Yes, "Ginger" does like this. :) DB will also, I do believe. He is kind of our "resident" antique tractor buff - I think. If he has to have parts built for my tractor, guess we know who to contact. :D

Stuart, I don't know how to "delete" photos out of here. I have learned how to turn them on my computer, before posting, but don't know how to take them off here for turning? I now know I need to turn them before sending to tinypics. But my computer operating system lets me turn them there...

Peter, I have been to your "Paradise". I admit I loved seeing it. It was nice, I liked visiting. However, to live there, I wouldn't want to. For one, there is not much chance of ever waking up to find a foot of snow on the ground :lol: . I like having four different seasons of the year. Do...
