Ron: I personally don't agree with Gene's accessment. Oh yes the item he mentions may well be the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak. Old was around here when I came in 1999, a very knowledgable person who always knew the econimical fix to most problems. He's never made a lot of noise, just good sound ideas.
I'm not certain one can hang around here for a lot of years, doing the kinds of answers Old, George, Jim, myself, and many others provide. I could go on and on about others who have come and gone. I find myself not bothering with a lot of threads I would have just two years ago. I look at it this way, if the guy is getting good advice, let it go. There have been a lot of new and very capable folks come along in the past few years, some of them received most of their training right here, and are doing a great job. Others are completely new to the computer but have a lot of tractor knowledge upstairs.
I haven't checked lately but I must be approaching 50,000 posts in that 10 years, 5,000 per year, hell that is 13 per day. How many times do you suppose I've answered the same question.

He hasn't been around near as long as Old or I have, probably surpassed us with his numbers. You don't see him as much anymore. Plain and simple guys, if you answer a lot of questions on here there becomes a point of burnout. Fair warning I've almost reached that point.

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
