As long as it keeps getting hard without help, it's all good! :beer2:

Todd that could be a good thing (if you know what I mean) :bigthink:

Yeah, I hear ya. I can't do the same as a did 5 years ago. Be thankful that you still can, and accept that it is normal for things to take longer. Prioritize and accept that some things don't have to be done right away. Just do the things that need to be done...right. Relish in the thought that you are smarter and more experienced that days of yester-year.

:IH Trusted Hand:

I figured some smart a$$es would write something to that, after I posted...:biggrin2:
No doubt about it. It just seems like father time is creeping up faster then he should. But it's been a chitty few months. I still have more ambition than most, that are half my age around here.
It is "funny", not ha/ha, but how the mind says, "Yeah, we can do that, no sweat", then the body says, ":banned:that, ain't happening without pain for the next few days"...:bigthink:

Boy can I relate to the mind says ok but the body says, "do it and you will pay in full" Had to replace a headlamp switch on our IH 1066 tractor yesterday and it took twice as long as it used to. Good luck with your repairs.

I have come to the conclusion, Old age ain't what it's cracked up to be. But on the other hand we are still here and i'm thankful for that.

Todd,
Good luck with the seal repair. I hate that stuff. Most of my tractors leak something. Indicates where to park them when I am done for the day.
Hope the lawn mowing goes well!
Regards,
Chris

Yeah.. I have a few things that I know if they are dry underneath that just means it's out of oil!:biggrin2::biggrin2:

I can't stand leaks. If anything I own leaks, I'm looking to fix it. Not that I jump on fixing it immediately.... but it gets fixed. My 1050 has a small seep on the creeper. Drives me bonkers. Sat all winter and left a small puddle under it. Checked the oil when I got it out for the season, and if it was 3/8 of an inch below full that was all.... so not a bad leak. My 1811 now has right at 2050 hours on it. Hydraulic valve started leaking. That's getting fixed real soon..... Otherwise that tractor is bone dry. No other leaks.

Yes sir. Nothing bothers me worst, plus you get all the dirt attracted to whatever is leaking. Just a bigger mess...:bash2:
