I'm new at this and very excited about it so I'll probably exibit 'irrational exuberance' but here goes any how. People collect stamps, arrow heads, baseball cards, beany babies, and countless other items, most of which are useless as t--- on a tomcat. Tractors do work. The kinds of work they can do is limited only by our imaginations. Not only are they incredibly useful but we can also work on them, actually get our hands dirty, and the sense of satisfaction when it works perfectly is mostly unknown to other forms of collections, hobbies, or whatever. The people who do these restorations are mostly farmers, past, present, or wannabes, the salt of the earth, the kind of folks who made this country what it is, true Americans. Where else can you find such a selfless, giving, helpful group of folks? The collectors and restorers are truly a unique group and I cannot help but believe they will continue to attract those who appreciate these qualties in people. Our kids are smarter than are we. They will not let this slip away.
