Tractors and Engines
In 1988, we stopped at Casa De Fruta, on CA Hwy. 152, to look at some buffalo.
While there, Bill heard a sound (pop chuca chuka) in the distance. He
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.
