Thanks you all, much appreciated! @Spike188 honoured the bill for the next quarter. You probably noticed no more new users lately. This is probably because I had to turn off robot crawling, so Google skips us momentarily. The site was being killed by the volume of traffic caused by the robots. I really want us to move to the other provider and upgraded service, then I'll turn on the crawling again. I just need to find the time and energy to deal with the site move, plus I have to store somewhere temporarily the entire 150GB of data.

This is my update.

Eugen, I too would be willing to sponsor for another 3 months or more. Tell me how to do it, and it will be done. I know I haven't posted for quite some time. Had some issues for a while there!

For whatever it is worth: I sold the 4118 and mower deck last summer to a guy that he and his dad used to have a 446 and they liked it a lot but it tried to run away every time they went down a hill. Gee whize! Anybody ever seen that???? Anyway he, as well as many who saw it thought it looked Brand new. Which is why I was some anal about tearing everything apart and rebuilding to "like new" And then I really got anal about getting the paint just right.

He decided to run it up down hill at my house with the deck kicked in a few times and when he stopped I asked what he thought. He stated that he really like the power steering, and he liked the way the newer tractors have solved the free wheeling. He stated that he needed to talk to his father about the issue. No Problem for me! Next day he hands me $1000 and asked if I could hold it for 2 weeks till he got paid. 2 days later he shows up with the rest of the money and offers me an extra $100 to deliver it 13 miles up the road. I declined the extra offer and delivered it the next day.

Both he and his father think it is a wonderful tractor. And they got to use it for a few months before winter set in last fall.


Anyway let me know how I go about get money to you for sure. I don't mind you having the money now, even though you might have enough currently. An AG Chat site I go to takes donations about once a year and only has the window open for a few hours before their needs are met. Sometimes it happens so fast that I haven't gotten my donation in soon enough!

Keep up the good work!
