Your right, I have had a sheltered existance. Never had a need for anything bigger or better. Learned one lesson from my Scottish/Quaker ancesters and thats to make do or do without. Although my father and grandfather might have taken that to a little too far. I grew up cranking the H to start it. I was always told that one time the tractor broke in half and afterwards the starter motor never worked.
