Forty years ago this month, my sub pulled into Rota, Spain, and I was seperated about a week later. I didn't have a pot to pee in or a window to throw it out, a kid in the cooker and a rented apartment. I bought a house a couple of months later and started helping a neighbor with some hay. Then a few cows down on his place, and helping another aquaintance, an ex-Marine, on his dairy. That led to me planting some on the first guys place, and later adding a few acres of my own. In about ten years, I bought this farm, and have built it up to what it is today. And a lot of it was with used iron until about fifteen years ago. Patience and perserverance is the name of this game. And I have always gone with the thought that new paint costs a whole heck of a lot less than new iron.
So, be patient. The time will come, with hard work, and the willingness to not quit too soon, that you'll look back and wonder how you did so much years ago. As you age, you do slow down, so what you do now will come back to reward you later. You will be a farmer if you work at it, and pay the dues, and even the BFO's will admit it. It's not always a glamorous job, but an honest one, and the greatest way of living you can find.

At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches. As most restorers, I have a number of war stories I can relate on a range of topics that may help other like minded and interested people. Perhaps my first p
