Oliver 550 Tractor

[89 MJ]

So I'm working on a school project and I remembered something that I never mentioned here. Two days before I left for school, when I should have been packing, I had to clear a couple of dead branches at home. When I turned the tractor off because we had company (actually was Grandpa Jim's, who I inherited the tractor from, daughter and grandson), the key switch shorted out and caught fire. Thankfully no damage was done, but I did end up spending the afternoon repairing the wiring and replacing the key switch.

Oh yeah, it got my attention. Glad it was an easy fix with no real damage.

Got a hat to go along with the tractor. This will probably replace my American Motors hat as my day to day hat. The AMC hat is nice, but after 2.5 years, it’s showing its age.
