We shipped can milk back then and when we were old enough to start being of some help,Dad gave us each a cow and we got our own can number,so we each got a milk check of our own. I think I was 9 when he gave me a Jersey.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
