ERIN TOWNSHIP, WELLINGTON COUNTY, 5063 FIFTH LINE: HARDSCRABBLE FARMING WITH RED SKEOCH AND HIS SON<\/span><\/p>\n

DAD may have called me A \u2018goddamn fool\u2019 but he did not mean it. \u00a0Actually he loved \u00a0fooling\u00a0around with the old horse drawn junk I bought at auction sales.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cKeep the \u00a0goddamn tractor in a straight line, I\u2019ll manage the plow. \u00a0I could do a lot better with a team of horses that\u2019s for sure.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I bought this Farmall A from Mr. Fox when \u00a0he retired. \u00a0it ran \u00a0beautifully for that one glorious summer then winter came and I parked it by the back house.<\/div>\n
That was a mistake.\u00a0 Big mistake. \u00a0I did not know that there was no anti freeze in the radiator. \u00a0 First really cold day split the block \u2026 the tractor never went again.\u00a0 For a \u00a0few weeks I was depressed \u00a0then soldiered on when at Mr. Smith\u2019s auction i was able to get an International W6 for $400 which kept Dad and I occupied \u00a0fooling around for a decade or more.<\/div>\n
