Scared yourself eh?. I've hardly ever worked after dark myself, so I really can't comment on that. It's silly the tricks the mind can play, but we all have them. I go riding at night on the ATV, and theres some old abandoned town roads around that go through the woods and connect onto other roads, one of them has a small cemetary on it next to a huge pond, I dunno why, but I don't care to take that road at night, just an uneasy feeling I get, I keep looking back behind me like I expect to see a ghost sitting on the seat with me or chasing me. In the daytime, it's totally different, the uneasy feeling all gone, and I have stopped and gone in that cemetary a few times, all the stones in it are pretty old, all late 1800's, the ground is all uneven and full of holes, I suspect due to the wooden coffins rotting and collapsing over time and nobody has filled in the holes, last time I went through there a few weeks ago, nobody has even kept it mowed this year. It's just a small cemetary, only has problably 30 stones in it or so, and the stones are in such bad shape they are hard to read. Oh, and another thing that might be spooky, and it's something you really notice while operating a ATV since there is no windshield or nothing, is temperature changes, you go from nice and warm summer night air, to a very cold pocket, and these temperature changes are constant while riding in and out of warm and cold pockets (these feel like very drastic changes at 40-50mph), and this is something you won't have during the day. This could be spooky since it is believed that ghosts can make the temperature drop on TV, they pull energy from the air to manifest themselves, and heat is a form of energy, so if you let your mind run with that, I suppose that could add to it. Yep, that old abandoned road at night makes me feel like you described, and it shouldn't since nothing has ever happened to me on that road, no experiences other than that weird feeling that your not alone, I do and have gone over that old road at night many times, but usually I pass by that one in favor of another such road alittle farther up with no cemetary on it and no odd feeling to it. Yep, these old antiques do have the potential for spirits to get attached to them, after all, we know it is easy to get sentimentally attachment to them, and they lived on them while farming. Most likely everyone who had anything to do with that tractor when it was new is now dead. I have never heard of a haunted tractor before though, and most likely the spirits would be happy by you fixing it up and still using it. Good luck

Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
