Lots of good points hit. I wouldn't be afraid to strike out across the state with my 1958 GMC grain truck. I am continually checking things on it each time it is running. The brakes will stop on a dime and every light works but that didn't come from a jump in it and go attitude. I have it because it will do the work of a new one and I LIKE to tinker on it.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
