There's a lot of ways to look at this, but tractors are my primary hobby. It's what I look forward to all week. My business takes a lot of my time and is stressful, so if I didn't have something to occupy my mind other than work, I'd be a grouchy unhappy person. As far as the money issue goes, I buy carefully and wait for the right deal, and sell stuff at a profit if I want to buy something else. I try to buy and sell a few items to finance my expenses. I also know if I have to sell all my stuff, I'll walk away with at least as much as I have in it. I don't mind spending money, I just don't like to waste it. Hauling heavy tractors around is expensive, and so are the hook fees, especially if you take two or three tractors and pull several classes. I usually take drinks and food to save a few bucks (sorry to the local food stands) and I drive carefully to save a little fuel. There's been plenty of times I considered not going to an event, but at 52, how many more years can I load and unload, lift tractor weights, etc etc? You only go around once, so I'd like to live a little while I'm here. I won't jeopardize my family or business for a hobby, but if I can scratch up the funds to go, I'll be there. I'm just thankfull that I can.

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
