Fawns are dropping!

[Okie4570]

Been blessed with a little rain this year? We've been getting some good, well timed rains. Lawn is out of control. It could stand to be mowed twice a week. Haven't even had to irrigate yet.

About 7" in the last couple weeks, going to start building an ark!

Roosta - You been spendin too much time with that gator. You need to mow. I cant say much as I need to bring in a dozer to clear the rest of the roads so I can brush hog.

I haven't seen any fawns, but I have some young deer that like my yard; if I get home late, I'll occasionally scare up one or two that have bedded down in the yard behind the holly bushes next to my driveway.

I did see a gaggle of turkey poults a couple of weeks ago. I came around the corner in the drive, and there was this turkey sitting in the middle of the road. I first thought she was hurt, but then she stood up, and this gaggle of fuzzy little poults took off. I don't think they could've been more than a week old, but they could certainly scoot on those little feet. I had my cell phone in my pocket and a Canon DSLR hanging on the passenger seat back, but I was so enthralled by the scene that it didn't occur to me to grab either 'til momma had herded them off the road into the tall grass...

My grass is a good 18" tall (lots of trees, so it's mostly fescue/rye), but both of my mowing tractors are down, and I've been too lazy to buy the parts. Anyone know where I can buy a 6V coil for an early-production Ford 8N?

Napa Echlin Part# IC670. May be a little higher than others, but they have it in stock at OKC warehouse.

Bring your chainsaw when you come down. I can put you on plenty of practice trees at the ranch.

Thanks!

Weird--if I look for parts for a '48 8N, I don't find the coil in NAPA's online parts search, but if I use that part number, it comes right up. It looks like it's the right part; I'm just wondering if it's $33 better than the one at TSC--but it shows as in-stock in Norman, so I'd save about a dollar's worth of gasoline in not having to drive to Moore.

I have all the practice trees you and I both need. Thank you very much.

Worked for NAPA Norman most of the '70s; that's how I remembered the number. Sold tons of Ford N series parts. Echlin quality is hard to beat, plus Warranty is great!

I was taking my grandson for a ride on the 4 wheeler this morning when I felt a bump and out shot a speckled butt fawn. DANG!! I hope I did not hurt him. The grandson got to see his first fawn. The left front tire may have run over part of his rump.

Hopefully it didn't get hurt too bad.
