About 20 some years ago, I tried to bench press a TD9 and got laid up for some time. Iwas still hobbleing around on crutches, and went down to the shed we'd built and had the SIL building a loading chute on. Nosy. Coming back out, I figured I'd go down later and just hung the gate chain over a nail on the post. But the long walk did me in, and I never made it back down. About 2AM we got a phone call. SWMBO amswered it. "Do you have cows" Yes. "Are they black" Yes. "They're in the middle of the road"
The next morning was opening day, and we all jumped up and pulled some warm clothes on. I started the loader tractor, and went out and got a bale of hay on the forks. Half of the herd followed me back down to the barn, where they had pushed the chain off the nail I hung it on. They were easy. A neighbor heard the ruckus and pitched in. SWMBO, the neighbor and daugther went after the other half the herd, which headed for a development that sits next to the farm. The cows circled back towards the pasture via a woods that sits between us and the developement. Another bale of hay and they followed me back into the pasture with the neighbor and our daughter hot on their tails. When the gate got closed, we were only missing the Boss. She showed up a few minutes later and was madder than all geddown. "How'd them d--- cows get through that fence? I was chasing them and got hung up in it. I thought I'd never get out. I thought you'd find a skeleton next spring." What fence? "That split rail fence up in the back of that development". That's just a few sections of an ornamental fence someone put up, why didn't you just go around it? When she saw it the next morning, she still didn't see any humor in it. She had tried to go though it and got the hammer ring on the carharts hung on something on the fence, and thought she'd never get loose again....she still doesn't like chasing cows.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
