My dad passed away 5 years ago, I still have the farms, but work full time off farm. I try to keep all of his old equipment going, but it's a real chore.
Well his old M hadn't been used probably 12 hours in the last 5 years. I kept it shedded, started it about once a month, disked the garden etc. Well the battery cables got bad, the battery was old ,you know the story. Well Saturday I made some new cables out of 2/0 welding cable a friend gave me. Put a new 12 volt NAPA battery in it $75.00, checked the oil,, , put in fresh gas and off we went.
I drove it all over the place, even got stuck on the thawing mud in a branch. Carried some ashes from the wood stove in the hunting cabin and off again.
