Announcement
 

:Announce:

OCC is going to be going through an upgrade within the next 10 days. The Forum Software (VBulletin) is going to be upgraded to the current version. We have ran the present version since March 2009. This should eliminate the glitches we have seen in the past.

There will be a Shut Down in order to accomplish this. A specific Date and Time will be forthcoming.

Then we are good for another 8yrs? :biggrin2:


PS: I like the cub at the top of the page! :beerchug:

That is a unique tractor. It is a prototype Original with a Sundstrand Hydro.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...............:biggrin2:

Hydros rule!!! :biggrin2:

Does someone here have it? That is awesome. I like prototypes.

I was saying no to the forum being down not the hydro O.

I bet this will look a little different! :beerchug:

Last I knew it was in the factory that owns the sunstrand company. I thought it was in Tennessee. If I remember what I read correctly, it does not have damper springs on the trunnion so the first time the guy drove it it pulled a huge wheelie, then flipped and dumped him off.


Roland thanks for working on our site.

Thanks Roland for keeping this going for us.

Sure hope not, I hate change...

WHAT AM I GONNA DO WHEN WE'RE DOWN?:Cry1::Cry1::NailBite::NailBite:

Here I come WFM.:biggrin2:

Just ragging on ya Roland! You do a great job on the best garden tractor site on the net.

Yes Roland... and all the other admins.. thank you for all the thankless and unpaid work you all do here!!:beerchug::beerchug:

I'm an IT server and network administrator, and I know how upgrades go.... 50/50 balance between smooth transition and a disaster... Good luck Roland, we're all counting on you.

Maybe every time I post pictures from my iPhone post upgrade, they won't be upside down? I know my pictures are right side up when I take them and view them. I've started opening the pictures on my computer and re-saving them before I post to make sure they're right side up.

:beer2:

I have talked with the Program People and "they" it should be a smooth upgrade. Since it is the same company, I have to take them at their word, on the surface.

I am confident that our Host Server (Tim) has the knowledge and expertise to make the upgrade as good and smooth as possible.

I phone pictures will post here Correctly if you hold the phone horizontally with the home button on the right side while taking the picture.

Is this still going to happen?:bigthink:

I thought it did already?

Absolutely! THANK YOU ROLAND, AND THE REST OF YOU GUYS TOO!!! I dont get on much this time of year but its great knowing you guys are all here to help, not only with problems with cub but seeing all these old tractors and reading the posts kinda gets me outta my own head, if that makes any sence?!
