49, I know it looks, walks,talks that way. But, these machines have had lives of their own! More so than any other ever made, been the topic of Coffee Shop, Pregame Friday Night, inbetween bids at the Auction Barn,Church on Sunday conversations.
These tractors no matter the color have history. Beyond the regular run of the mill farm stuff.
It is the stories when this Ol' Darlin was used to get to some one stranded in a snow storm or flood or such. Pulling a load it was never ment to handle, and by all rights did it flawlessly.
The time it got harvest done, by helping drag the combines around at the turnrow, Then deadhead to the other end to do it again there ,ect,ect ,ect.
It is here in the Corn,Milo fields where these "Legends" started mostly true. But with some embilishments over the many tellings of it.
So if WE let this love for old Tractors fall to the point of the most perfect model, perfect paint,pristine showroom condition, Then we are no better than the old car shows, only perfect collector models there. It is the Battle scars that tell the real story! The Little boys, myself included, that dreamed of, helped pen, By being at the wheel,to give the firsthand account of the primis for the story.
49, For me it is the untold srories that I would like to know.
