Toppin the Battry Tale ??.., IdUnno ?, MY 4020 sure played an important role with a Good Christian Man.!........ ,Here Goes ,,Wife splits and takes my 4 children away in 1995. STILL wanted ME in HER LIFE . Wants Me to sell FARM , then, MAYBE divorce , would not be necessary, .....Soo,, Good man across the way Heard I was probably going to sell -out ,.So He and his Son come to buy the 4020 pwr -shift,,. temp was in the mid 40s that winter day ,JD had,nt been touched in weeks . But I knew It would probably start easily .His son climbed up ,Hit the starter button and INSTANTLY both batteries blew off the top, 1st time I ever saw a battery blow . At that point , the good Christain Man said ,,"Lynn , Come On ,, We are not supposed to buy that tractor,"...Lynn Says , "Dad it's only batteries , It's not the tractors fault, those things happen ! ",, Dad , Replied ," Yes , I know , But JIM , will need this tractor to farm , next Year,!" And THEY bid Me Well and Quickly left me alone in the barn ...,And SOO , next year I did Farm ,I did divorce , And got a better than most settlement , Selling the farm would not had kept that marriage together ,.And My children Came to me often than most to visit.
About 5 yrs ago in 2003, Just got elected Co.Commissioner My Son and I sitting at the grain elevator,sAW THE SAME GOOD CHRISTAIN 80 yr old MAN ...,All was well with him and He told Me his son was doing well and we enjoyed a nice chat , Congratulated Me on My hard fought election,,, Then He took me kinda by surprise ,,. When he said , "remember when those batteries Blew on that 4020 ? ,That was one of the few times In my Life when the Spirit Of GOD told me NO!!! , Like CRYSTAL Clear,!,,Jim I'm glad you worked on thru that Mess and you still got the Tractor and your farm , " we both Laughed ,And I nearly choked up in Tears.. Blessings , Jim
