Combines T3 questions about loewen boot

[D_Mayes]

Two weeks a go this mourning T3 lost his home and every thing in it to a fire.It use to be his Grandfathers house and was over 70 years old.So I think it will be a while before he is on here again.Our prayers go out to him and his family.I don't think he had a lot of insurance.

I'm still here though I have to borrow a computer to keep in touch. Hopefully I can get a new computer soon. About the boot. I took the auger out of the tube and then took the tube and boot off. I used a side grinder the remove the rivets and used 1_4" round head screws in the place of the rivets. Make sure of the position of the tube in relation to the new boot. Shouldn't be a problem as old holes in the tube should line up with the new collar. I had no problem installing new boot and it was one of the best improvements I have made. Hope this helps. T3

Yes we lost everything but I still have my family. My fellow farmers have just been an inspiration to us. Thanks to everyone that has helped us in any way. It just confirms what I have always known- farmers are the BEST!! Talk to you when I can. Eddy
