We were at the Rio Grande Valley Livestock Show this past week. Among the many exhibits there is a Antique tractor Organization. Among the items on display was this combine. I began to examine it and am 99.9% sure it was my dad's combine. I found four instances which pretty much nails it down. The inside header hinge broke. We had no means to raise and remove the entire header to replace the hinge. I jacked up and blocked the header in place. I removed the conveyor canvas and Sycle drive pulley and pulled the canvas drive shaft back. I could not get wrenches in to remove the hinge bolts. I used a cold chisel to cut a hole to access the bolts. The hole is still there. Daddy replaced the right tire with an ordinary truck tire. The tire is still there. The drive chain for the seed elevator kept getting knocked off by the grain stubble. I put a board in front of the chain. It is still there.
The wooden hinge blocks for the separator broke and I made replacements from mesquite wood. Those blocks are still there. My wife is still a bit unsure. She maintains these could be normal ways for farmers to make repairs in the field during harvest time.

I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm. To this day, it's some of the best stories I've ever heard. And now, I'm so glad that I asked those questions, and if I were a little smarter i
