I have seen many young men and women on this net discussing tractors. My nephew came here this weekend. He said that he wished that he had an old tractor to restore. He is 16 yrs old.

The kids are not going to be interested until they see that we are interested. Like the example of my nephew this weekend. It's like fishing, gotta look for nibbles before the bites.
