In 1988, we stopped at Casa De Fruta, on CA Hwy. 152, to look at some buffalo. While there, I heard a sound (pop chuca chuka) in the distance. I later found this to be the now-too-familiar sound of one-cylinder engines. This grew into an interest in not only one-cylinder gas engines, but also antique-gasoline tractors.

Fortunately, Stacey is an understanding wife!

And now, one of my tractors.

Here is Columbo sitting in front of the 1936 John Deere® model A.

Looks a little different now, as I back it into THE BARN for the first time

Here is Adam practicing for the Tulare Co. Farm Show.
