Well this whole third generation thing don't sound great to me, I am the third generation. My grandfather came to America from Germany with his family when he was young in the 1920s, he started farming on his own cause his father he said was an ornery man. Grandpa started renting farms in NW IL and later bought the farm I am on in SW WI for 6,000 dollars, no loan just paid for it! He never did have a loan his entire life, bought the farm next to it 12 years later. My dad bought the home farm in 93, he never did really want to farm! My dad wanted to be a mechanic for a dealer, so he never put much into the farm, seemed he never cared. So now I am trying to make a go of it, buying newer equipment, doubled the dairy herd and renting some other farms. The land prices have me worried how I am going to pay for it and make it! Had a great paying job at a mine but quit to milk cows for myself! Push comes to shove I may just sell the cows and find a job to pay for the land and rent out or farm the farms, later in life go back to milking, after most is payed off! If that happens, I am only 33 now, I have some time, I hope!

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
