Well guys, it’s like this. We all need hobbies to keep us sane and I have been playing with wenches since I was an early teenager. Funny thing, so has my father in law, Now that he is retired, he still does, only for other people, He charges $19 an hour working on other peoples tractor from overhauling to painting and that is his play money. There is a big market out there for people to work on those old tractor if they know what they are doing because dealerships won’t touch these old tractor unless they get a outrageous price for their shop and a lot of people will not pay that. The dealership back home will not touch anything older than 1964, they just send them out to my father in laws. Guess what I will be doing when I retire at 59 in about 8 years. John In Iowa
