I had my little Massey 300 light up while shelling corn . I had just got the ends all opened up and was starting to split the field and all of a sudden the cylinder variable speed crank spun around and smacked me in the elbow , This is weird never done this before and i happened to look out the right side and there was LOTS of black smoke I made a mad dash out of the corn field running over corn and into a green hay field and stopped and bailed out with a five pound extinguisher the big drive belt and all the dust and built up chaff was blazing . i learned first hand that a five pounder was NOT enough i had hardly slowed the fire . I was about 3-400 feet from a house and saw a garden hoes hanging on the back of the house and drove the combine over close and grabbed the hose and went to work . Someone driving by on the state highway had seen the fire and called the local fire Dept that was about a mile away and here they came two trucks and a tanker . I had it pretty well under control when they got there . Sure glad my old 300 was made out of STEEL and not plastic . Yea i had a little scorched paint one big belt the air cleaner hose two bearings and a seal to replace and had it back up and shelling in two days along with adding two more five pounders and a two and a half pounder . I was lucky not to catch the field on fire . Yep that will get your heart racing big time.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
