My 300 tractor has been sitting alone up in the woods for a couple years
ever since I hooked the left front wheel on a tree and stripped the
steering
gear . My nephew decided we should get her out of there so yesterday we
started on that project. He drained the old gas while I stuck a new
battery
in. We tried the key and the switch was corroded and wouldn't turn.
Spray
lubricant and playing with it got it to turn. Hit the starter button
and
that was corroded beyond help so we took it out and bypassed it. The
starter solenoid clicked lightly but repeated tapping didn't get the
starter
engaged so I'll pick up a new 6 volt solenoid at NAPA today. (and a heavy
duty push button switch) We'll get back at it this afternoon. If it
doesn't rain we should have "Old Bertha" out of there before dark.

ROTFLMAO

I bet you were left wondering why I never
tried explaining lime to you.

Never gave it a thought. As far as I know the following is the only post
that left me wondering about a reply.

One possum made the mistake of trying to sneak in the room where my son &

eaten. The hawks had a very contented look on their faces.

Why does he keep hawks in a room (that is, besides rodent-control)?
Which species of hawk are we talking about?

They are licensed breeders. They have a few - I'm not good with names -
Redtails, Kestrels, Harris & and a couple kinds of "pie-eyed" (?) crows if I
remember right.
