Sorry to be the first off topic post, but I rely on you guys for being a wealth of DIVERSE knowledge. The back rims on my Allis WF have literally crumbled around the stems and inside the tire beads. (Chloride had been used in the tire fluid, and when it leaks, the result is not good) The rim is a 10 x 28 that clamps on with lugs like a Dayton truck wheel. Does anyone know if the wheels off of a WD, WD45, or maybe an N series Ford will fit. The local dealer has no book on the WF, so I'm kind of lost that way.
The RM administrator told me last Friday that they have received a "complaint" about my yard, and was supposed to come and do an evaluation with me and the area councilor yesterday. If they were there, they went without me. The "developer" that bought 2 1/2 quarters across the road, and decided to start developement at my corner(rather than down the road across from their own place) is saying that my collection is preventing him from selling his development lots. (the fact that they are maybe overpriced by 10 or 20 grand not withstanding) I am hoping for an "organic" resolution, or at worst a panel fence. My darkest fear however,is they may want everything gone. I already have hundreds of fruit trees, but due to the slope of the land (they have high ground) and the required setback from the road for snow reasons (150ft), my things are still visible over the 12ft berry bushes. It has been a real "fun" week, as the stress from this has set off my Bipolar disorder to the point that I have been "rapid cycling" and have had to go back on meds after being off for many months. Does anyone know of a faster growing, taller crop than sunflowers or hemp, or a tree that will do close to 10 ft in the first year?
If my posts seem a little "out there" lately, please bear with until I get "stabilized " again. Thanks J.V.L.
