One sound I can just barely remember at all was an old farm truck we had. We had an old 1947 Dodge 2 1/2 ton truck with the old flat head six. I can just barely remember hearing that truck run because they parked it when I was very little. My great aunt used to drive it to town some. She didn't mind the double clutching. I also remember the sound of the Ferguson rake we had. I remember if it had bent teeth on it as I raked hay the teeth hitting the stripper bars would make a pattern of sound. I can remember listening to those teeth for hours on end and it actually making me sleepy. In addition to the sounds some of the sights growing up I fondly remember. I remember we had an old Dearborn pull type combine that stayed in one barn we had and it was on the side of the barn that they had carved away part of a bank to build it and the wall on that side was mostly cinder block and the door was always down. That combine looked huge to me when I was little, but being that it was on the dark side of the barn it scared the bejesus out of me. To get into the tobacco basement you had to walk by the hood on the end of it where the straw came out of it and I hated it. There was no lights in the barn except for the tobacco basement and I never knew what was up in that thing looking back at me...lol. I can remember seeing my grandfather pull it with the 165 combining oats and I thought that was the coolest machine I had ever saw run. I only got to see it run a few times but I have never forgotten it. I have one now but it needs restoring. I remember the sight of getting off the school bus and seeing that 165 hooked to the new idea corn picker we had. I would run at top speed to get to the field because I only got to use the corn picker a few days a year. I also remember the horrible racket that thing made...

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
