Read through all or most of both threads on the subject and am pretty much just shaking my head.
It seems that some people think (and I may be overstating the case to some extent) that ONLY "True" farmers that make their entire living from crops and/or animals should be allowed to own animals, tractors, farm equipment or trucks. Unbelievable.
Apparently I was mistaken and my Dad was not a "real" farmer since he had a full time job as an industrial electrician. That 120 acres of cash crops and hay and the 20 or so head of beef critters he finished every year was just a hobby. Huh. Could've fooled me.
I am not a farmer, never have been, never will be. But I like animals and enjoy having them around. So, up until recently, I kept several dozen chickens, both layers and meat birds, and a dozen or so sheep on my little patch. Have owned trucks since 1974. At one point I owned THREE tractors, nearly one per acre. All this time, I've been a poser and didn't even notice.
Fortunately, I've also got a fairly thick skin and don't much give a rat's rump what other folks think. I'll continue to do just as I dam* please and keep whatever critters and equipment makes me happy. If that gets your panties in a bunch, that's your problem, not mine.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. 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
