I was born at a very young age. I mowed yards for a buck to $2.50 at the age of 10. I bought my first vehicle, a little honda sport 50 when I was 12. That allowed me to get my first real job where I made .50 an hour. Eventually worked up to .75 an hour as I turned 14. Of course I lied about my age and told them I was 16, which was the required age to work at the time. Then when I turned 16, got a real job at a buck an hour. I was very wealth on pay day. As I grew up I had slowly accumulated almost nothing. Through hard work and careful planning, I still have most of that. Got great electronics/microwave/radar training courtesy of USAF. My draft number was 10. Got a job with a fortune 500 company and eventually became a communications engineer and manager for 41 years. Retired, went back to work, retired and now working again. Still have most of what I started with. But I DO have a little 1965 honda s50 in the barn next to the 9 tractors. That little bike used to take my skinny butt up to 52 mph.. Now I'm lucky to get my fat butt up to 40 mph... Amazing what an extra 100 lbs does to a 5 hp engine. Oh yeah,, I had to walk to school 4.9 miles every day. It was up hill both ways. Fought wild Indians on the way to school and had to run from the dinosaurs on the way home. Turns out the if we lived one block further from school, we could have rode the bus...had to be 5 miles to ride the bus. School had no air conditioning but we did have a fan in the gym (wealthy school). (100 degree days in south texas.) After military, was surprised that college had air conditioning. Went to jr college first and paid my own way, while working. But then I had it easy and I still have some of that left also.

Today's Featured Article - My Ford Golden Jubilee - by Troy Estes. This article is about my '53 Ford Jubilee and a story that starts with taking the tractor to my brother's Starter/Alternator Rebuilding shop for a wiring fix. The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
