Family legend has it that my grand father Truman Alec Jackson, of Hawesville Kentucky invented the 3 point hitch. He took his idea to Case in the late 30's or early 40's. Case struck a deal with Truman for the manufacturing rights to his invention then made monor changes to his design and effectively stole the idea from him. He fought to retain his rights to this invention for many years but did not prevail with his limited funds and small town attorneys. Any info or help to get further info on this matter would be appreciated greatly. As a matter of fact: I have been told that for many years the old timers in Kentucky and other states all knew of this and commonly referred to the 3 point hitch as the "Jackson Hitch". Thank-you, I originally posted this 9yrs ago and have since found my Gr-fathers original patent. I now believe that what 'Dad' had done wass to improve on the original Ferguson design by making the hitch Hydraulic? I will see if I can copy the patent pages so that any of you who may be interested can see what I'm trying to convey. Thanks, Bobby

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
