I farm about 8 acres, usually in wheat and soybeans. My newest piece of equipment was built in 1952. Outside of tractors I have less than $1500 invested. I do it all myself with this old equipment. Normally the only thing I don't do myself is spraying, which the local Co-op does. Just not worth messing around with a license for the tiny acreage, although I probably could buy a small sprayer pretty cheap. I own 3 plows, a disc, spring tooth harrow, cultipacker, grain drill, combine, mowing machine, hay rake, baler, corn planter, corn picker, & 3 wagons. None of this stuff was in very good shape when I got it but was able to make it usable without much investment, just time and work. Bear in mind that I've accumulated this machinery one piece at a time over 35 years. A lot of the stuff I bought out of a fence row for $20 has been turned into scrap over the last 5 years, so it'll be harder to do it now. My beans yield as good as my neigh bors new no till, but I have a lot more time & money invested in planting and harvesting. Thew idea is to enjoy doing it, and I do.

At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
