I remember once taking a shot at some fella here a decade or two ago that paid $17,000 for a Deere 3010 or 3020. It truly was a good looking restoration as near as I could tell, but not worth the $17,000 that he paid for it and made it known. A fella here back then, Mark out of Texas that went by "TXBLU" because of his Ford and then "TXGRN" when he bought a 4230 as I recall that I always considered a friend to me on this board tore into me but good as a brother should and would and put me right in my place where I deserved. I truly deserved it because as Mark reminded me that it was that fella's money and what he did with his hard earned money was his business, not mine. For a moment I forgot my mother's golden rule, "If they don't put the food in your mouth, the roof over your head, or the money in your pocket, feed the mother ....... fish". She sometimes stood up and shouted that out at bars after we as a family drank a few too many and just before we got thrown out after she started another bar fight. I hope that all is well for Mark from Texas.

Every now and then I have to be humbled and put in my place because as a human I make mistakes. An old convict in a prison that I was doing some work in one of countless times asked me one time if I knew the difference between a convict and an inmate. I shrugged NO because I thought that they were the same. I was wrong and he let me know. A convict minds his own business and an inmate minds everyone else's business.

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the ...
