OUCH!!! I've got my fingers crossed for you. It's hard to deal with those kinds of obsticles. And when the family and friends start second guessing you, you don't need that - Kind of lights a fire under you, but makes you a "little snappy", which leads to handing out apologies, which aint fun either. I can do Joliet to Bristol in about 2.5 hours every Friday night, and back every Sunday night, but has been as bad as 4 hours - then I'm bouncing around inside the cab of the truck. South Dakota to Southern Ohio? Youch. Grandpa's farm - God love you. All the backup tractors down too. You'll get them back together, because you have no choice, and it has to get done. And the Deere guy aint cheap - mine's tipping the scale at $4K right now in parts and labor, because I figured with my time would take me a month of weekends to split her out and fix, and that's out-of-field time I'm couldn't afford. It's been longer than that at the Deere guys place, and I don't even stop in to look at it or call him anymore. Split, put back together, split again last I saw it. When your flagship is down, you'll find a way to piece them backups back together. Can get a lot of help on these boards. Mortgage and bills in Bristol, work and rent in Illinois, not much time, and at least $4K (unexpected) going out to the Deere guy soon. ????? ???? Don't give up on yourself Old Fashioned, even if everyone else start second guessing you. Watch snapping on them though, for they do not understand. Never know how these things will work out. I sure don't, and I aint changing anything for anyone. Good thing I'm not married - she'd have clubbed me with a skillet and left me by now. Mark
