I'm 57 and I started driving my Dad's 39 F20 when I was about 8 or 9. I bought my own 51 H when I was 15. Not much farming land available when I graduated so sold it and moved to town. Now, still living in town, I felt the need to save some of this old iron and also I needed a hobby. Last fall, I bought a '46 H and over Christmas I bought a '49 H.

The best part of all this is that my wife gets off on the hobby too. In fact, she is the one who found the second tractor for me. Lucky, huh?
