This thread touches a sore spot with me. It points out the fact that neither I nor my parents and grandparents ever saw fit to photograph the work that went on around the place. Photographs were for special occasions, family gatherings when everybody had on their Sunday best and posed for group photos in front of the old Kodak box. How I wish I had taken shots of my dad plowing with his mule, or later when he got the 8N.

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
