I am currently living on a small lot in Bedias, TX with dreams of garden and orchard.
I lived in NM a few decades back on my father in law's farm. I was a total wash out as a farmer, but had some success with vegetable garden and I helped my neighbors by fixing farm machinery and household appliances, especially refrigerators.
I got pretty deep into the innards of old tractors including repairing the three point hitch hydraulics in 8N, 9N, and TO30 tractors. I was impressed by the beauty of the design in the pumps especially but in the whole system in general.
I became interested in the forum when I saw a discussion about problems in the three point hitch system where the diagnoses did not correspond with the symptoms in my experience. The thread is probably a dead issue since the last responses were back in 2012. I hope the original poster got the problem fixed correctly. The fix is actually pretty simple but requires work in the hydraulic pump.
I am interested in yaupon because it is the only plant native to North America which produces caffeine. I would like to test and select for flavor and caffeine content. Yaupon tea is actually quite drinkable, though it tends to have a very "green" flavor. It also provides habitat for wildlife and the berries provide food for some of our feathered friends.
