Yes, the 300-6 was a durable engine, no raving powerhouse but held up well. I had a '78 F150 4wd I bought used, 27,000 miles in 2 years. Thing nickled and dimed me to death. I had to rebuild the Carter YF-1 carb 3 or 4 times, the Dura-Spark ignition box failed which they ALL did, I got sucked into cheap rebuilt waterpumps which needed replacing about every 20,000 miles, front disk brakes that tended to sieze the pistons in the calipers and drag, OH, the BIG hit was replacing all the tierods and tierod ends, even with a commercial account that was $400. And for some reason I traded it for a brand new '87 F-150, same 300-6 but EFI, same 4-speed, but Twin-Traction Beam frt axle. It was surprisingly less prone to break-down. For most half-ton pickup uses, a 351 V-8 is a much better engine. I drove my 300-6's like an old lady and got 12-14 mpg, My SON had a '93 F-150 Lightning pickup, Hot-Rod 351-W, E4OD auto trans, 4.10 gears and He got 14 mpg driving lime an idiot. Forget the 302 V8.

In this area of Wisconsin, most crops are raised to support livestock production or dairy herds in various forms. Corn products were harvested for grain, and for ensilage (we always just called it 'silage'). Silo Filling Time On dairy farms back in the 30's and into the first half of the 40's, making of corn silage was done with horses pulling a corn binder producing tied bundles of fresh, sweet-smelling corn plants, nice green leaves with ear; the
