Dad was not mechanical, some carpentry skills. Mom and dad had a dairy, left me in the house when I was 2, I took Moms night stand apart, even dad couldn't get it back together. Learned to weld by 10. Welded up a crack in a Farmall B engine before I was 12, repainted it got it ready to farm. Left home at 12 and started farming. Worked for neighbors, traded labor for heifer calves from a dairy, calves were from Holstein heifers he bred to a Hereford bull. Plowed and planted 60 acres of wheat. The next year a neighbor gave me a Farmall M and 3-16" MM pull plow. Another farmer gave me a full set of Craftsman tools as a Christmas bonus. Traded everything I had the next year for a JD 4020 and a plow, heavy harrow and grain drill, I was off and farming. I am a good builder, fair mechanic, great welder and fabricator....James
