Been there, done that. Just a week ago, I was at a farm sale that had a 1969 Dodge 500 grain truck. Seen plenty of F500 Fords, seen plenty of C50 Chevies, never seen a Dodge 500. This one had a V8 engine, hoist, good tires, and they even threw in an extra rear end for it, JUST IN CASE YOU EVER NEED IT. (Don't know the story behind it...) No rust on the thing, good wooden bed, the truck had been shedded it's whole life, paint was original, just slightly faded. They had the thing idling for about an hour before they sold it. The engine purred, the only issue the truck had was an alternator that was screaming, easily fixed with a couple of small bearings and brushes. The really neat thing about this truck was the engine access. The hood tilted back like a normal truck, but the two fenders had hinges on them on each side of the radiator so that the fenders swung away from the truck, and when swung away, both headlights faced each other. Both of these swinging fenders worked great and the release levers could be pushed in with your pinky finger. IMO, Dodge had a wonderful idea back then. I guess the problem is that I'm not a Dodge man. I don't hate them, I just don't have much love for them. So with that stuck in my head, I didn't bid on it. The auctioneer had a hard time getting $1,000 for it. Geesh, a set of new tires could eat that up in no time. I feel I could have held on to this truck for a few months and sold it during wheat or grain harvest and tripled or doubled my money. Somebody got a good truck.

Today's Featured Article - Bad Vibes - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the strangest ways to communicate with our tractor is to ask it how it feels. "Ask it how it feels," you say? Yup, ask it how it feels. Now, as with the other articles in this series one has to be able to hear what 'ole blue' is trying to say in response. The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
