Well, I never thought the day would come, but I am giving up on the nicest Farmall I ever laid my eyes on. I bought it on the net, all restored, including a professional engine rebuild. I couldn't wait to get it home, because I worked for a farmer who bought one new in the late 40's and he would never let me even sit on it. Oh well, I was making a buck a day, so what more could I expect. The seller never told me the clutch wasn't working right, so here I am with a beautiful looking tractor that I can't play with. I feel like a kid left sitting on the bench for the last football game of the season. I'm older than dirt, have high mileage, can't do squat, because of a back injury that keeps me on 8 perkies a day, so I sure can't fix it myself. I live in NY State, where most farmers have given up farming and I just can't find anyone to fix "big-red". The ol' farm scene ain't what it used to be! Today "big red" goes up for trade, or for-sale for $1000. less than I got in it, so someone with the strength and knowledge could get a great tractor. I'm not too pleased about this, because I've never given up on anything in my life. I just can't fix it, and I'll be hornswaggled if I just let that beautiful piece of machinery sit in the barn and take up space.

With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
