Well my 99 Dakota need brakes again, did calipers, pads and rotors 3 years ago, not that many miles on them, but with all the salt NY dumps on the roads, and the cheap china made parts, there shot. Well I'm driving last week and I hear a thumping than it went away, get home take tire off and see inner pad fell out separated from the metal. Anyway it's pretty cold out so I asked my neighbor who Is a mechanic and has a heated shop with a lift if would change the oil/filter and do brake job, he said sure. I bring it down last night, and he starts the on it, well were the floating caliper sits it was really worn, so he built it up with weld, grinds is down ect, did the same on the other side and also found the lower caliper bolt hole just about stripped out, so he welds it in, drills it out and taps it with new threads. We get all done, put oil back in the engine,and bleed the brakes he lowers the lift starts the truck, I see smoke come off the left side of the engine, now I know I dident spill any oil on the exhaust manifold, he shuts truck off, says we just blew a break line! Lmao, I told him while he was working on it, I'm waiting for one of these Lines to go, the one I pointed to was the one the blew, but on the other side of the truck. Lucky he had line and fittings to fix it. So what should have been a simple job, turned into a 3 hour job! Lol, oh well at least it's all done, like he said prolly the last time the truck will ever get brakes again,with 178,000 miles on it!

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
