John,

I have been running around like a damn fool, trying to dig up parts here, and find parts there. I finally realized it is the process of fixing the red monsters that appeals to me. My Dad kept our old H running, not because he loved it or because it mean't something to him. It was a tool to him. He was plowing on his Family's farm when he was thirteen. He only knew how to work.

When I slow down, I see my Dad, buy only when I slow down. I have red paint under my fingernails, but it is a different color. Dad's was work red. My color is play red. I miss him bad and feel closer to him stting in the same tractor seat he once occupied. He died 10 years ago last week. His heart gave up or how I say he gave up his heart for others.

He is buried out in the Hubbard cemetary but I bet any of you he could hear that old H popping.

I hear my Dad's voice in that tractor and see him in it's shadow. We bar-be-cued with my Mom on Saturday and I parked the fading red H in the yard. We looked at it, while munching pork chops.

Dad was with us.

Scott

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th ... [Read Article]
