A hobby site
Old iron, wheat harvests, and all things mechanical.
Welcome to my hobby site. It was created to share my interest in and enjoyment of farming and all things mechanical: harvest journals from my years driving combine and semi, plus restoration notes on the tractors, trucks, engines and lathes I own or have worked on for friends.
