WGAS? Actually, a lot of people do- it"s a matter of pride in workmanship, just like the mechanic who does a great job when rebuilding an engine. Every so often this subject comes up on these boards, with the same responses....ie, as long as I can get the message the poster wants to convey, it"s ok, or...I edit and use spellcheck, etc. And everything in between. Ultradog was not being critical...Jerry was actually describing the concept that despite our varied backgrounds and abilities, we are able to communicate ideas, processes, etc.
Each of us has our own talents, and shortfalls. I notice a lot of misuse of words, misspellings, etc. Some folks abbreviate cylinder as cly, instead of cyl. I can"t figure out where that came from. Or ect is used instead of etc. Some don"t know the difference between lose and loose, much less fewer and less. BTW- fewer is appropriate when you can COUNT the difference...ie...I get fewer mpg with my new truck, not less mpg. Safety is saftey....along with a myriad of others. Some people post a long message without using a period...I always wonder if their girlfriend misses that many periods...oh boy, are they in trouble!
There is a very talented mechanic from the Hoosier state who posts here, but never hits the Enter button, to create paragraphs.

Jerry made his post in good faith, with good reason, and yes, he, and many others, do GAS about this community of folks who share the common interest of old tractors.

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
