Got my business cards in today. They turned out nice.
I ended up taking the tractor to the local dealer though. I've been messing around with the hydro linkage for a year now and can't seem to get it just right. When on a hill it'll slow way down and sometimes won't move on a hill in reverse, not even spin the tires. It feels like it wants to go but won't which has lead me to believe it's something with the linkage instead of the pump. I messed with it for a while today and had enough. I finished up the job I was at and took it strait to the dealer for them to fix.

So i havent filled up Fiddy since January, but i did on Saturday. Its been 501 miles, and i used less than 26 gallons, ended up with 19.3 mpg. Not bad considering i run her hard on the few days i do drive her, including 4 passes at the 1/8th track. Little bit of highway driving, maybe 75 miles of that was highway @ 65.
Very happy with my 100,000 mile truck

I'm having a hard enough time moving after Sunday that if I were to kneel on the floor I may not get back up. The years of abusing my body is coming back to haunt me in the form of arthritis, lower back, and shoulder pain.
