Hey Bama Binder I have the same problem, but retired at a ripe old 54 and thought I would spend eternity working on H's and M's. Seems I have a friend with a service garage who knew my talents at restoring cars and tractors and so I decided to work three days a week after he hounded me. That left four days a week in Farmall paradise.
