I guess we had a lemon once, I found out later. Bought an '85 Chev conversion van with 6.2L diesel, in about '92. Took it to work one day in about '97, and got a real funny look from my secretary- turns out I had bought it from her and her husband (I dealt with hubby, don't remember her being around). She asked how it had been for us- I told her it had been great, very little trouble with it in 150,000 miles. She said they had sold it because it spent half its time in the shop, and they got tired of spending money on it. She did mention that her husband called it "the gutless wonder" and ran it pretty much full throttle wherever he went, so I suspect that was a good part of the problem. You couldn't be in a big hurry with those old diesels- as someone said about his old Mercedes diesel, "this isn't life in the slow lane, its life in the bike path." I used to still see it around town once in awhile- had about 350,000 miles on it. Haven't seen it for a few years, probably has gone on to its final reward.

Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
