Agree. Prior to Walmart coming to town there was Kmart, Ames, Zayres and a whole other bunch of discount type places, plus Sears, Wards, Penneys, etc. Back when a Monkey Wards store was coming to town everyone said, "Oh no! That'll kill off all the mom and pops!!!" Same thing for Walmart, Lowes, etc. What actually killed off the mom and pops was an inability to change. They were used to being the only game in town and if they didn't have it, too bad. The local lumber yards are still in business and undercutting Lowes. The stores selling the same Chinese garbage as Walmart are still in business. Sears is still going somehow. The clothing stores that used to be mom and pops got bought out by bigger stores and no one heard mom and pop complain about that. We had a great hardware that got more and more into high end sports clothing. Then they tried to expand from 1 to 4 stores and to carry mostly clothes. Nope, couldn't make it. Too bad too because it was a great hardware. Our last local tractor dealership died out not because TSC came to town but because the owner died and the son had zero interest in the store. He sure does love selling all the stuff on Ebay though!

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
