My oldest brother has been a wrench turner for as long as I can remember. When I got back from Germany, he had switched from the Chevy dealership to the Peterbilt dealership. I asked him why the change. He said that the day he encountered a space engineered car was the day he decided to become a diesel mechanic, and the day he saw a space engineered truck, he'd retire. Fast forward ten years, I stopped to visit him in South Dakota. He was working the evening shift, so I headed to the shop. Talked while he worked... He was doing LOF on a straight. Changing the fuel filter entailed an extension wrench from below, once loose, go above, fasten a hook on the filter, then slide it down the frame to a point where it would fit down, and lower it. Then attach a new filter and reverse the process. As he was tightening the new filter in place, I said, "Thought you were gonna retire when you saw a space engineered truck?" "Just shut you mouth, Or I'll give you another fat lip." Nuff said. He is 74 and still twisting wrenches on trucks in South Dakota.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
