Wild Bill, Good to hear from you. I just finished helping a Neighbor split his Massey 35. He just had an operation on his right arm, going to be layed up for 8 weeks. Neighbor had to put a new seal on tranny. When He put it back together he got the throw out bearing reversed and another part in backward.
I rewired it for him. Started at 9:30, split the tractor, reversed the parts and had it back together at 3:30.
Neighbor is happy, but his hand was swelling and turning black. He tried to help. I kept telling his to sit and watch. Hard to tell an old tart to sit and watch.
I don't understand the people on YT. Friend, 78, asked me to come over and clean out his garage. He didn't want anything for his scrap. Said it wasn't worth it for him to haul it to the recycler. He didn't have a truck. He was happy I cleaned his garage. You would think I robbed him over $41 of scrap. Recycler was very busy. Took me an hour for them to unload it and get weighed. It wasn't too much out or my way, so not a major fuel expense.
I asked here if I should tell him how much it was worth or just buy him breakfast. He is part of the ROMEO club, retired old men who eat out.
He got to breakfast before I did, so I gave him $20. He said I didn't have to pay him. I told him to put the 20 towards his VW 3 wheeler he is making.
There sure are a lot of people on YT who seem to hate what I do for friends and neighbors.
As for your Masters, are you going to send me part of your pension? Did you save me new email address? BTW, I've never told anyone what I did for a living for 31 years, so please keep it that way. George

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
