He started with Allis Chalmers in 1935 riveting levers for the new AllCrop combine,ended up as blockman for eastern Michigan and Northern Ohio. Retired in 1975 I believe. The whole book is his personal stories in the farm equipment business. A lot of humor,even more wisdom. Should be required reading for the executives of every farm equipment company in the country.

He once told me "If you know how many tractors you have, you don't have enough." Great place to visit if you get down that way. Best if you can call ahead. Has a nice harvest festival too.

Wife said reminded her of me but I think it was only because of the bibs and the belly. Got a few books for Christmas a few years ago. Entertaining. [Reply]  [No Email]

That's his favorite. He doesn't restore them just gets them running good I guess. [Reply]  [No Email]
