Some of the fields on this 63 + patch of hills has not been mowed for several years. Little by little I have been mowing them with the old Ford 3000. In some locations eight foot tall sumac, thorn trees and walnut were not unusual.

Finally, while the tractor was going over one of them a linkage from the clutch pedal to the clutch was broken. The cost? Almost $100 for a little metal rod. But now, Lord willing, I can resume the clearing process.
