It goes in threes so what will be the next thing to happen that doesn't happen often?
If any of you have been following the IH forum I have had questions posted on what to do about a brand new valve and guide that is too tight when it came home from the machine shop. The tractor would run fifteen minutes or so, then that valve would stick. I've never experienced this before though I know it happens.
Second one: my military collector friend dropped off a 'mule', a sort of self propelled 4X8' platform hauler. It's four wheel drive, four wheel steer and has a Hercules twin opposed engine with a three speed transmission. A tooth is off a gear so I get to figure out how to get it apart. Anyway, the starter was barely growling over but it would start. It has a mag. I went to start it to move it around the shop and pulled out the choke but the choke wouldn't push back in. The engine quit cranking over too. Pulled the inspection cover off the deck to have a look at the engine and the choke cable was burned off. You guessed it, bad ground to the engine and the choke cable became the ground. I used jumper cables to ground the engine and it cranked like a champ. I know this has happened to other people but it's a first for me. It takes a real long choke cable but I have one coming from a military surplus I frequent once in awhile.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. 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
