I had a sad misadventure this summer when my Farmall H died in the middle of a mud puddle a mile from home. I had to rebuild the magneto on the spot since I didn't have a good way to get it out. It took me several trips back and forth with various tools and parts and finally I had replaced the coil, condenser, points and internal wires. I was trying to get it to start and I finally realized I had left the rotor in the tin can with the screwdrivers and wrenches. I put the rotor in and it started. It only went about 2/3 of the way home, running badly, and then I had to tow it the rest of the way. Janicholson was very kind and helped me through all of the stages of rebuilding and then with timing it once I got it home. This fall I was skidding logs with it and reached up with my hand from behind the tractor to release the brake so the tractor could roll forward a few inches. I left my finger in the spot between the left pedal and the deck and it got squashed a bit. I was not a very happy camper, but it got better after a while. On another note, once when I was siding a house I set a two level pipe scaffolding on three concrete blocks per leg so I could reach to the top of the wall. After a few hours it fell off the blocks with me on top, but it didn't tip over and I didn't fall off, so it was a lucky day. I decided not to do that again. I'm sure I'll think of more.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
