Walt, I like your sense of humor. I read your post this morning, and was sure you knew exactly what you were posting about. I was first turned loose on a Case L at 8yrs. old. The L got religated to the sawmill and replaced by an LA. I wouldn't even dare say how many hours I spent driving the LA. It was our prime tillage tractor, baleing tractor, and chopper tractor. The oldest uncle always plowed with it, but I road the battery box mounted inside the fender, and when the Case Centenial 4B plow hit a rock and unhooked, it was my job to lift the plow hitch up and drop it into the clevis when the uncle backed into position.

I literally wore the 300 out plowing, crimping hay raking hay, spreading manure, etc. Eventually the LA got replaced with 1964 Case 830 EH. Loren, the Acg. w

Today's Featured Article - The Revival of a John Deere Combine - by The Red, John Fritz. For several years I had been driving by a farm house on the west side of Indianapolis that had a John Deere combine parked in high weeds in a lot behind the house. The gentleman no longer farmed because the entire area was developed with housing and light industry. I had stopped several times and knocked on the door but no one would answer. My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
