Thanks JMS for mentioning it might just be time to say NO!!!!!!!!!! My dad is 82, gets around with a walker now (broken ankle this fall, healed), but for the last 5 yrs he was adimant about having the ability to do tractor work. It almost came to the point of taking the coil wire off the JD so he couldn't get on anymore. One day i went to get on the 70 and he had gone through the junk pile and "made" a couple of "steps" to get on easier. Sad to say though he made them out a single piece of pipe for the step, now this is a person that had difficulty just getting out of the car. Needless to say I bit the bullet of a good a$$ chewing and they came off faster than they went on. It is satisfying knowing the drive is still there to help, but at that age one quits becoming the child and becomes the parent and sometimes "tough love" is a difficult task to do. Even harder when the "kid" is 80!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
