You Never Forget | I was like several other kids who grew up on a farm and I did not want to be there because I could think of several other things that I would love to do and it wasn't farming. We would get up at 3am and go to the barn and milk 28 cows (by hand), then clean the barn and feed the other livestock. We would wash up in the horse tank and head to the house for breakfast. After breakfast we would go to the tractors and head for the fields. We had a Farmall H and a Case, however, I had to drive the Farmall because the Case had a wide front end and to me at that time, the Case did not look like a tractor to me becasue the front wheels were not together. I spent many hours on that H and it become like one of my arms. I could tell by the sound of the engine if it was running like it should and I knew what it could do and not do. I remember turning to sharp once and broke the tongue on the wagon I was pulling. (Really heard about this) Years have gone by since I went through those days and I would think about it off and on. A friend of mine has several tractors and goes the Antique Tractors Shows in Oklahoma which I found myself going to. Looking at all the Antique Tractors brough back some memorys of the days gone by. The Lord Blessed me this Christmas and I was able to purchase a 1941 Farmall H which is 90% restored and ready to show. The only thing that I can say is YOU-NEVER-FORGET.Everyone have a Blessed 2004 Sheriffbob Sheriffbob, Ok, entered 2004-01-01 My Email Address: Not Displayed |

Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
