My Grandfather was a farmer until the horses left the farm. Then because of his mechanical skills (motorcycles) he became the township tractor and implement mechanic. He rented out his land. His shop was a small wooden shed. Lined floor to ceiling with tools. Each in it's own position, not to be disturbed. Perhaps 3 of each size crescent from 4 inches to 24 inches. If I "borrowed" one tool and din't get it back he would notice it in less than 2 days.
So, when he came in the house one night, about 1949, I was 9, and said he had lost a tool, a 3 foot crowbar, he would use to adjust the disc. , I was just estatic! But not for long. The next day, He and I and Grandma, and my sister walked around in a 160 acre field where he had been discing for the renter for hours, no crowbar.
2008. I am in that field to deer hunt. I put up my ground blind. I went inside. I carry a small gardener's little rake thingy, to level ground for a pickle pail stool. I am leveling the ground and I hit something. A three foot crowbar. A one in 6,880,000 shot. Now it's hanging in my shop with the 8 others that I have. And if one of the Grandsons moves it, I'll know it. Poor little tykes:(

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945.
