My ex husband and I owned a 1980 or '81 Scout; it was yellow and we bought it brand new. I think that was the last year the Scout was made. He really loved that thing so he got it in the divorce.

When it comes to couples parting ways, a yellow Scout is certainly a better thing to give up, than a white Ford Bronco.

Its about time for Jake to get a dose of tractor again.

Jake went out and did some more road work, then washed his tractor, aka the cleanest tractor in town.

Ok, I was just watching a chicanic video on problems with new lawn tractors. It was horrible. They made a tiny battery for the new tractors that set in a tiny box and was waranteed for 6 months. After fixing a few other things on the tractor in her shop, like debris in the gas tank, (tractor kept stopping like it wasn't getting gas : ). She pulled the battery and then the box to find she could fit it with brackets that could hold a normal sized battery!!!!
Are they doing this to sell more tiny batteries? Bad enough all the computerized stuff on John Deere and the liike. I think this example was a Cub.
Anyway, I am having issues with a few of my machines. Renters have destroyed them over the years so I called some friends to look at them to see if they were reasonable fixes. Too busy a time for mechanics just now so daughter and I may have to deal with them. Might have to get some of our own new tools and equipment. Like a compressor and pressure washer for dirt?
