Help me find a post before I implode

I swear - every time t think I could search something on YT I am handed my dignity in a flaming bag of manure.

Probably back during baling season I posted about the monitor for my 435 JD baler needing rebuilt. Several replies recommended someplace and how wonderful it was.

I searched. Every post in the world came up. Then every post I ever made came up (I talk a lot). Then even fence posts started coming up. How can I find it?!?!

Can't help you with looking up old posts but I highly recommend Ag Express electronics. They replaced the screen and buttons on my 567 monitor. Fast turnaround time and was a couple hundred bucks if I remember correctly.

I have better luck looking for specific things with google. I add yesterdays tractor and or my handle and usually find what i want on the first page.
I put in "yesterdays tractor notjustir 435 monitor "and yours was first post.

Well if it's something you posted or replied to just search author and your name.

Another alternative is when on Modern view one can left click on your handle(notjustair) as the author of a thread or last responder and the page below will appear then click on "find all posts of notjustair" then scroll down list of your posts to locate post in question.

IMHO this another one of the many advantages of utilizing Modern view over Classic view

I use Ag Electronics with good results. They are fast and seem to have reasonable prices. I have also talked to them on the phone and they took the time to discuss. my project.

I tag my posts with key words, both for those who might use them in the future and for myself. Then I Google them and generally find what I am looking for. I hate searching this site. Those of us who tend to be windbags, finding a post from a year ago can be a trial.

The easiest way I know to do this is to click on Modern View, then click Search (in the red outlined box just above the main part of the window), then in the second box down that says "Author", put in your username. You can add a keyword too if you like in the box just above that. Then when you click the button to search, you should get all your posts that correspond to your keywords.

This won't catch any post made before 2007. That requires using the google type search (Type in for example "yesterdaystractors.com: notjustair JD435"). Our search at the top of each page, is actually google search, but it ignores usernames and I use it for nothing but generic topic searches.
