look kid, I am the same person you will be in about 16 years from now and believe me I know how you feel. My dad did the same thing starting in 1957 so I know it sucks. The thing to remember is look back on the time when you were growing up at the things you had and wanted. Your dad is probably like mine in the respect that he wanted you to have the best he could provide by doing the only thing he knew how to do to get it. My dad quit school in the third grade to work on the farm so he didn't have a whole lot of education but he did have what it took to raise 4 of his kids and two of his deceased brother in laws. I can well remember standing at the front door wondering when will daddy get home and thinking maybe when he gets back he won't have to leave again. I've gotten older now and I understand what he went through to get me where I am today. Granted he didn't want me following in his footsteps but I just couldn't help myself. My parents have been together for 48 years now and you must undestand that it takes a special kind of woman to stay faithful to a man she only see's once a week or month for a few minuets or hours. Please try to understand all your dad has sacrificed for you and one or two siblings. The world isn't the most forgiving place there is, so if your family can't forgive you for doing what you have to do to take care of them then it's really not that important that you do it, unless you really love them, in which case it doesn't matter, you do it anyway. My dad is 67 now and I know that a time will come that he will no longer be there for me and I haven't figured out what I'm going to do without him. I know there is still alot that he hasn't told me yet, and a whole lot more that I'll need his advice about, which he will, after he gives me a chance to fall on my face a few times trying it on my own. So just remember the older you get the smarter he'll get. SORRY ABOUT THE LONG POST but sometimes I have to let my feelings out to someone and perhaps help them understand what life really is about.

New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. 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
