In the 60's I was told to cultivate a field of corn with the Oliver 60. Always ready as a kid to drive a tractor I jumped at the chance. Since the field was right beside the road Grandad said go Slow & do it right, it's beside the road. After hearing that I knew, I'd never get the chance to cultivate for him again if I screwed up.. 1st gear near the road & 2nd gear after I got out of seeing distance from Grandad. After a few hours , man was this Boring!! I got off the tractor in the back to relive Mother nature & I stepped on a Spear Head, about 6" long & Cole black, Was going to put in my frt pocket & that God is cut me. So i placed it in the Tractor tool box & continued on my task.. The Very next day going to church, Grandad said the field looked great & said Look there must be a turtle down there in the corner of the field. Then I remember, Grandad I found a Spear head down there & put it in the tractor tool box. I forgotten all about it.. We went to church & Grandad assumed I missed the box & it fell back onto the ground. We marched up the Oliver & there in the box was the spear head. We also saw that the same turtle was in the same place in the field. Grandad said lets walk up there & see what that is? The sun shone & reflected off another Spear Head, that looks the same as the first one I found, He say's look We have a Pair!! they were about 40 feet apart.. Was a great find & a fine Memory. My sister & I mounted them on plywood, coverd in green felt & then a 2" thick box with a Glass front. Placed the other arrow heads that grandad found over the years, along with some old wrenchs that had turned up over the years.
We gave that to grandad on his 85th birthday With lettering inside that said 60+ years of farming. He displayed that on the Living room wall & would often just stare at it. I supose reminicing the events.. He never seen his 87th Birthday, in the short time he had his collection he would point it out to every vistor as they walked in.. Most of his vistors would hear the same story again & again, I would love to hear him tell it to me, one more time.......

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
