I was the grease monkey on a threshing crew for a few years, starting when I was 9 years old. The first year my job was to carry gasoline for the tractor and crawl through the insides of that big threshing machine morning and noon to grease all the shakers.

I'm sure the last time I lined up a belt on a threshing machine was in 1956. thanks for reminding me of a mostly pleasant memory.
