After I told a neighbor to be good to his equipment and check it over before using it, because I am now concentrating on fixing my own stuff and not fixing everybody else's stuff. I get home late from work Friday, and see this setting by my shop. It's his Massey 65 I put an alternator on for him last week. He said it was rattling when he was brushhogging with it. I asked if he checked the oil, and he told me he usually does. (More of an add oil occasionally than change oil type) Nice guy, just doesn't check stuff he should.

I told him its toast now and checking the oil everyday is cheaper than what this will cost him. Especially since it was his wife's dad's tractor. Too bad, was a nice tractor.

Some of my fondest memories of these visits are those of learning to drive a tractor at the helm of Uncle Cecil’s 1948 Farmall Super A. Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea
