Hi Folks: Just back from a 2-day, 130-mile tractor ride across NW Iowa (sponsored by KICD radio Spencer) and a 3-day, 150-mile ride through east central Iowa (sponsored by WHO Des Moines). The Jubilee, fresh back from extensive overhaul, ran like a jewell cruising at 10-12 in straight 4th and in Sherman high-side 4th. What a joyeous event to drive through rolling corn and bean fields and pastures full of cows and calves. About 100 tractors on the KICD ride and 300 on the WHO ride. (another 200 trctors came from Eastern Iowa and met us in Amanas for final day. Yep, 500 old tractors in one place!) I stayed in motels, but many bring campers and a few sleep under the tractor or a tent. Local towns and caterers supply great hot meals. Then its ride, ride, ride. Perhaps I'll write more sometime, but I'm leaving town for a few days with grandkids and kids for 4th of July. Our little Fords are great for such rides; easy to haul and easy to drive and very quiet in amongst the 2-cylinder Deeres, which are a favorite of crowds. The H's and M's Farmalls pretty in red and nice for speed if stormy weather comes along. But I can see that look in the guys eyes when they see the Fords. That "I could have one of those, too" look. What a kick. Lucky to be able to cruise the countryside on a Jubilee, and visit with a bunch of tractor nuts morning noon and night. Thanks to everyone who makes this possible, including the grandmas and little kids who smile and wave by the hundreds. Almost as much fun as disking with a Ford when I was a Kid. Gotta go! Be back next week. Mike
