I went back to Larry@Stinescorners thread but had forgotten about a story a friend told me years ago till tonight. My friend had gone off to college and while he was not a part of his father's farm business once the friend graduated (engineer) he did live near by. Not too long after the friend picked up an 8N and a Farmall H just to play with. One day he stopped by the dad's place and lamented he did not have any heavy chores to really work those tractors. The dad said he had what he needed for tools in terms of mowers, rakes, and so-forth (for the other tractors) but by golly would find a way to put the 8N and the H to work and work HARD. The dad was at an auction and had a friend who he could trust with an opinion when a small silo blower (NH 25) came up for bid. The friend told the father while he was not going to set the world on fire with the 25 he could make it work with the old tractors using common sense. Surprised my friend as he thought the old man would buy a mower the father did not really want to help the son out. Each tractor had its turn blowing a few dozen loads up the pipe. If weather got to be an issue then the bigger blower and tractor came out. Probably a better story to me knowing the people involved and the initial unpredictability of the situation. Also, I love nothing more than an old style silo-filling story.

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
