Guys, I won't close this thread. Maybe it's good to allow you guys to vent. So I'll toss in my 2 cents. I probably spend 4-5 hours everyday trying to help members get correct answers that allow them to fix there tractors. Pay sucks. I spend a considerable amount of time researching the web in order to give the best answer that I can as do the other mods. Realistically I stand nothing to gain if your tractor runs or not. I know how to fix my stuff, everything I own runs. I do have an issue when a member gives wrong info and then get's into an argument when someone points out that he or she is wrong.

The 2 members that are the center of attention have repeatedly posted or started threads asking a question, and it seems that when they don't get the answer they are expecting they go into argument mode. Yep I remember being a teen when I knew everything, funny but as I get older I realize that I was wrong on so many occasions (wish I could apologize to my Dad) but at least I was taught to treat my elders with respect something that seems to be sadly lacking today. I agree that maybe it would be smart if the Mods only made one post or no post's saying that they disagree with the poster that is giving wrong info and then let the rest of you guys have at it. Probably what I will do in the future, as I said if your stuff don't go not my problem and I'm seriously tired of being the bad guy. Guess I'll just move threads that in the wrong area or tell the new members that are only on OCC to sell stuff that they haven't complied with the rules. It will make life much simpler for me. Well I've said pretty much what I want to say so I'll shut up now cause I'm just an Old Man that doesn't get it. Happy Cubbing Kids.
