Thanks Charlie. I have read extensively about the Pacific war but of course don't remember everything. Some things stand out though and kinda become your favorites. I follow a couple of this day in history sites and if there's an entry for something I like or remember well I'll try to write about it here. I always liked the USS England and read not only about her but of the subs she killed and the captains and crews who manned those subs. What life was like serving on them, etc. For example: our submariners had the highest casuality rate of all the US armed forces in WWII. About 20% of those who served were lost. Compare that to the Japanese sub service where more like 75% were lost and you wonder how they could stand to serve. Btw, worse yet were the Uboats where more than 80% of their crews were lost. Amazing. Anyway, I like to read and I enjoy writing these little vignettes about the war so as long as I get positive replies to them I'll continue. By the way, the 75th anniversary of the battle of Midway is just around the corner so maybe I'll try to come up with something that wasn't on the history channel already.

For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
