I don't see hoses as that big a deal.

They arent.
But if I'm buying a used tractor, i am figuring things like that into the price.

Crimped hose is only as good as the person doing the crimping. Many over crimp and cut the covering or damage the steel braid. Mechanical screw on are very effective for most applications but those connectors require specific hose to match themif done correctly. I have generally had the mechanical type outlast crimped.

Maybe Tomorrow. Little snag with the credit union, have to go to town tomorrow to open another non-joint acct as the small loan will be with me only. This with a way good credit rating. As in so good a few years back in Juneau, when buying a trailer to live in, the loan guy came out after checking my rating and said " How much money can we loan you today!"
Today was a long drive to a doctor in one of the "local big cities" as in a 3.5- 4 hr drive local. Couldn't get back in time to do it.

Nope, since the guy knocked a half a thou off the price I figure I can repair a number of hoses for 5 Benjamins. Geno

Tomorrow has arrived, Finally! Apparently, Credit Union folks take time off to enjoy the holidays or something. When I went there the other day and got the new acct I needed, filled out the loan app, and the gal here sent it to the main office, we found out there weren't any loan processors there for the rest of the day. Managed to get the paperwork sent back to the local branch, signed again, and a cashier check for the guy before noon on Christmas eve. By then, it worked out better for the both of us to just deal with it today. "Farmer John" delivered it to the door today. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/wvKd97Jr/IMG-20181226-153453535-HDR.jpg) ] ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/c4d8BcCF/IMG-20181226-153503533.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/FKSR4f1f/IMG-20181226-153519495-HDR.jpg) Gannon box scarper with rippers, seen some on ads for $450 without the rippers. Someone has a slightly newer one with 2K more hrs on the meter and wants $7500 as is for it. https://www.shoppok.com/yuma/a,50,95597,1985-Massey-Ferguson-30E-skiploader-for-sale----7500--El-Centro--CA-.htm I think I probably did OK for $4500. Like many a farm gal, she's not much to look at, has put in a lot of hard hours on the homestead, and likely would like a nice bath after the winter. And y'all are a bunch of impatient bastids too.

Button? Mmmmn? Don't recall one when I ran it up and down the other day. Just a joystick I think, I'll check next time I go out there.
What's the button do?

I don’t think it ever worked on the one I’m familiar with, I just remember it being there.

Top link? I'm guessing the 3 point hitch, right?
I seem to remember an old tractor somewhere without it

Going to have to find my little grease gun in the garage somewhere. About the only thing I have that has zircs is my little cargo trailer wheels. Heck, I may even invest in a new full sized one.

Yes, I was quite pleased to see the leveling feature when I looked at it the first time. That's not going to hurt when I do my driveway! And paths around the yard.
I imagine that was quite the nice machine when new and probably cost a dollar or three.

I'm guessing you could crown the road using that leveled?
