Larry your DAD did you a BIG favor letting you work for your Uncle. You learned two things.
1) That you should and could work for what you want. You drew some pay for working. That is what many do not get taught today.
2) That hard physical work will not hurt you. That enabled you to go on in life doing your masonry and other work. How are many of the kids your age that where just in the city and never broke a sweat doing today??? I know many smart, well educated men that say the secret to their success is the willingness to do hard work.
I have seen this first hand with my sons. Many of their contemporaries never got their hands dirty when they where younger. Hard work pretty much has been beneath them the rest of their lives.

Now none of them as Fast as I used to. LOL
I bet that you can still close your eye and smell the fresh cultivated ground or maybe the exhaust fumes if the 8N had a belly muffler. LOL

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power.
