10. The sight of a John Deere fills you with a slow, boiling rage.
9. Somebody says "Oh, that never worked right from the factory" and you see it as a compliment.
8. "A little typical rust" to you means "a little metal left" to anyone else.
7. You consider rust and primer to be a two-tone paint job.
6. The answer to "What year is your truck" is "What part of it?"
5. Slamming a door really hard three times to get it to latch is perfectly acceptable.
4. "Ran when parked ten years ago" is an apt description for most or all of your projects.
3. "Pass me the window screen and Bondo" is the most commonly heard phrase in your shop.
2. You always blame 'The Green Wire' when something goes wrong.
1. You see all these new cars and products with a lowercase 'i' in the name and say "Oh, please... IH was using a lowercase i LONG before it ever became 'cool' and 'trendy'!"

Pretty funny Chuck, and yet very true. #10 got me thinkin', when you hear Jason Aldean's "Big Green Tractor" or Joe Diffie's "John Deere Green" on the radio, I bet you change the station! HAHAHA

I realize, too, many of these apply to Jeep owners, as well! Oh, Bogger... that 'Big Green Tractor' song makes me want to kill people... MOSTLY the (expletives) who use it as a ring tone!

6. The answer to "What year is your truck" is "What part of it?" Funny but VERY true! We had a problem with this at our show this past weekend. A friend drove in from Maryland in his multi-year Frankenstein F350 and broke an axle (don't ask). After searching everyones spares, local junkyards, and Pull a Part in the East Tennessee rain we found the correct length axle for his Dana 60. Apparently there are at more than 4 lengths (we had four) and his was very rare, from an ambulance with limited slip. Man, I thought he was going to have to drive all the way back in front wheel drive. J

I've had that happen on my '81 F-250- there are some '80 and '83 bits mixed in. Gotta love the cobble jobs!

I know what you mean with the number 6 but I have to add on " What make is the part" as well when I had my old 66 sc80 scout ( They are as rear as hens teeth over here) I got use to walking in to the wreckers and asking I need one of these can I have a look in your yard to see if I can find something that can be modified to do the job, And don't even start me on the green wires with the smallest numbers ever stamped on the that always have part of the numbers rubbed off. Despite all of this I love my scouts to death and will always own at least one

Top Ten Signs you might be an IH truck freak... #11. You look fevershly though the hobbyshop to find a 1/8 scale Chrysler PT Cruiser. To lop off the back, add a bunk and some running gear and call it a Lonestar.
