Walt, its hard to hear of this news, and what you are facing, but you may find solace with your friends here, suggestions, advice and care, to help you bolster up to do what you must however you do it. Sorry to hear of this and the grief that may accompany it.
I felt the same about the farmer I helped for years, it was very difficult, I had see him suffer many times leading up to the end, and had to come to grips with it somehow, knew him since day one here on this earth, you think back to all the memories, the times, etc. He fought off the health issues for years. I sat with him one last time for about 3 hours, usually the same conversation and current affairs, but he was fading, needed assistance, and I knew then with this internal bleeding problem, he won't be here much longer, 2 months later he passed away and I paid my respects, I remembered him as he was and though I wanted to see him again, I was ok that I did not, knowing the last time I visited with him, I had to accept the situation, there was no other choice, now or later. It was not easy when he passed, I felt a ton of grief from it, but as days passed, it too faded, I have fond memories, lots of photos and the pride knowing that I worked with one of the last farmers in the area of the town where I grew up, worked with him, his sons and enjoyed every minute of it, so the good does balance the not so good, or so I like to think.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
