Very nice Mike! When I was in high school and in FFA, 10 of us went to western Nebraska for 2 weeks to live and work on a farm that still operated like it was 1900. The first week was in spring and we got the ground ready, then planted. The last week was during harvest and we got to do all that. At that time we had horses so since I was used to being around horses, I got to assist in the hitching/unhitching, and driving the horses. If people had to work like that these days, there would be a lot less population! That was a great experience. It was funny some of the others that went with us that thought they could live like that. After the 2nd day the first week, half of them were ready to go back home. Sadly, that farm is no longer in operation either.
Anyhow, I'm sure your grand children enjoy seeing all that stuff. Those hit and miss engines are too cool. How hard are they to get parts for now?Ryan
