I am with you though if it helps . I barely make a living in construction and have to listen to all these big farmers whine that they can't make a half million dollars a year ( I earn about $30,000 gross ) .

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
