is the shed full yet?
if not then you can still acquire more machinery.
when the shed is full you stop, and build another shed.

mum told us your not bringing the d4 home. we told her to bad it arrives next tuesday. she said well i'll shift it. we replied you gotta start it first, good luck with that. that was almost 10yrs ago we still have the d4.

Mom put her foot down eh? An "ex" blurted out in a loud voice that I was NOT getting anymore tractors... did I say ex? That relationship soured quickly after that "comment". I do believe she meant to eat her words, but too late for that. I believe that episode in JuiceMan's life was about 11-12 tractors ago...
Sheds are all filled to the brim. If anyone wishes to set up a GoFundMe account and raise at least 1 million USD, I think a modest one can be built. I gladly invite contributors over once a year to visit their new building. I was in the market for a dedicated crawler palace, but opted not to. I know that when I am "room temperature" there are already some friendly buzzards that have called dibs on certain pieces, and gladly scoop the first shovel full of dirt over the hole!
My new helper and I will go out this morning and retrieve the rusty stuff this morning. Pictures to follow. TIA, JM.

Hi, juiceman.
Definition of an 'addiction' - "Something that is done to avoid feeling a feeling." What feeling are you avoiding. I think I know - you hate to see them either going to scrap or just melting away.

Just my 0.02.

Some pictures for the curious folks. She isn’t pretty, far from perfect, but runs good, especially when I figured out you have to turn the gas on! ***manifold has freeze cracks? JB Welded by someone***
A nice hot bath and let’s see what happens.

JM -
The intake manifold looks like many Thirty manifolds I have seen.
The heat riser eventually carbons up the passages and then breaks the outer casting.
Nice looking Twenty.
That side curtain is no problem, put it out of sight and it will never miss the tractor.
Some good time with a body and fender man, you will have it looking like new.

It gets a name one day; prepping her for a hot bath. I like the original spark plug wires and plugs! In true orchard fashion, I will likely re-install the front check breakers that came with it, but would really like to find a set of the factory ones that if memory is correct, Skinner had a set on one of his ultra fine units in his secret stash? Next step could be to swap the rubber street pads to it as well.
Thanks for the information on the cracking issues. JM

J.M. You must have a good memory Yes you did see a set of factory caterpillar check breakers on my pv15 orchard. That was a while ago. When you were here looking around. That reminds me, I better keep the Shop locked up. Lol. Oh by the way, I have never seen another set of factory Caterpillar check breakers so keep your eyes open! Skinner
