Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Anthony. Born and raised just outside North Adams, MI. Spent most of my life here, other than 3 years in the Chickasha/Anadarko, OK area when I was in my early 20's. Currently just outside Moscow, MI.
Grew up on 20 acres, loved baling hay. Had a few cows and hogs. My dad had two Farmall H's and two Farmall M's when I was a kid, so I'm partial to Farmall/International. I have a JD single bottom, hand trip, steel wheel plow that used to be dad's. I have pictures of him using it back in '71 about a year before I was born.
Dad's a whole 'nother story. He was born in Germany in 1938, remembers planes making bombing runs over the house in WWII while he played in the yard with his donkey. His dad had several ships but they were all lost during the war. Anyway, he moved over here in the '60's(I think) and here I am.
As far as jobs & work, I was picking rocks for a penny apiece for the farmer across the road from home when I was 12. I've worked as a mechanic(RentX in Chickasha, OK), mechanic/equipment operator for bridge construction company(did the bridge on 44 just south of OKC), residential construction/remodeling for 12+ years, now I operate a 7 1/2' electric chain saw in the sawmill at a pallet & box company. Also do pretty much whatever maintenance they need, short of playing with 480. That stuff makes me nervous.
lol funny story there. Was troubleshooting the 3 head bandsaw one day. I forget what was wrong but I was doing electrical testing with the power on. Stupid, I know. Reaching into the guts of the power box, just about to put the leads where I needed to test, thinking "darn, this could kill me"...was carrying my cell phone in front pants pocket at the time, set on vibrate...suddenly cell phone goes off, takes me completely by surprise, I'm thinking early stages of electrocution, darn near wet my pants...was my lady sending me a text message. lol I love that woman, love her more than anything, but she almost gave me a heart attack. Figured that was a good sign to shut down the power before doing more. The good Lord has spared me more times than I care to admit.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
