My interest is in engines, I have worked on small engines like weed eaters, lawnmowers, and golf carts and larger engines like tractors I made my money in high school by buying old run down farm equipment and restoring it back to working order I sold many pieces of restored equipment such as a dirt Pan, a 14 foot John Deere plow, a haymaster hay tedder, small 5 foot disc and a two row Burch planter I have split our Ford 6610 tractor in half and replaced the clutch I have completely rebuilt the engine in our Ford 4000 tractor
