I also am 66. I had always figured I'd stay with it till I was 70, but the rented farm is changing from local management to a large management company. They would have been happy for me to stay but I thought it was a good time to let it go. I worked as a hired man on the farm for 2 years when we were first married. We then moved to my wife's grandparent's farm for 2 years. Then in '78, the elderly couple asked us to rent the farm so we moved back and have rented it since then. When they passed, the farm went into a trust with a local college, their alma mater, as the beneficiary. I've worked with 4 different managers since their passing. It's a good farm and we've done well farming it, but it's just time to turn that much work over to someone who has the energy to do it justice. We bought 300 acres a mile down the road in '03. That's where I'll keep my fingers in the dirt. Wifey wants to teach 3 more years so I'll keep farming our own land till then. And then we'll see what happens.

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
