I am a 43 year old Swede from Minnesota's North Country. I grew up in the woods, trapping beaver, mink, coyote and fox. I hunt Deer every year, last year I shot an 8 pointer. Not big like the Texas deer's racks but certainly edible. I have a special love for Insects and I collect them, along with Savage Model 99 .300 Savage Rifles, and sights. I have a B.S. degree from the U of M in the Twin Cites, MN. I have 9 Farmall H's in various degrees of repair and disrepair. I go to Alaska every Fall to fish for Steelhead on the Kenai Peninsula. I fish Steelhead anywhere I can find them. I am restoring two Farmall H's from the War era. I know how to take them apart very well, and am learning as I go on the reassembly part. During the day I am an AutoCAD drafting Techician, working in the Water/WasteWater Industry. We upgrade many systems in this area, most recently the Entire WLSSD system in Duluth and Alexandria's Lift Stations.
I have a girlfreind named Paula. She likes Farmall Cubs. I have not obtained one yet. I am growing to like them because they are smaller and easier to work on than H's. I like Farmall H's because of my Dad. He brought one home one cold Winter and hooked a Buzz saw up to it. I spent lots of time looking at that blade spin. I still remember the whine in my ears. I wish every kid could experience the simple power that was and is the Farmall Series. I hope people are buzzsawing wood long after I am gone. Scott

When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
