SWD6 purring

I'm so excited I can hardly stand it.Thanks to all who helped me get her going. It was not getting gas. The tank had some rust and it plugged everything especially the screen just before the carburator. Once I flushed the gas tank and blew it out with air and flushed again 3 times more and cleaned the carburator the problem was solved. All new gas, new diesel, new fuel filters, new oil in the engine and in the injector pump. Once it started and ran on gas, it converted over to diesel and purred like a kitten. Thirty eight years ago I would get this excited over every litter of pigs born.
Now the old tractors thrill me. Go figure. Must be old age!!
 
I hate to say I told you so...but...:)
I still get excited over every litter of pigs born. I am not doing too bad this session. I have had 41 pigs weaned off 8 sows. Everybody says, "That isn't that great...then again...they are Berks!" I am pretty happy with it. I am shooting for ten weaned per litter next farrowing. I had one pig that had 6 weaned and that really hurt the average.
 
Used to raise hogs for a living. Going to the farrowing house at morning when a group were pigging was like Christmas , if there were several new litters. Liked no more than 12 per litter, and hoped to wean 10. Didn't always turn out that way though. Joe
