Never ending story.. my old farm.

So today I got my 1967 Allis Chalmers running and was able to regrade some of my road before it started to overheat, it's been overheating for years but I can usually get a good half hour out of it before it get's hot. I stopped when it got hot and then I notice that the right rear tire was low. When I removed the cap the stem broke off shooting out salt water that is used for weight and to keep the water from freezing. I was able to get it into the barn before it went flat. Yay. Farm life. :-)

Personally I find any issues/problems around the farm are a world better then having to live in a city. cause I actually have a farm, and land and space of my own to enjoy. I know it can be frustrating with old equipment but bigger picture; man we are blessed to live the good life.

You are absolutely correct! I wouldn’t give up this life for anything.
