He's taking over the Forum and we're all getting booted off. (Or at least me anyway). :-)

That does not surprise me; in reference to 60,000 and 5000 registered people that is. The amount of mechanical knowledge on here is INCREDIBLE!!

Other than an ability to weld and machine, I don't have much to add to the forum, but I do like to post stuff with some human interest such as what my dozer is doing at least.

Between truckloads of gravel this week I looked over my machine pretty closely and know where a lot of the worn pins are and need to start getting them replaced.

Sorry, Besty was a spammer, we're back to 4999. I assume it was Pat registering under a pseudonym trying to win the big prize!

So you are telling me that BetsyBertha really was NOT in need of $10,000 in order to get her Great Grandmother home from Romania and that I should not have wired her half of it up front to help the poor little woman out?

Great, now you tell me; a spammer. :-(

It's a shame we had a scammer but at least we get to celebrate the 5000th member all over again! How often do you get to celebrate a milestone like this twice!

Numbers are just that. It' s what they represent that counts. I've had the pleasure of learning from a bunch of our fellow 4999 members. Thanks. Paul
