Did anyone ever use a tractor where the 'ignition key' was a gear position on the gear box?
I remember driving a blue and white tractor. It might be a Fordson. To start the tractor, you put in the clutch and then moved the gear lever to the upper left position and pushed. That engaged the starter. You'd release the gear lever once it started. I think the rest of the gears were in an "H" configuration with reverse in the upper left(not counting the starter position). |

I remember when I was 16 and went to get fuel. Couldn't figure out why the gas nozzle would not fit in my truck. Oh! My truck did NOT use leaded gas! Move to the unleaded pump son.

I used to use the oil spouts that were kind of like an oil gun with a trigger to punch the hole in the oil can.
I owned a 1950 Harley and a 1970 VW bus so I know how to set up a magneto and set the dwell on a set of points. |

This was pages ago, but I'd bet that PCI compliance did away with those as soon as chip readers showed up. I can't imagine there's a single processor that would process numbers read off a carbon copy anymore. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Heck, a local business was still issuing one of those back in 2009 or 2010. Wouldn't surprise me if they still were. My latest CC is a Discover Card and the numbers are printed on. The card is completely smooth so there's nothing to print a carbon copy off of. |

My dad had me pour it around the fence posts down by the road. It kept the weeds down Now as far as what it did to the water table...... View Quote Even though this was the late 80's/early 90's, this farm was stuck in the 1940's/50's so I got to learn a lot of things the good old fashioned way. Things like cultivating corn with front mount cultivators on narrow front end tractors with manual lift, bailing hay with small square balers with no bale thrower/kicker and stacking the bales on the wagons by hand as they came out a chute on the back of the baler. Cleaning the dairy barn gutters by hand with a hoe and pitch fork. Also feeding cows with a wheelbarrow and ensilage fork and/or scoop shovel. Milking cows in a stanchion barn with buckets and a dumping station. Mowing hay with a sickle bar mower that had rivet on knives, and then running that hay through a conditioner after it had been mowed. Picking ear corn with a one row New Idea Picker into gravity wagons, and the shelling the corn as it was needed for the cows with a hand cranked sheller. Chopping corn with a one row Fox chopper, blowing it into open top badger wagons, then blowing it up an old shingle roofed, brick silo. No fancy unloader for that silo either. We climbed to the top, and shoveled/forked out what we needed for the day down an unloading chute that had doors that slide up and down to match the level of silage in the silo. The cows lived in the barn all winter, and only went out side for fresh air after the morning milking while we cleaned the barn, and put fresh straw down. They lived outside in the spring/summer/fall, and all we had to do at milking time was ring a bell and holler for them, and they all came running to the barn door. Of course there were always a few assholes that we needed to walk out and motivate to come in, or a few wild bitches who thought you walking out there was play time, and would either run like the wind as far away as they could, or chase your ass over the fence. A few days of this bullshit and their udders being ready to burst usually broke that behavior quick. It was a big deal for a cow to die back then, some of the old grandma's of the herd were 20+ years old, and the lived their entire life on the farm. There was never any sending older unproductive ones off to auction. When they got old and feeble, they were, as the old saying goes..."put out to pasture"....usually with the young ones that hadn't had their first calf yet, and they kinda watched over them and taught them to not be wild dickheads around people. When it was her time to go, we would usually just find them "asleep" out in the pasture, get the loader tractor, bring her back to the barn, and call the rendering plant who would send a truck to pick her up and take her away. Those old time dairy farmers really had a connection with their cows, and they were almost like pets/family to them. |
