Again, this time, the deer hit us as much as we hit him. The front left quarter panel and the extreme left corner of the front bumper was damaged. Unfortunately it all got pushed into the tire, so it really wasn’t drivable, plus it busted out some lights.<div><br></div><div>In both cases I feel like a warning might’ve stopped them dead in her tracks because they were both hauling $%# and came out of nowhere.

<p>We have deer as thick as ticks on a country dog here. Knock on
Wood, we have had may near misses, but our vehicles have those
"Deer Whistles"on the bumpers. We get them at Wal Mart, they
look like little horns that stick on the front bumper. About $3
for a set. So far, in 25 years we have not hit one. Saying
that, probably jinxed my luck...... <br>
here they are on

Thanks Joe!

<div>I did get the wheel off the hub tonight. It did require the
use of my Harbor Freight “porta -a-power”(small hydraulic ram).
That wheel was rusted pretty tight against the hub. I did not
have much trouble with the lug nuts. But I had been soaking them
with penetrant. They came out pretty well. Now if I could only
find the right size taps and dies to chase out and clean the
bolts and hub I’d be good. :-). I won’t know where any of this
stuff goes. I could have sworn I knew right where they were....</div>

<div>A deer decided to jump out in front of us Sunday night, so my
wife’s vehicle is in the body shop. Which means she is using my
truck (yes I somehow overlooked/forgot the rental car rider for
the insurance policy). Hopefully I can get to the tire shop on
Thursday at lunch when she doesn’t need to use the truck to get
the tire switched between the wheel that is bad, and the new
wheel. Should be done by next week.<br>

<div>Spencer, for some long period of time the 430V always
parked outside with little covering of any kind. When I
first visited the farm, I immediately went to Harbor
Freight and bought a large silver tarp and totally covered
it. That rim and tire on that tractor that were
deteriorated faced to the North under some shade trees.
The tire was flat. I took over my generator and air
compressor and pumped up the tire. That is probably why
the tires/rim on other side faced South and was in the
sun. You made both June and I very happy to read all the
TLC you've done to that special tractor. You truly have
something to be proud of for a long time! Joe Hardisky
