To expand on what I said previously quite a few families elect to hang on to the farm real estate after the passing of the parents as one of the kids plans to retire to the farm. The biggest priority is to right size everything to what the future goal is. Often there is not more than a couple hundred acres involved but rented ground is turned back to the landlord.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
