Martin 2,132 #15 Posted December 16, 2015 Russ, please don't give up! God knows us younger guys still need the knowledge of 'more experienced in life' guys like yourself. I pray you recover well enough to be able to continue to enjoy and share your knowledge with the tractors and life in general. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope you can recover and be able to work on your tractors but if you can't work on them maybe still ride and enjoy them. You can still be an active member hear cause it just wouldn't be the same without your wisdom. I have learned a great deal from you and I really appreciate all your help.

GlenPettit 1,716 #23 Posted December 16, 2015 Also sorry to hear about this, and thank you for letting use know, another good reason for each us to be a lot more careful all-the-time. At 72, I well know we have to carefully modify what and how we do things, so we can keep doing what we want to, in a safer and maybe slower way. Take care, keep thinking and planning ahead and remember that it is you who is in control of your recovery process . . . . Glen 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
