Both my first and second wife helped around the farm as needed. My second wife has had to quit helping much do to health issues. She did do a lot of the book work until last year. The diabetes is effecting her memory. So my Daughter-in-law does the farm books and I do my personal record keeping. My oldest two sons know all about my livestock and grain.
As for help around the farm now. I call a friend or my sons. I don't want her hurt doing something she should not be doing anymore.
As for the equipment. She knows most of the big stuff but would have zero idea on the little stuff. She or my sons would be able to figure it out pretty easy. I keep a file with all the equipment and parts values in it with the receipts on most of the items I have bought. Then anything I am repairing for resale has its own folder with all the records of what I gave for it and what has been spent on it. I have to do that for tax reasons anyway.
So we kind of live separate lives but not that separate.
P.S. I could not tell you how many cloths or jewelry she has. My Daughter and Daughter-in-laws could easily. They do lots of things together.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
