tractor-engine

Updated: May 22, 2025

Then, too, machinery has one thing in common with man: they occasionally get out of kilter at the very time you expect most from them. So this morning I had to bend, if I did not actually break, the Sabbath by working on my tractor-engine. I put on Ikkie's overalls for I have succeeded in coercing Ikkie into a jumper and the riding-seat of the old gang-plow and went out and studied that tractor.
