There was a store/service station about 2 miles from our house when I was a kid. They also had about a dozen cabins- believe they called them "auto parks" back then. Cabins rented out by the night, but the furthest one from the store had an old man who lived in it, from as far back as I could remember. He was crippled- WWI, I think- one leg was shorter than the other, and was really bowed badly. He helped out around the place as best he could, and they let him live in the cabin for free. Very nice old guy- always had some candy for us kids and would help us air up the tires on our bikes. It was a Greyhound bus stop, so he rode the Greyhound the 10 miles to town when he needed to. It had about the cleanest restrooms you'd ever see at a place like that- he was proud of that.
Some new people bought the place, and we wondered if they would kick him out. But apparently they bought with the understanding that he came with the place. Store burned down in '61, and I don't know what ever happened to him.

What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
