I can tell you a great story told to my by my Wife's late Grandfather. I have absolutely no doubt it is true. He was an extremely hard working man until close to his death in his mid 70's. Excellent person.
He lived in North Central KS on the home farm. There was no money to be made so he hopped a train and ended up in, I believe, Washington State. He found work picking berries. He became good friends with two Brothers who worked with him. At the end of the season, he had some money in his pocket and was getting ready to head back to the farm. The two Brothers whom he was good friends told him they were going to start their own business and wanted him to come in as a full partner. He wanted to get back to the farm and declined their offer. The names of the two Brother was Smuckers. He could have gotten in on the ground floor.
BTW, I know this to be true because he showed me letters from them as they corresponded back and forth for some years. He did very well in the hog business with his son, my Father in Law. Before my FIL retired he farrowed just over 4000 sows a year. They did farrow to finish and figured they ran about 50,000 head a year through their farm. Truly great people. Bob

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
