Getting old sucks......

Been a ruff couple of years here guys. Sense 2015 I've had both knees and one hip. Plus minor surgery on both feet, cataracts both eyes and to top it off neck fusion surgery. Then this spring I had an unexplained internal bleed. Anyway about my only activity in the last 2 years has been to have shop put up 24X54 and buying that T340 IH Crawler loader. Well I pulled the T340 part way down to replace a leaking water pump and to change it over to 12 volt with an alternator. Still need to do a steering clutch/brake adjustment. I want to get the D4 7U in the shop to get a start on that. Needs the steering brakes adjusted or maybe replaced. Carb on the pony rebuilt and paint. But I am getting back to doing things!! Now if I can me wife and my doctor to stop trying to tell me I'm old........

Hey OT, glad to have you back again!! A big 10-4 on the age thing. As we get older it takes so darned much longer to get anything done!!
Hope the medical problems subside and give you some relief so you can do what you enjoy, fixing old equipment.
