I grew up on my grandfathers farm that he worked shares with a distant relative In the early 50s the 15-30 McCormick and the Case three man baler were traded in for another IHC M So there was two Ms and WC Allis Chalmers. The WC was traded for a WD and about that time an 8N Ford was added to use a back blade cleaning the old sheep barns. There was room for fifty milk cows They were milked with two Universal can milkers. Hogs were farrowed and raised in addition to a large chicken coup. The hay was put up loose with a Case chopper and an Allis Chalmers blower The same pair did the silage corn.

Next change was a pipeline milker and a barn cleaner. The oldest M was traded in for a 556 About that time I got a drivers license and got a job in town

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
