Wardner said: (quoted from post at 10:48:06 10/27/09) It does seem unusual that he never mentioned his illness. His last post was on 13 Oct 09, ten days before his passing. I can understand that he would not want to turn this forum into the Hugh MacKay Death Watch Board but it would have been nice for all of us to say goodbye. And it would have lifted his spirits in the last few days. I now presume that his absence for the first 10 days in September was not due to a computer problem. He must have been in a hospital.

I can confirm that Dad did not know he had cancer until Friday October 9th. He worked a regular work-week that week and went to the hospital on Thursday with what he thought was a bad cold. He didn't take a pain killer until two days before he died. He was an enormously strong man.

He had the 130 half-torn apart when he died in order to replace the front crank seal. This is the tractor we use to plow snow. Not being an accomplished Farmall mechanic I have been scouring the forum trying to figure out how to finish the job. I am happy to report I got the thing ready to put back together. It was weird and funny to find his advice archived here. What a great thing!
