Coming into my shop next week will be a beautifully painted Deere 730 gas a fella bought on an on line auction 150 miles away. I rode to the auction site with the fella the owner hired to haul it home because he did not know how to run a Two banger and was uncomfortable driving it on a trailer. I got it going, it idled on one cylinder but straightened out after I gave it some throttle. I put it in gear and there was nothing there. Neutral in all of the left side slots but the three gears, 4, 5, and 6 in the right side of the quadrant worked. Hmmmm! Then I noticed the power steering did not work. Hmmmm again! I got it in fourth gear pushed in the clutch went about 50 feet and it starved out and died. Took a peek at the sediment bowl and it was gone!!! There was a fuel line straight from the tank to the carb with no filter! The guy who sold it told me there is a little rust in the tank. Ya? It started and died a couple more times but I got it to the trailer and it died half way up the ramps. Fourth gear was the slowest gear I had available to me and fourth gear is about 6 mph wide open. Thank god the brakes were good. It re started after a long wait and pulled itself another foot before it died again. Another long wait, re start, one more foot, die again but I finally got it up on the trailer deck. We pulled it off with a push bar and shoved it in a shed when we got it to my place. He did not pay all that much for it so he probably will not be under water after he gets my bill but it will be close to it. Oh, it needed new tires all around too!

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
