Janicholson,
Gosh, I sure hope you didn"t think I was making fun of Red Mist. It"s been so many years since farmers have plowed, I now find a whole generation of guys that have never pulled a plow. I did a lot of plowing in the 1950-1960 era, in that wonderful black soil of Iowa, and am now glad to pass on whatever help I can give. I notice that old plows are bringing more money the last couple years, and I hope that that old iron is being put to work. I have a "prettied up" H Farmall and a "prettied up" #8 Little Genius plow for parades and shows, but I get them dirty once or twice a year for plow days; it"s the sweetest sound to hear tractors work with plows. And the smell of that newly worked soil...it"s just like perfume. I am now working on getting 20 guys with old tractors and plows to plow up a storm in late April...spectators, whole families, come to watch, and a 4-H club sells the food. I can hardly wait!

PS: Red Mist, I hope you drop that plow in the ground this Spring!

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.
