Machinest in southern Ill. special orders a '99 Sub new w/all the goodies inc 3:73 posi rear and t/c floor shift. Sticker is $ 43,000.00. Gets it home and instantly undercoats inside doors and other know to rust areas. Puts custom fit seat covers on all seats and full floor mats front/rear. Stores away original floor mats. During it's 73,000 mi life with him , he replaces all wheels inc spare with Am, Racing wheels , Optima gel battery, KN air filter etc. Garage kept and washed/waxed religiously. Now for the "brag" part, I had been looking on Craig list in southern states for this exact vehicle. I had a '99 and loved it and the body style so took a shot that maybe a retiree in the south just MIGHT be ready to sell. Well you guessed it, he isn't quite retired yet but they didn't need the Sub any more and thought they were ready to sell . Made the deal over phone , took trailer down from MI.He said I was the first one to see the seats uncovered since it was new. First vehicle I ever looked at that was BETTER than seller described. This thing was imaculately clean and untouched. They allmost called me night before and backed out on selling it. His wife cried when we left with it. Bassically I bought a "new" '99 Suburban for $8500! ( Sold my old '99 for $3500 so traded for $5500) I havn't figured out what it must have cost him per mile to own this for only 73000 mi. Even under hood was perfectly clean as new. You could eat off the underbody. At 62 , this will be the last one I need to buy. The VW Tdi Jetta Turbo Diesel is our mileage vehicle. Just goes to show what patience , positive thinking and a computer can do. I don't make a habit of bragging but had to tell this story and show pics. Don't beat me up too bad. RB Incidentally , he made that trailer wiring box out of solid billet aluminum with O-ring seals on ends and door in his hobby machine shop in his garage. Machinists can be meticulous people and I'm glad.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
