LET'S TEAR DOWN

Well finally sheet metals coming off and as I'd hoped I'm the first one to put a wrench on the fender bolts since the factory. Not much fixing to do, just the usual fill a rust hole here and there, I put new metal in them and weld them shut, scrape the old undercoat off and sand--sand--sand. I'll paint the interior of the doors, hang the new door panels and have the whole interior done before paint is applied to the body. This way I can completely tape the windows off and not worry about paint spray getting into the cabin. Last week was replacing the gas tank and that was one hell of a job to do. Along with the tank I replaced the springs with new rearched ones and am still not happy with the stance. But P275R15's DO fit the fender wells. The shop at this point looks like a tornado hit it with all the parts being spread around in piles.

Finally Friday

Tis a nip in the air today as fall weather is about to take center stage here in Iowa. Combines are starting to roll, corn and soybeans are being harvested and sent to elevators in small towns or straight to the Ole' Miss. This weekends chores will include "winterizing" the house, and this is something I don't look forward to.

Raining in Iowa

Well a little wet and dreary around here, Fall sure has settled in quick. Nothing to do but paperwork and place some parts on Ebay. Free time will get scarce around work as Agriculture is where my paycheck comes from and in the spring and fall free time is scarce. The picture was taken today in the rain of my office, and home when we are busy. For reference the rear tires are 66 inches tall When you sit in the seat you are about ten feet above the ground. The middle machine is used in the spring and summer when the crops are out of the ground. The machine on the left will be my home well into the winter. It is a new aquire from Kansas and I sure hope the heater works. When it dries off we will be spreading dry fertilizers and limestone on farm fields.
