Something old that you have that you like

[woodworkingboy]

I don't believe you, Willie, or you would have thought to add some spent beer cans too.

My bad

 

[MasterBlaster]

I forgot - I've got the 'lil letter bracelet they give you when you're born. It was made the day I was born. Kinda dusty - it was hanging on a nail.

 

[woodworkingboy]

An antique hospital bracelet, who would of thought? So they had the letters and some nurse strung it together......? Cute.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Didn't they do that for you when you were born? I'm sure it was SOP, back in the day.

 

[sotc]

I don't remember

 

[MasterBlaster]

They'd probably stopped by the time you were born, sonny.

 

[woodworkingboy]

I don't know what they used where I was born.. The earliest thing from my existence that I have seen is my first pair of shoes. Mom or dad spray painted them gold and put them on a piece of wood.

 

[sotc]

Quite possible pops

 

[woodworkingboy]

Willie is of the plastic generation, a miracle of technology. Not him, the bracelet I mean.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Quite possible pops

You danged skippy!

Butch, that is just awfully cute.

Do you mean that it was standard practise in American hospitals when you ( and I ) were born?

 

[MasterBlaster]

I was born on a military base. My brother had the same type of ID.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Wonder if there is any symbolism to the round beads?

 

[MasterBlaster]

I think they were just fillers/spacers so it would fit my wrist and the letters would stick together in a legible manner. It's be cool to know when they stopped doing that and went to that plastic one they use today.

Beautiful Farmall Jack. I drove one of those pulling a ring roller back in about 1969. ANd also a beautiful truck Dave. You been holding out on us? Thanks Al; however, I think that job I would have to see done before I do it. The injector has a bar across it with a couple of bolts that hold the bar down if that helps you any.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Beautiful old Farmall.

I love those old Cats Steve. I hope I can own one someday with a blade. A couple of customers up here have them and still use them all over the land they own.

I haven't seen Matt in ages, since he joined up with us on that fishing trip up at the reservoir. Or is that not the same person? I forget...

Nah, That was Kenn. Matt Mayo is a transplanted Connecticuttian who resides in the Denver metro area, teaches Yoga , and climbs exceedingly well. He used to post on Tree Buzz but not lately(of course I haven't posted there in a long while either).

 

[SkwerI]

OK, now I remember. I met Matt in Baltimore at an Expo in about 2003 I believe. We climbed a huge tree in a park or somewhere.

The injector has a bar across it with a couple of bolts that hold the bar down if that helps you any.

That's what the picture was .Those are the early ones and that injector was for a 7J series D4 ,1940. The only diff between that kind and the later ones used on the 2T ,5T ,6u and 7u was the way they fastened .The later ones had a big giant nut that screwed into the pre chamber instead of the double stud yoke .

If you want for info this place has a ton of it .http://www.antiquecaterpillar.org/

 

[Al Smith]

This is a flash from the past ,1990 .1947 John -Deere A .A dead weight pull with a 1934 JB B and about another ton on the sled . I can't remember if I pulled it or not .

Ha that was when all my hair was the same color and I had arms like iron bands .Geeze a lot has changed since then .
