Re: Cottonwood is flying

We always have the "snow" in the spring also. This year doesn't seem to be as bad as we normally get. The only reason I can think of for that is the two late killing frosts we had this year.

Re: The weather

Lots of wind here also. It shredded one of my neighbor's pine trees and scattered limbs all over my front yard. The temperature went from 66F at 2pm yesterday to below freezing at 6 pm. The temperature this morning was 22F with a forecast high near 30F.

Re: How many years you got with Case tractors?!

I bought my 1978 446 new in the spring of '78 so it has been mowing my acre of grass for 43 years. :thumbsup:

Re: diy "plastic " bushings

Just for reference, Grainger sells 5/8" ID by 1" OD UHMW tubing. That would probably be less work to slice it to length but more expensive to purchase.
