I always enjoy learning something new and the H that I am restoring gave me a pretty good lesson today. This tractor had a badly frozen block that I learned of as I took it apart. I was lucky enough to find another block at a salvage yard and the price was very reasonable so I felt it was worth the money and effort to restore the tractor. This process has taken about a year now so it isn't something that I have done in a short time frame. I had the tractor all back together last spring and I mounted a cultivator to it and used it to take care of my large sweet corn patch. The tractor started to act up by either only running at idle or running full throttle. I took the cover off of the govenor and could see that it was not getting any oil to lubricate it. I just quit using it and finally last week I took the front end of the tractor off to find out where the oil passage had been blocked. After much thought and looking at the old block that came out of the tractor I localized where the blockage had to be. I pulled the cam out and sure enough the front cam bearing had not been installed with the oil holes in the proper place. The bearings that came with the block seemed ok so I didn't replace them. My lesson learned is to check the bearing alignment with the oil holes. I would have never thought a block that came from a salvage tractor would have that bearing placed in it wrong. Almost back together now and I am looking forward to using the tractor and painting it later on this summer. It was a fair amount of extra work but I guess it was just another one of those lessons!

Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
