Lanse, hate to say it, and i mean it rhetorically, - but we have seen the enemy, and YOU are them! Me too, probably! I love ya, pal, but let's face it- You've butchered every peice of mechanical hardware you've touched, you're a failed flock farmer trying to sell to some yuppie who's more capable, yadda yadda yadda yadda.The only thing you're missing on your 5 acres is the horse that everyone on this sight agrees is apparently the requirement for being a true a$$hole. And yet- we love ya! You've been befreinded by some old timers here, and that's a good thing- a GREAT thing!That's probably what every "newbie" needs... Strictly speaking, you've exemplified everything that this group says they hate about YUPPIE infiltrators but the attitude. GOOD FOR YOU!I think that's the key- some of you may have been lucky (?) enough to be born on a farm with mega acreage- I wasn't, I grew up in a suburb w/ folks who farmed 5 acres by hand a mile from the house the whole time I was a kid to feed 5 boys and 3 girls. I learned to spin wrenches early, loved to hunt/ fish/be out doors, learned to love horses mainly because I love my wife and daughters. I am NOT a YUPPIE because I am NOT upwardly mobile anymore- but most of you fellas would probably put me in that category. My truck fits the category, based on what you say...I'm definitely small acreage...I have 11 horses on 7 acres-horrors to many of you- but I am also a 14X ApHC world champion, so I guess i've learned a little bit about small acreage horse training. yep- I'm probably what most of ya really hate. Oh Well- I'm not doing it for you, I'm doing it for my family. Business fact- TSC is NOT trying to be the "farmers' farm store"- it's trying to be the Western Auto of the 60s/ 70s because that's what Jim Wright came from. I don't dislike TSC because of what they are- I dislike them because they execute who they are poorly in many cases. "yuppies" wanting to get back to their country roots are nothing new- remember "Green Acres"? It was one of my favorite shows when i was a lil' guy!

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
