      Hi John,

      I've gone 4 years without breaking anything but you tend to push a little harder each time. Then something breaks and you realize it's only a tractor. I guess I'll have to put a sign on the dash “THIS IS NOT A D-9”.

       

      I put the steel bar inside the tie rod about 5 years ago and have had no problems with bending since. My steering knuckle seems to have had a prior cracking problem similar to yours (see photo). I don't know if I attached the photo properly – it's a bit complicated. – edit – I guess it didn't work so I put it in the photo album.

       

      Anyway, Tommy took care of me and the part will be on its way Monday.

      Cheers, Peter

          If you enter EPA-HQ-OW-2011-0409-2136 as the keyword search it will take you directly to my comments, click on it then on the pdf box at the comments line.

          If they still don't let you in, hide your tea cup and try again.

          Cheers

            Carl,

            A neighbor about a half mile away who used to walk his dogs in my arroyo.

            We don't have floods here in the high desert. In fact water only flows in the arroyo once or twice a year for an hour or so each time. Some years it doesn't flow at all.

            I need to do the work because I choose to – it's my property. The salt cedars are “weeds” which take over making it impossible to walk through the property, plus they create a fire hazard.

            I have done considerable research. Basically it is Obama and the EPA trying to control everything – similar to greenhouse gasses and the flatulent cows. They are doing an end run around congress. You should see the proposed new corps guidelines for identifying waters of the United States. http://www.regulations.gov Docket ID No EPA-HQ-OW-2011-0409 (I am public comment no 2136). Roadside ditches are not exempt.

            I think I will not get my lawyer involved yet. I'll see how far I get on my own. Sometimes being an innocent unsuspecting homeowner can have its advantages. Hope they don't discover I'm a tea drinker. Yes, I will probably lose but rest assured they will remember me.

            Cheers, Peter
