Hi Hugh, Yep yesterday was quite a day. First Gary comes by with an address which doesn't exist, no name or phone number. Just the tractor model and price. Off we go into the wild blue yonder looking for the non-existant place which has these tractor gems. We get near a road which was called Pigeon road (we were looking for Prichard something) and he's going about 80 mph, slams on the brakes, does a sliding 90 degree left turn into Pigeon Road and calmly states this is it. Gary says "I'm a retired cop" and we get so we can smell where are going. Low and behold down this dirt road we go to another dirt road which goes off into the "real brush" and low and behold we come out into this junk yard paradise which would have made the movie set for "Deliverence" think you were in classy Palm Springs.
I think Gary is quite happy with his new purchase but is going to have to get it going in order to get it loaded to haul home. I guess we can get the bucket off and get it on a trailer if it would be easier to work on it at home. I have a feeling we will be back down off Pigeon Road next week sometime.
The 886 is some tractor and almost overwhelmed me in size to my letter series Farmalls. Those front tires look like main landing gear tires on the early Boeing passenger jets not to mention the rear ones. Boy does that German 6 cylinder engine sound smooth and the rain cap after warming up just remained stationary at idle. I heard about another 886 in the area which belongs to a neighbor's father-in-law which is for sale as well and need to take a look at that one as well.
Gary must have liked that pulled pork sandwich as he had to get another one to take home. Dee and I share one but usually take another home for lunch or so in a day or two. The place is about 30 miles away from here and we usually only stop there when in that area. With Gary and Sharon around we might be doing it a little more often it seems.
Hal
