I tried to find the connecting rods I removed from a Hagie sprayer I repowered, but couldn't find them. The owner called and said his sprayer was knocking, but drove it home 4 miles at an idle so as not to hurt it (riiiiight). Made it home and I went and looked at it. Fired it up, knocked terrible, shut it down. Pulled oil plug, about 2 drops came out. I told him it was junk, trailer or tow it to my shop and e how bad it was. He told me he wanted me to repower it and if it would run, he was going to try to drive it the 8 miles to my house. The field where it started knocking was only 4 miles from my house. I told him if he was going to try it, fill it to the top with used oil. He made it about halfway to my house when it broke a rod off, but kept chugging along. Then lost a second one that went out the block. It barely had enough power to move on its own now. When the third rod broke it was done. It bent and wedged in the main webbing in the block and stopped it cold. It had a 318 Chrysler engine. I tore it apart just to see what it looked like, I have never seen an engine that damaged! I thought I still had the rods and rod pieces from it, but I may have thrown them away.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
