When I first met my wife I new she was the one within 2 dates, we were ment for each other. Her father on the other hand wasn't so sure right from the beginning, I needed to earn his respect. "Otie" as we called him was a dairy farmer and cut from hard stock. He did not say a single word to me for almost 3 months, I was a country boy with college degrees, NOT a farmer and he was definatly unsure of me. Over the course of a year and a half we were able to build a respect for one another, he taught me about farming, good farm raised food, tractors, trucks, and how to live the country life.
October 2009 Otie saw his first grandson born and his only daughter married, I had never seen him smile more! One week after our wedding to the day he died on the farm of a massive heart attack. About 4 days after his death my wife was still extremly upset and had every right to be. That day she left to her aunts and I was left alone at the house. I was pissed, pissed at my father in law for dieing, pissed that I couldnt fix everything going on with my wife and I looked up to the ceiling as I sat in my recliner and yelled, "now what do I do, you didnt take care of yourself Otie and now I cant do anthing to make it better for megan, What do I do!!!" Just as I finished yelling, the tv went black and when I looked at the screen I could see the shadow outline of my father in law as if he was standing next to me. the only way I can describe the feeling I had was as if there was an elevator that started at the top of my head and lowered itself to my feet and I had the most remarkable feeling of peace come over me. I continued to look at the tv and for some reason I simply said, "OK." as soon as I said that the tv snapped back on, I looked to my right where my father in law should have been and no one was there. True story! After that I was able to calm my wife and help her through her pain. Three years later i still can feel his presence, especially when im working on the Family Farmall M, i know hes laughing at me and it helps get me through the frustrating times. ~Anthony

Today's Featured Article - Restoring a John Deere 2010 Diesel Tractor - by Jim Nielsen. Following seven years working in California's Silicon Valley, my wife, baby son and I moved back to Australia to retire. We bought a small 'farm' of about 50 acres near Bendigo, in the state of Victoria. I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
