Wife and I visited her sister and her sister's hubby last weekend. They took us out to eat and we rode there in their Toyota Sequoia. They bought it brand new in 2007 and it now has 275,000 miles on it. (Yes, that is two hundred seventy five thousand miles. The lady drives a long way to work each day) They asked me why their gas mileage had suddenly dropped from 17 to 14.5 MPG. When I asked them about any maintenance that had been done to it, they told me that the spark plugs were original on it. When I told them that they should start there, they then told me that they were probably going to trade it off. I was rolling my eyes in the dark, but I finally told them that some of it might be the reformulation of winter/summer gas and I just switched the subject to something else. A couple of years ago, a Ford Winstar came into the shop that threw a check-engine code with 250,000 miles that had the original plugs in it. It turns out the light came on because a rodent had chewed into a vacuum line, not because the plugs were bad. We put new plugs in the vehicle before it left though. I don't let plugs in any of my vehicles go over 60K, but that's just me.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
