Back in the mid seventies I was still living at home and worked for My Dad's construction company. Did the mechanic work plus what ever else that needed to be done if everything thing was running. One day a friend of Dad's brought a 601 Ford tractor to the house. The tractor had four speed with a gear that had seized to the bottom shaft and had broken a couple of teeth off that gear and nicked the corresponding gear. Dad said fix it. His friend just wanted to fix it good enough to sell. Pulled it down and told them I needed both gears and the bottom shaft and misc. gaskets. They brought me a new gear and a tube of silicon and told Me to reuse the scuffed shaft and nicked gear.I told them it would not work. Dad said to file and sand the parts the best I could the man was not going to buy the parts.I balked, Dad said do it. I did and sent the tractor back to the guy working fine. Later I asked about Dad about getting paid for the work. He called his friend and I was told that the transmission had torn up just like before and the Man said He had to carry it to REAL mechanic to get it fixed. I don't know why I tell this but after 35 years it still sticks in my craw. Ron

The warm glow of yellowish light can be seen for quite some distance at dusk, and
