It seems like the further you are away from home the more likely it is to break down.
Remember plowing a farm that was 10 miles from the house. You drove back through the farm which was along a river. It had nine fields, an none where bigger than 7 acres. The last field was one mile from the road. I was trying to get done before a rain so I was plowing late at night. about 2 am. I was in the last field which happened to be the very back one. Radiator hose blew on the tractor. This was way before cell phones. So I had to walk out. It was one of those nights where the wind was whistling up high but down low it is dead still and so cloudy that it was so dark you could not see anything, Zero moon or stars. It was real spooky walking out without an light. I had to walk over three miles to a neighbor's house that had a phone to call the wife to come and get me. She had to load up four kids as they could not be left alone.
When we got back to the house it dumped a big rain storm on us. We all where wet just going from the car to the house. We got 2 inches of rain by day light. So I had to walk back to the tractor as it was so muddy that you could not drive back. Of coarse the hose I got was the wrong one so I had to walk back out again. At least it was day light this time.
Couple that trouble for so few acres and the wild life damage around all those smaller fields I never planted that farm again after that spring. I still can remember the spooky feeling walking out of there.

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
