Tom, Don't make a special trip but the next time you go by, get the phone number then I can call for info and price. Thanks!

Tom, What do you know about the R? Phone number? Thanks!

Congrats on 42 years and a new tractor. Have a swingin' time!

Ref. Deere - I think all the Diesels are Yanmar. The gassers could be one of several OEs (Kaw, B&S, Kohler). Best to look at the specs for the specific model to determine the engine OE. I think the CVT transmissions are from Japan. Deere uses a lot of Japan made components in their UTV and L&G products but the machines are assembled in USA. P.S. Something about plain Norma - me thinks she may be "hot" in bed....sorry not politically correct.

Deere builds their own UTVs.

Paul, Happy Birthday and many more. Hope you had an enjoyable day.

David, Happy Birthday and many more. Hope you had a great day.

Those dates are correct.

Anyone heard from Vlad since January 10th?

Rick, Happy Birthday and many more. Enjoy your day!

What is Facebook?!?!?!? A book with a face? I said it before and I will say it again "I have more important things to do even if it is nothing!"

Happy New Year OD and everyone on BMT! Wishing everyone a healthy and safe 2018.

Herby, Happy Birthday and many more. Enjoy your day and stay inside where it is warm. Have dad and Doug keep the fire going and handle any road calls!

Mike, Happy Birthday and many more. Enjoy your day!

Last I knew, Mack oil is supplied by Mobil (Delvac). I don't think they changed suppliers. Chevron and Shell have been trying to get Mack's business for many years but have not succeeded (to my knowledge). But remember, just because an oil is supplied by a particular company does not mean it is the same oil. The engine OE can specify a different formulation compared to "off the shelf" brands. Important things to note...correct viscosity grade and API credentials.

Tom, Good knowing you are okay. Always enjoy seeing your "road trip" pics (wish there were some Winfall wimmin here in central PA). BTW, the JD4420 combine is worth some money if it is in good condition. On a side note to Yardo...the Nunnery in Canton, OH closed...a sad day for tutors. How are we to maintain our certification?

That picture was likely taken at the Mack Engineering Center with an engineer. I think technicians wore work uniforms. Don S. would likely know where the picture was taken and the guy in the picture. Back in the day, if you were an engineer you wore a white shirt with tie, dress slacks, and had a sport coat or suit coat handy for meetings. Too bad that is not the dress code at corporations anymore. Everything has to be "casual". When I was still working some people looked like they just got out of bed (or hadn't been there yet). And at the risk of offending females....females were usually the worst offenders. End of rant! BTW, nice pics!

Swishy, One for each hand and one for the mouth. Talk about lucky! But difficult to motorboat. Just sayin'

OD is probably on a secret mission.

Yardo....Randy, Happy Birthday and many more. Enjoy your day!

Heard back from Microsoft...there was an issue on their end. Surprise surprise! Anyway they were aware of it and things are back to "normal" this morning (at least for the time being). As for MS email... they still have Hotmail and now Outlook programs.

Anyone here using MS Outlook email? Today I tried opening some messages and when I do, only the title shows and rest of the screen is blank. I tried opening it with another computer/OS and same thing. I tried forwarding a message but that does not work either. Now that Barry booted the BMT hacker, perhaps the hacker is screwing with MS. I sent a note to Microsoft but they will use my Outlook email address so I will never see the reply.

Ron, Congrats on making the cover of DC and nice article about your "baby Mack". Are you charging for autographs?

Amoco was bought by BP. BP Supreme (Amoco Premier) Diesel fuel "was" a very good straight run Diesel fuel. It was actually closer to a #1 but did meet the #2 specs. It had high natural cetane and was very stable. We used it for baseline testing "back in the day". But as you mention, I doubt it is available anymore considering the cost of refining, etc. As for bio...the only thing good about bio is it "helps the farmers" - I think. Both ethanol and bio have "issues" when it comes to operability and emissions. Best to use corn, beans, etc. as a food source. Difficult to get non-bio Diesel most places.
