The Old Big Dog

[Rambo]

I’m worn out

Easy ole rascal, slow down. Better build a guard shack down there before you start rolling some cool blue smoke of the ole big dog.

It’s been a long day Brother; the flat tire on the tractor sent me over the edge; I’m cool now; having a couple of glasses of Kendel Jackson Chardonnay

Always seemed a theory if not a law that tractor tires always flatten out. On the old farm as a kid we had 50 pasture acres of mesquites and black locust trees til we finally bulldozed them all (nobody in this world is happier than a 16 year old running a small CAT and punching out stumps). My Dad just got tired of buying gallon jugs of Berryman’s stop leak.

Glad the big dog is back in the yard, enjoy.

Finally got time to spray new Grates and raw metal. She should be seasoned when that Red Oak burns out . She’s at 350 now, should be perfect

I don’t have it set exactly where I want it; I have to wait until one of the Kids come by to help me set in place

Fantastic restoration Rambo. Nice to see the thin blue puffing out of it. Just beautiful.

Thanks. We just got her in the final resting spot 20 minutes ago. I had to wait until my yard man and his helper were here to help me set it. It kept swinging on the chains and I couldn’t set it. I had the bush hog on previously when I was trying but took it off this morning to give myself more room to set it in a tight place behind our gazebo. When I picked it up first time, the back left tire on the tractor came off the ground, pretty scary moment. We Re-Hooked the chains and walked it to the spot with the legs maybe 2” off the ground. I don’t know how much this SOB weighs but it will pick up the back end of a tractor if you raise it too high. It’s been quite an experience but I think it will be well worth it. I appreciate everyone’s interest and kind remarks

I’ll have to shim it up to get it level but it’s close
