turn off Roosevelt ave and wound up in Zone 3 which I believe is the Hatchery of all Chicken Buses in Guate. Also the grave yard of all abandoned vehicles. Quite frankly with the new...

Ahhh - Guatemala. I spent 2 weeks there in November. It is truly a land of eternal spring. Seems like the high temp was 72 everyday, but I was in the mountains and I think you may be more coastal -am I wrong? I think it is the most beautiful country I have ever visited and I look forward to...

I gotcha - my fault - should have paid better attention.

Smithfield's big processing plant is a few miles down the road from my place. The last I heard they were processing over 30,000 hogs a day - maybe more. Seems like half the county is employed there. Looks like a small city not a plant. If they do away with gestation stalls I wonder what they...

My handle is just my initials+DOB - yeah - I'm an old timer. Hartsville is SW of here I'm just a bit closer to the ocean. I think the trick to getting something around here in the 500-600 dollar an acre is talking to the Extension folks. Often these places aren'tsold through Real Estate...

500,000 ought to get you about 1000 acres here in the coastal plains of NC. You might have to clear some land for grazing but timber sells good. You won't see much snow arround here though.

More relays from my friend the Belarus expert. forgot to answer your question completely on the 8oo tractor: I suspect that NAPA has access to after market stuff in their catalogues, also the cummins detriot diesel/john deere[ industrial] and cat machines use 12/24 switching, don't have model...

Who do you know that has a"good idea"???? Not up to date on the 800m, but would suggest this as 2 cents worth. First: I am not sure of what he means by "the splitter between batteries blowing fuses" sounds as if there is a large main fuse in there, so if it is failing, better check ALL...
