T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,602 #3 Posted January 19, 2009 Jerrell, Isn't this the second time you were in my neck of the woods? Too bad you couldn't have stopped off, but then again, we had a little emergency with my oldest granddaughter, so I doubt if I could had met you anyways. Where at in Illinois was you? And which RS member did you visit? :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

linen beige 15 #5 Posted January 19, 2009 james huffman, a great guy and lover of horses, I bought my 704 and a snow plow from him a couple years ago. Super nice guy, and really into 'Horses. I didn't know he was a member here. Chime in Huffster! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jusjeepn 59 #6 Posted January 19, 2009 Unless he's joined recently, he is not a member here, Yet. Jim's a super nice guy who buy's and sells more than collects. Jim hasn't acquired the affection for these red tractors like so many of us have. He does have a lot of parts and a lot of parts tractors but they come and go pretty quickly. Super, super nice guy! I talk with him almost weekly to see what he has for sale before he posts on fleabay. He is the JOP for wheel horse parts though. You need it, he has it or can get it! I recommend him very highly for projects or parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,602 #7 Posted January 20, 2009 As far as I know, he is not a member here. If I had his email address or phone number, I would send him the site's address. If he was interested, that is. He is not all that far from me, but still too far for me just to drop in. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerrell 1 #8 Posted January 20, 2009 :whistle: hummm, he told me he was a member but hadn't been on the forum for quite a while, told me his forum name but i didn't write it down and forgot it when i got home.He showed me his horses, about 10/12 and his shop was full or parts, he was rebuilding 3 and had a garage full, i will have to try to find my sent posts and see if i can get his number, T-MO he is about 1 hr past Chester . Strange!!! :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,602 #9 Posted January 20, 2009 Jerrell, He very well could be a member, I just don't know. I just never seen a post from him, that's all. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eibbed 63 #10 Posted January 20, 2009 Jerrell, When you were in Freeburg, IL you were only about 10 miles from O'Fallon, IL where I live. I have also met Jim, and as you say, he is a very nice person. I have never been to his place, but from what you have described, it is definitely a place I would enjoy visiting. I'll probably get over that way in a week or two. If you ever get back up this way give me a holler. Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
