Yep they are down there and i did pick up a few. The interesting things we found down there were a CSA sturup (sp) and a CSA belt buckle . As this farm was just a couple miles from where they captured The Morgan radiers. Those items were found down next to the creek bottom just south of the old mill site. No i did not find the GOLD , dang. The other interesting things i found was only one rock in all the plow ground and a sink hole that opened up under me while plowing the one field . I had a 67 706 narrow ft. and a 1466 12 slot ft weight bracket on the nose that was full of 100# weight and two 150 donuts hug on with a chain to keep or i should say try and keep the ft wheels somewhat on the ground . So you would figure that if you found a soft spot that the nose would go to china first , Nah that did not happen , i had just lifted the plows to cross the grass water way and the ft. end went across with out making a wheel track but when the back tires hit the middle of the water way the tractor just fell out from under me . The 710 4 bottom had the ft two bottoms buried to the beam and the back two and tail wheel were sticking up in the air a good four feet off the grond at the tail wheel. I had to step UP to get off the tractor onto the ground. At the time i owned one tractor one plow one disc one corn planter and one grain drill and one Massey 300 combine and one four wheel drive Ford F250 pickup. Well we will try the truck with the tire chains , yea wright that did not work. So i asked a friend if he would bring his 1086 down with the duals to help pull me out . Ah no that was not working , so we added the pick up to the mix ah ya. No that ain't working . So i went and asked a guy that i did not know if he could bring his 4840 over and try and help . Well one 1086 with duals , one 4840 with duals and one pick up with chains on all four wheels would not shake it . so plan A did not work and plan B did not work plan C did not work and plan D did not work. So next step make the 40 mile drive up to another friend and borrow his low boy and 750 JD dozer with a 60000 Lbs winch . So that is what i did . I have pulled dragged winched many pieces of oil Field equipment in and out of nasty places with a 750 Deere and i am here to tell ya my 706 was STUCK BIG time . It was not just back up to it and put the winch line on it and give a little tug and out it came , lined out about fifty seventyfive feet dropped the blade and set the brake after i tryed to track it out and just spun the tracks . When i started to spool in when the line went tight instead of said tractor and plow moving to the dozer it was dozer moving to the tractor and plow . I had to bury the blade in as deep as i could and spin the tracks in till i had a mound of dirt behind them with the dozer setting about a 20degree angle and still almost pulling it out of the holes before the tractor and plows came out . The area around this farm was heavily strip mined over the years and also deep mined and bored . Only thing we could figure was either the roof of and old deep mine gave way or a bore hole collapsed as there was no mud or wet dirt in the hole . To fill that hole it took eight 16 foot tandem dump loads of rock and shale and some dirt to fix the water way.

Today's Featured Article - Pitfalls of Tractor Engine Rebuilds - by Chris Pratt. The first pop after you have put the machine together with your own hands is exciting and pleasing. The whole experience can be marred if one moves too fast and makes too many assumptions that they can just use "as is" some parts they should be closely scrutinizing and possibly attended to. In such cases, rework makes what could have been a fun project turn into an irritant or even a nightmare. Minor Irritants To give you an example of an minor but irritating proble
