To Chris in ND,
You asked how a manual can save a marriage.
Here is a scenario on how a marriage might have been saved with a manual. Don"t hold me to the exact truth of this story.
It is mid August, tempratures are 100 plus, tempers are just as hot, the humidity is drowning the locust.
Your brother enters his house drenched in sweat, his knuckles bleeding and he is holding a tractor part in his hand.
His wife sees him and says, "Don"t bring anymore grease into the house."
Brother graciously ignores her comment. "This thing broke when I took it out of the Jubilee. I am getting on the internet to ask why."
"Well don"t get grease on my keyboard."
After a few minutes he comes back into the living room. "The guys said the Service Manual has a warning that you have to back out the acorn nut before you remove this hydraulic lift mechanism or it will be damaged."
Spouse: "Did you get grease on my keyboard? I am tired of you greasing up my keyboard just to talk to those old cronies of yours. I told you to buy those manuals when you bought the tractor, the guy offered them to you for five dollars, but no, you were too cheap, you just slapped him on the back and said, "Real men don"t need no stinking manuals." Well, a real man would spend more time with his wife and not have ten tractors, all of which I might add are not running."
Brother: Shakes his head, and starts to walk off.
Spouse: "This had better not cost too much, we are still going to my family reunion in Death Valley next week, that is if you can tear yourself away from those precious pieces of junk you call tractors."
So, Chris, there you have it. A perfectly good marriage destroyed by the lack of a manual.

Today's Featured Article - Experimental Tractors Article - by Danny Bowes (Dsl). Tractor technology appears to have nearly hit it's pinnacle of development. If you agreed with the subtitle, you are rather mistaken. Quite, actually. As a matter of fact, some of the technology experimented with over 40 years ago makes today's tractor technology seem absolutely stale by comparison. Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development
