I've had this Ford F250 diesel for going on 26 years now. The darned old thing started to really go down hill when I got my 2007 and started leaving this one outside a few years ago. The fuel gauge was the first thing to go,then the rear fuel tank. The cab corner on the drivers side gave out and I had to wire it ahead so the door would close. Now the rocker panel has dropped down so all that's holding it up is the seat belt. I have to use ether to start it the first time in the morning. About all I use it for is hauling hay or moving cattle around if I need to stay hooked to the stock trailer for a few days. I made a gooseneck hitch for the 3pt on the tractors,so I could just as well be using one of them for those jobs. I was hauling hay with the old heifer yesterday and ran it out of fuel I guess. That's how it acted anyway. I unhooked the trailer and the wife and I towed it up in the yard out of the way. After all those years,I sure hate to retire it,but keeping plates and insurance on something in that kind of shape seems like a waste. I'd like to find a newer fuel injected gas Ford 4x4 to put that flatbed and the duals on. Maybe if I live without this one for a while,it'll give me more incentive to actually do it instead of just talking about it. The wife's Explorer Sport Trac is getting pretty thin around the edges. I guess if I bought a better gasser for a farm truck,she could have my 07 F250.

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
