Teaching school is OK. The first year has been somewhat rough on me, really rough at the beginning. The last couple of months have been awesome, really. Getting to know what works and what doesn't takes time and experience. I think that next year will be great. These kids are only interested in TV shows and video games. There is one that is really interested in cars, so I offered to have him come over and help fix/maintain my car so he can learn. "That sounds like work, no thanks." so he isn't really a car guy then. Doesn't even want a ride in my del Sol targa top (almost a convertible)... I am trying to teach them something about farming when I can so that they are a little more educated about where the food they eat comes from. Like already mentioned, all 619 cubes. There are several differences between the 30, 40, and 50 series engines. Each was an improvement on the previous. The 30 series biggest problems were: hard starting, cracking heads and blocks. The threads in the block of the 30 series came all the way to the top of the deck (flush) so when you tightened the head bolts the threads actually pulled up out of the block slightly, causing problems. The 40 series engine had threads recessed into the block, along with a better injector pump, etc. 50 series improved on this further. 30 series engines seem to be lucky to last 5000 hours (this one only made 4000 before being replaced) and the 40 series last 10,000 or more. Haven't researched the 50 series yet. I prefer the JD 4x4 in the earlier years. The newer CaseIH (9280) etc. seem to be good in our area.

He said that he had some corn that he still needed to pick with an antique one-row New Idea corn picker. Scott has a nice farm about an hour north of Lansing in St. Johns, MI. He wanted to get the rest of his corn in by the next day (Christmas Eve). We had about an inch of new snow on the ground and single digit temperatures. So in the bac
