I took one of my Cub Cadets down to Dad's farm in 2006 to haul stuff around to clean things up for an auction and ultimately sell the house & buildings. Dad had his '51 M there with loader to move the big stuff. I brought a 5 gal can of my E-Zero gas, and Dad had two 5 gal cans of gas, with ethanol in it. I tried starting a fire with some of Dad's gas, the M was running on it, but I flicked my BIC lighter 20-30 times and it wouldn't start on fire, even in a puddle of gas. I grabbed my can and splashed a bit of my good gas on the pile of scrap lumber I wanted to burn, flicked my Bic in the good gas and WHOOSH, my gas caught fire and then caught the bad gas on fire. So Yes, gas can go bad, but can still run an engine, the hyd tubes running to & from the live hyd pump on the M started leaking on the spark plug wires causing the M to misfire which caused it to foul a spark plug. Dad fixed the oil leak and put new D-18Y Champion plugs in the M. Most of the gas I use over a year's time goes in my lawn mower, about 3-4 gallons a week all summer. Snow removal is 5 to 10 gallons a year. In 2008 we got a bit over 100 inches of snow, I used probably 20 gallons that year. The chain saws, leaf blower, weed-eater, only use 2 gal of gas a year. The stale gas/oil mix goes in the M.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
