[Farmall] "just about worn out"

[E. John Puckett]

The subject line first made me think you were talking about me.    I 
have ny Dada H he farmed with for 45 years.  In it's life the engine has 
been rebuilt 4 times, the hole in the tongue built up and drilled out 
twice, as well as countless other wear repairs.

He told me to take a look at the throttle and see what was worn so that it would no longer stay in the last notch (wide open). Figured it just needed a little welding and filing. When I went to unhook the rod from the throttle lever, I came to realize just how many hours this poor tractor has. The rod had worn over halfway through in the area the cotter pin goes. It was surprising the cotter pin hadn’t just fallen out. I took it off to show him, all he could say was “I reckon that’s just about worn out.”  Certainly the understatement of the day, guess I’ll be welding the rod up too!
