Both this book and our mechanical knowledge owe a great deal to the talented friends and mechanics we have known in our years of dealing with equipment. We’d especially like to thank Lawrence Reynolds III, Arlyn and Kevin Rediger, and Tim Stanton, along with the guys at Badger Sales, Swoboda Implement, Tractor Central, and Baribeau Implement. Last, Ann is still grateful to our old neighbor, Gary Bathke, who spent a summer’s evening long ago installing a cut-off switch in the Farmall so that she didn’t have to jump-start it every morning.
Any mistakes are, of course, our own.
