| Met this quite gentle man, had a lot of old tractors and emplements. Has 35 old road graders that were pulled behind tractor. Had a lot of old trucks,model a, model t, model c, horse drawn mowers. You name it he probably had it. He is 72 and has been collecting since he was 8. Talk about Tractor Fever, I bet if you looked it up in the dictionary you'd find his picture next to the term. Well He wouldn't tell me what this was, guess he wanted me to find out. Please help as I'm going to back to take photo's of his yard full of stuff next tuesday, and would be rather embarassed if I couldn't tell him what it was. Told him about this site, being from an older generation guess he didn't know what to think. I told him it's where those of us who have the fever gather in hyberspace and drool over the owning and restoration of other peoples trators. Well maybe I didn't say that, but I told him it was a internet site where a bunch of people talk about tractor's, add comments, and help with tractor problem and identify them as well. Of course it goes much deeper than that, but as I said he's a quite man who simply loves to collect. I also think he's testing us, I know I didn't post in Help Identify, but it was such a beautiful tractor I had to place it here. I will be posting more of his collection next week, and expect wet keyboards from all the drooling. I believe he also sell them as well, as so many need restoration. I really think he planned on making a museum, but has come to stand still maybe do to age. Don't get me wrong as I know he still has a lot of spunk, and could probably still out work those of us in the younger generation. Well enjoy and please give me a clue.
