I was searching the web last night for a new desktop theme and ran across the above image labeled as "Old Ford tractor in snow". It rather irked me that such a nice specimen of a COCKSHUTT would be deliberatly called a FORD. But then I started thinking of other tractor abuses I've seen over the years. For example, there was a Ford 8N thatwas painted pink and had a 3 foot beek pasted on the front with the words "Pink Chicken" spray painted across the hood. (I wish I had a picture of that now)
I bought a Cockshutt 540 last year that had JD stickers plastered on the hood and seat and a spray can of JD green plastered over the frame. Just DISGUSTING!! I've seen a host of old Cockshutt 30's painted greens, purples and ugly black and oranges all done with spray cans. It seems that old Fords and Cockshutts have spray can magnets that keep attracting the mindless abusers.
I can truly say I've never seen a paint-can-abused JD, although I'm sure they do exist. Nor a MF, but I have seen a p-c-abused Allis WD45.
Oh I've seen many work-abused tractors that are held together by baling wire and sloppy weld spatter that just keep limping along.
Soory for the rant, but do any of you see tractor abuse?

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
