    Which Old Ford Tractor??

    I was with a friend last week at an equipment auction and saw an old Ford 8N go for $900.00. The price didn't capture my attention at all. It was the lines on the sheet metal and the sound of that gasoline engine. That night, I was looking at YouTube and saw the 2N, 8N, 9N and the '53 NAA Golden...

    LED Battery Charging Gauge On The Kubota BX25D

I'm a gauge guy anyway - I'd prefer a cockpit full of them so I could monitor EVERYTHING!!... You know the saying - I'm not a control freak, more of a control enthusiast!! :D If you want one...
