I have 6 tractors that I tinker with. 1940, 43, 44 Farmall H's, 1950 JD A, 1950 Case VAI, and a 1951 Farmall Cub. The Cub was purchased in 96 for a mowing tractor for our 7 acres. The JD A was purchased as a project in 2011 and took almost 8 years to get running. The 40, 43 H's and VAI were my dads. The 44 H purchased in 18 was originally going to be a parts tractor but I decided to fix it. It took about 2 years to get running. The cub still gets used mowing but mainly road side and pond banks with the sickle mower. It needs an engine rebuild, it is a tired tractor. The 43 H has a 3 point and I mow with a 5' rotary cutter. The 44 H mows with a 5" pull type rotary cutter. The VAI, JD A, and 40 H are taken to local shows and driven to town once in a while. I have more money in all of them than they are worth. As to the cost, I kept track of what I spent on the JD A while rebuilding it and will never track one again. It makes you wonder if your sane. These tractors are my hobby and I will keep them running.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
