[Ford-ferguson] Lancaster Farming ads for 10/18

[Mike Sloane]

It appears that the Website page for the "Mailbox Markets" for 10/18 is 
down for reasons unknown. We had the dedication of our renovated and 
expanded firehouse on Saturday, and, with all of the festivities, I 
didn't get a chance to check the Website until now.

Prior to the ceremonies, I used my International 240U and Woods 6' 
finish mower to cut down the 4 acres of grass and weeds in the field 
next to the firehouse. The job went very well (which was a surprise - I 
usually encounter Murphy's Law when doing something like that). I did 
have one problem - I stopped at town hall to wash my hands on my drive 
back, and the tractor refused to start. Just a "click" of the brand new 
solenoid. I removed the starter and turned the armature half a turn, put 
it back on, and the engine started up just fine. I have to think that I 
may have a "dead" segment on the commutator. (This has happened before.) 
Or maybe I should have used my Ford 860...
