That's why I'm glad I just knocked everything out... 2 steps: Tech &
General written first round, 2 months later, Extra written & code (passed
by the hair on my chinny-chin-chin)... I'z all done! Whew! [Figgered I'd do
that so I'd be grandfathered, just in case they upped the code back to
13wpm in the future...]

1971 John Deere 110 - Runs great, but tranny stuck in reverse... should
have it fixed over the winter, i hope...

198? John Deere 175 - main house lawn tractor - deck kinda small (38"), but
for my postage stamp lawn in town, it's fine...

1996 John Deere 345 - Farm lawn tractor - hydraulic power steering & mower
deck lift - 54" deck & cruise control... :-))

-- enough with the toyz --

1953 Farmall Cub - runs *great* - this one's my baby...

1964 International 504 - for the 7" snowblower & loader (and if you *need*
45HP for that PTO-TTY adapter... ;-)

[[ And should I mention the 2 Gravely 2-wheel tractors by the barn?
;-) ]]

Laterz,
