Yep. My neighbor's 8N it's sitting out in the snow as we speak. He must think his 94' Ford ranger is going to be worth something or a "classic" someday. He was out there waxing it when it was about 40 degrees last week. His wife has a new car parked next to the ranger inside the 2-car attached garage. He useually waxes the new car every week. His wife doesn't work and the car just goes to the store once a week etc. He seems bored, has nothing to do. During the summer he finish mows all 5 acres every 3 or 4 days. What a waste of time. He won't even pull the cars out to work on the tractor, he would rather sits on a piece of cardboard on the cold ground to TRY to fix it. His new King-Kutter finish mower is still attached to the 8N and the top link threads are getting rusted up. He will probaly buy a new one instead of using WD-40. This site would help him a lot. I always keep my toplinks under roof over the winter and they have "never-seize" on them anyhow.He has called a professional roll-back tow-truck out to haul the 8N 10 miles to town to get it worked on. Like so many,he is from the city and built a new house on 5 acres and this is his first tractor. We got off to a bad start. When he was driving stakes where the house was going to be, he moved the property line stake over on my side 3 feet because his 10' tape measurements didn't come out right. I am putting up a fence and planting trees out there in the spring. This guy is downright goofy. Nobody take this personal but I say to myself "typical city-boy" with a chuckle when I see whatever he does. Sorry about the length
