dclarke 4,032 #38 Posted December 29, 2011 I'd sure like to have one of those wands you keep waving over these tractors and in no time they're like new again. I don't know how you do it Brian, but you do it very well! Nice job, :bow-blue: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brrly1 1,146 #39 Posted December 29, 2011 Denny, I believe Brian has one of those magic wands he just waves over these tractors and they suddenly appear just like he wants them whether it would be original or stainless. Great job Brian as usual. Hows the rj35 moving along? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sscotsman 148 #44 Posted December 30, 2011 Brian, wow, thats a fabulous job! very nice saving those two flood victims.. Im from the Southern Tier myself (Waverly) but live out in Rochester now.. but my Sister and her family live in Nichols..they got off easy..only 5 feet of water in the basement! but their first floor was spared..unlike many people in Owego, Barton, Sayre and Athens.. The neighbors on their street had a grim joke..the family with the *smallest* pile of debris hauled out to the curb wins! gotta keep a sense of humor.. I was down the week after the flood to help them clean up..the whole area was a disaster.. My sisters husband works in Owego, and I have family in Athens..Owego and Athens were hit worse than Agnes in '72..I know of people in Athens who still arent back in their homes yet.. Nice to see a bit of positive news (these two tractors) come out of all of it.. Scot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
