We picked up the M Thurs. eve. Turned out to be a pretty eventful evening. It was "tight quarters" in the guy's back area and when I was backing the g/n up to get it positioned, discovered there wasn't enough slack in the wires for the trailer lights and the connector snapped. Finally got the g/n positioned and while James loaded the tractor, I worked on repairing the lights. After getting the tractor loaded, James came to help with the lights and we finally got the right wires in the right spots and left about 7:30 pm. When we were sitting at the light at Hwy. 19 and I-20 in Canton, I looked to the left and could see the moon, stars and a few clouds. When I looked to the north, lightening. As we headed north on Hwy. 19, the lightening got real wild. I figured we were in for one nasty storm. As it turned out, we just caught the edge - some rain, but not much wind. Hooray! I wasn't so much concerned about the rain as I was wind. James was in the Dodge with the equipment trailer and the Ford 2810 and I was in my Chevy with the smaller g/n and the new M. We had lightening, thunder and some rain most of the way to the farm. When we got to the farm, it hadn't been raining there and we cut across the pasture. Just to be safe, I stopped and shifted into 4wd. Waste of time. Its about 1/2 mile across the fields to the house and the 4wd never engaged. James had just gotten out of his truck and I had just gotten pulled into the yard of the shop when it started to pour. Again, we were just on the edge as it lasted about 10 seconds. It was now just after midnight. Tired, as soon as the rain quit we both headed for the house and called it a night. On Sat. we got the mower hooked up and tested it. It didn't work like we wanted and on Sun tweaked the set up. We've got a few things to fix on the M, but not much. We're both really pleased with the new addition. I took some pix and will post when I can.

Today's Featured Article - My Ford Golden Jubilee - by Troy Estes. This article is about my '53 Ford Jubilee and a story that starts with taking the tractor to my brother's Starter/Alternator Rebuilding shop for a wiring fix. The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
