I am 58, never knew dad's dad. I was 3 when he was killed. Was a Mich farmer, not farm related was murdered for the wad of cash he always carried . Mom's dad lived in Arkansas, [another farmer], saw him 3 or 4 weeks a year and spent a couple summers there, mostly fishing and squirrel hunting in the fall. He has been gone 20 yrs. Lost my dad in 1990 at 58. And his brother at 58 three yrs earlier. Yeah I miss his wit and wisdom and what I didn't learn or could have. I spun the bearings in our vw powered buggy at 13.

Today's Featured Article - Oliver 550 Purchaser Checklist - by Greg Sheppard. Pound for pound the 550 is better than anything I've seen. It has great power for its size and can really hunker down and lug. Classified as a 3-bottom plow depending on soil conditions. I personally don't think it can be beat for a utility tractor in the 40 HP range. They are extremely thrifty on fuel, at least my DSL is. Most drive train parts are fairly easy to get. Sheet metal is probably the hardest thing to
