I'm just wondering how long he's been there, most people like to live on their own, you have to recall when you were younger, how much most people want to get out on their own, and make their own way, get away from the "tribal elders" and "not in my house" parental unit atmosphere. I think sucessful parents are ones that help prepare you for life, at least give you the benefit of the doubt of trying to teach you the basics, "get a degree", "learn a trade that pays", "do something you like at least", "save what you can", "be responsible", "don't screw up your credit", "make a smart investment or 2", "plan a retirement early", etc. etc.. I got out as soon as I graduated H.S. at 17, eventually got that degree,paid for that myself, also learned a good paying trade operating earthmoving equip. and then moved on to upper managment in the construction industry, with a solid foundation underneath me, had all the low paying jobs for awhile too, and it really was tough for more than a few years, but that is what makes you want to do better, because you work hard all day and can barely put food on the table let alone have some for a rainy day. Now I can write my own ticket after all the time put in. That aside I hope he's done something in life, not been at home all these years, (that is a real late start)if not, the rude awakening will not be pleasant, and that negativity regarding the knocking of others, goes hand in hand with leading an inactive life, you have to stay active, it certainly helps, no time to think too much. I hope it works out somehow, but it's one of those tough situations that has to be reckoned with at some point. Either it's time for a heavy duty skull session and an agreed timely exit plan or the boot !

Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
