When I was 5 or 6 I was chasing my brother, he was driving an old 50's pickup dad had given him and I was riding my bike. He thought he would teach me a lesson for following too close by slamming on the brakes, but my bike didn't have brakes. I hit the rear of the truck box on the side with my forehead. I remember a LOT of blood and mom taking me to the field where dad was planting corn. He spread the cut open and looked in there and declared it nothin to worry about and told mom to put a bandage on it. A few years back when I was getting a ct scan of my head for some surgery the doc asked me how I broke my skull. I said I had no idea, so he showed me the scan which clearly shows a crack from my eye socket to the center top of my skull. Then I remembered the bike accident and told them the story. They decided to do another scan with different settings to see my brain and then you could see the damage that was done to my brain from bleeding and swelling. The doctors said that the reason my skull never healed back together was from the brain swelling holding it apart til the bone healed over so it never grew back together. The docs think I likely faired better by not going to the hospital then since the technology and knowledge then of head injuries and their treatment could have led to my death. They still bring that up wanting to do surgury to repair my skull so it's one piece again, but I don't want to risk it.

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
