Grew up on a farm and Dad had an International 454. Drove it way more than I wanted too, if you know what I mean. Left the farm, joined the military for 12 years, then all over the East guiding and managing hook and bullet stores. Ended up in the Shenandoah Valley of VA a couple of years ago and lucked into a good deal on a 5 acre property. Been mowing all of it with a Husky zero turn.
Been hankering for another old motorcycle to tinker with for a year or so and saw a '51 Ferguson TO 30 with a brush mower about 400 yds from my driveway last month. Everything works just fine, so I brought it home for $1850 and now I have something that I can work on and mows the rough areas on the property. In the meantime, I've been looking for a plow and cultivator to turn in a garden next spring and getting together manuals and such for at least fixing the steering (needs new drag links and a pivot pin and bushing) while I use it for mowing. Plan on restoring it mechanically first, then maybe teach myself to do sheet metal work.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
