George: I realize the gag idea, however I think somethng was missing from the gag. All that was on my whole screen was about 2 doz. repeats of what I quoted in the earlier post.
I was tempted to call you "Chicken George". That dates back to retired neighbor we had, named George. Very industrious type of guy, into all sorts of gardening and raising chickens he called meat birds. He always viewed my Super A as being Marg's tractor, and as such was always trading chicken and assorted ornamental plants with Marg. for the use of the tractor. Plus he always helped her with her garden as well. Marg. was always asking me how to control George on some of his exuberant landscaping ideas. She didn't want to insult him, he was like a built in hired gardener, would baby sit the kids, etc. Plus any excess chicken went in our deep freeze. Our diet was rather heavy on chicken in those days. Finally as our kids got older and Roots ran on TV, they started calling him Chicken George, not to his face, however Marg. was always afraid one of them would let it slip when he was around. Just one of those neighbors with too much time on his hands. He would take the SA and do up other folks gardens, then give Marg. all the money the SA took in from other folks. One year he was tending 22 gardens with the SA. I gave up on ever wanting the tractor for my own use.
I did like it for raking hay and I had two rakes. Normally I raked with both SA and 130, but that year it was 130 and 300. I sometimes wondered if he wasn't doing better net profit than my 1066 on custom work. At least George never broke anything, plus he wheeled and dealed his own operator's pay.

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
