Just for fun. WHY SO MANY POSTS?

Think I hear my H calling to me to come and watch the Huskers playing on TV with er.

I think the traffic on the Farmall forum shows that it is just not in my area that this is the case.

The last JD A I saw working was my Grandfather's back in the 1970's, the Last Farmall M was yesterday.

You just watch what happens at Christmas, massive amounts of seasons greetings on Farmall page. Not saying it never happens on the other pages, but not to the extent it does here. That alone gives you some idea of the caliber of folks your dealing with. It's the people who make anything like this work.

My wife gets a kick out of it when I start talking about Nebraska Cowman from Wellfleet or El Toro from Maryland or CNKS from Kansas or Hugh MacKay from Ontario (THINK that's right). Then there's the incomparable Bob M. from the Rochester area--very helpful to me on my SM brakes. And Janicholson (Minnesota, right?) who's also been helpful to so many. And there's BillyinStoughton, who I've met personally, who is a another great guy I admire a lot.

One word about green. When I was a kid I used to nearly get into fist fights with my best friend, who was green. But I outgrew that. And now I just good-naturedly spar with my farmer friend Bobby, who farms with green, collects green, and who has given me a spot in his equipment shed and his shop for my Super M. In fact, it sits right next to his M--the only red he has. And there is no better man, no kinder man than Bobby.

Just one more comment about green. The boys from Moline have done a lot of things right in the marketplace, when a lot of other companies have developed myopia and stopped listening to their customers and shot themselves in the foot. I used to work for Jacobsen Division of Textron at Jake's corporate headquarters in Racine, WI. We were the number two player in the golf and professional turf maintenance equipment market (Toro was number one; Ransomes was three.) John Deere entered the market and the other powers laughed. They're not laughing any more.

Red, green. Hey, both go real well together, especially at Christmas, which will be here before we know it.

THANKS to all you guys.
