Randy: I'm probably a long way out of date, I'm an old pipe smoker, and user of wooden matches. Dad was one before me, and between us we wore a hole in the Farmall 300 pan seat from scratching matches on the left hip side of seat. You probably remember those old wooden matches, one could light up his pipe making 5 mph, in a 20 mph headwind on an open station tractor. I used wooden matches or the pipe to measure everything. Over the years there has been more fun poked at my pipe, and attempted tricks on me. Got out of truck one day, leaving 3 teenage farm workers to wait. Those industrious young lads emptied the pipe, filled it 3/4 with dead house flies, then put the pipe material back on top. The unsuspecting me came back to truck, started the engine, grabed my pipe, and immediately remembering it was burned out, thumped out the contents on the outside rear view mirror. As I did that a roar of laughter came out of one of the young lads. " I told you guys you should have put back fresh tobacco, and casually said we filled your pipe as we didn't want to drive all over road while he filled his pipe". I carried those matches loose in my side trousers pocket. Had numerous in pocket fires over the years, even got 2nd degree burns once. I was under rear hitch and bale chamber of baler installing a new needle. Lying on my side and the bottom side pocket caught fire I couldn't get out quick, man did that burn a hole in my thigh. I didn't get a lot of sympathy at out patients either. I was famous for using my pipe as a pointer. One day at a welding shop I was pointing out cracks in front end loader arms I wanted repaired. Finally the welding shop owner asked me how much cow manure I consumed in a year? I looked at him rather puzzled. He said, You've stuck the stem of that pipe in cow manure 6 times, putting the pipe back in your mouth each time. I doubt if it hurt me, that's the reason those Missouri guys are always on my case, they cant understand where I got my good complection. hahaha.

Today's Featured Article -
Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
