    John Wilkes Booth

    Dr. Mudd was the brother of one of my Great Great Grandfathers. The question of his involvement in the Lincoln assassination has hung around for a long time. As far as I know Bill O'Reily in his book "Killing Lincoln" is the only one who had serious evidence of Dr, Mudd's guilt. The good doctor...

    A decent pair of leather gloves

    The best I ever had were horsehide. They were hard enough that barbs would not catch in them, but flexible enough I could wear them for just about everything else. Unfortunately you can't get horsehide any more. My problem with gloves is that to fit my hand the fingers are too long on my index...

    too much milk vs cheap tool

    I have not noticed the change in Craftsman tools, but I do know they still have the life time warranty.

    Best source for spare parts, John Deere 2010

    Power of the past

    The reason I like the older stuff is that I can work on them myself. The Dexta is easy and parts are available from numerous sources. There is one place, Cross Creek Tractor in Cullman, Alabama :) that parts out all kinds of old tractors and has a source of new parts for most of what you...

    Power of the past

    Heck, I use my Fordson Dexta daily. It is not "restored" meaning it has all its parts but needs paint and body work to make it show ready. Just yesterday we split it and put a new clutch in. Gosh its nice to have something you can actually work on. If I had a front end loader for it It would...
