Drove down to Fairhaven yesterday to check out the Sabreliner I have
interest in.

A modest proposal:

Nah. Those are a dime a dozen. I want something "different".

Speaking of interesting farm machinery, Harold Foskett here in town
just picked up a couple of really interesting tractors yesterday.

Did you see the article in today's Wall Street Journal on tractor
collecting?

http://tinyurl.com/3jlu9e

No I didn't and it's very accurate.

For example:

I have a 1950 IH Farmall Super A wide front that was a demonstrator.
Back in those days, IH used to paint their demonstrators white instead
of IH red. After their demonstration days, they were repainted IH red
and sold to the general market.

The one I have was actually sold by Harold's father when he was the
local IH dealer here in Woodstock. It went to a farmer in Ledyard who
then sold it to a orchard grower in Foster, RI. I went to an auction
and this tractor came up last in the tractor group - I got it for
$450. :)

I brought the tractor home and power washed it to see what I'd have to
do to restore it. As I was washing it, the red paint started coming
off and the white started showing through. I knew that IH never used
white primer, but gray primer so I found the number plate and SN.

Danged if it wasn't a demonstrator. The value automatically went up a
couple of thousand dollars. I restored it to it's original white,
redid the engine and now Harold has it in storage and takes it around
to various tractor shows for me.

I've had some really good offers for it from collectors, although you
don't find many "civilians" who know what it is. And Harold was good
enough to go through his father's records and gave me the original
bill of sale so I have proof it was a demonstrator.

You would have to include Air Force guys in the quest. Otherwise you might

Heh.

Good point. :)

BTW, further icing on the cake. This same engine series is used in
lots of farm machinery. Case/IH, actually Case Tractor Company started
using this engine back in the mid 80's in their 2590 series tractors.
And yes, it's not unusual to get 6- 8000 hrs of rough, dirty field
work out of one before needing a "major". Oh BTW, the Cummins engine
in question really isn't a "Cummins", It was developed by
"Consoledated Diesel" which is the joint development susidary of
Cummins, and Case.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cummins_B_Series_engine

It's a good engine, but the Czechoslovakian engines used in McCormick
and Zetor tractors beat the snot out of that Consolidated engine.

You guys out there seeing any of the new Zetor or McCormick tractors?

Nice machines.

Friend says they are buying Kubotas. 1/2 the price of John Deeres and in 5
years they can replace the tractor and still be ahead on the bottom line.
But he a ranch manager for large operations.

If you had something to contribute here, you wouldn't have to make these
Loogy-like calls for attention.- Hide quoted text -

Another example of Harry's hiding behind his little Bozo's bin and
insulting. What a pussy.
Hey, Harry, what "calls for attention" are you talking about? Me
calling you out on your many, many lies and personal insults?
Zimmerman like lobster boat?

Speaking about Cape Islander/lobstra type boats.......... here's a nice
small one that could be suitable for lake use...
http://halifax.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehi...e-for-Sale-W0Q...

To be suitable for Lake Lanier use, it would need wheels on the bottom,
and a horse to pull it. :)

Actually, the boat in the picture you provided looks...top heavy.
Is that typical for that particular style?

The style is right but that cabin house seems too large for a small Cape
Islander.- Hide quoted text -

Tell Harry as usual, he's got his head up his ass. Lanier is doing
just fine. You see, what the little scared fat man doesn't know is
that a lot of the lake is in the 100' deep range, plus it's coming up.
at the date of this report, the latest rains hadn't had an effect
yet.

These are from April 3rd so the lake level has risen: Just a few cuts
from he

http://www.havefunfishing.com/fishin...nier_fishing_r...

April 3, 2008

LAKE LANIER IS DOWN 14.3 FEET, AND LAKE IS STAINED AND THE CREEKS AND
THE RIVERS ARE MUDDY & 55 DEGREES.

SPECIAL NOTICE: See the 2008 Georgia Department of Natural Resources
lake Predictions on our site:www.havefunfishing.com

There are still humps, trees and long points exposed lake wide. Be
very careful running the lake. See our site for the Lake Lanier Ramp
calculator.

Bass fishing is very good as the fish are heading to the shallows all
over the lake. The fish are also on the secondary points in the creek
and if you're after a big fish, use a Stanley jig and pig in crawfish
colors. The spawn is only a couple of weeks away.

Spotted bass fishing is also very good with some really big fish
feeding lake wide. The fish that are being caught are coming off of
warming coves in areas of the last deep water towards the backs of the
coves.

Striper fishing has been great. Pulling planer boards and flat lines
over main lake points with lines out 60 to 100 feet and put the lines
on planer boards 30 to 60 feet. Planer boards and flat lines are also
working over deep water in the mouth of south end creeks. This pattern
should pick up this month.

Crappie fishing is good. Depths vary all day but 4 feet is a great
place to start. Just go to the back of any major creek, pick ten docks
and you will find a school of fish.

Ise the Army Corps still draining it off?

Waht was ever the outcome of that?

Living real close to lanier I decided to take a peak, although I no
longer boat on that lake.

So I took a quick look and did not find what the discharge rate is for
Lanier. But it has been coming up. Looks like a small drop over the last
24 hours according to http://www.srh.noaa.gov/ffc/html/rrm.php

The big discussion has always been at what rate they should be
discharging the water. I really have to say the Corps of engineers is in
a tought spot as far as discharge rates going during time of drought.

Seems like no matter what they due they will be getting pressure from
somewhere and most end up in court.

At the present rate of discussions I do not see the issue going
anywhere. But would add that Georgia is the only effected state that has
done anything about this issue (water use restrictions, but they have
been lax'ed on any real enforcement) Florida and Alabama have not even
gone that far. But bitch that they are not getting enought water from
that drainage basin. And then there are the enviromental folks that want
to protect the "Red Bank Climber" mussel down stream.

What will happen is the rain will return, the water will flow and
nothing will change. When the next drought hits all the fighting will
start over again.
