Brian: I really don't think any great apology is necessary. Many of us have spent far too many hours putting together some of this old iron. Not sure about Dave, but I'm sure I have. I have three of the little offset Farmalls and in my lifetime have owned three others. Most of these were bought to acquire attachments or implements. The tractors I currently have are Super A, 130 and 140. I have 14 fast hitch implements, 2 sets of row crop cultivators, a snow blade and a Woods belly mower. All but two of the fast hitch implements are either partially or completely fabricated by myself or I hired someone to do it. If I count the time and miles I've clocked, plus the money spent, less what I've taken in as I have sold a few items, this entire collection is worth $35,000. Do you suppose I would ever get offered that for it? Not bad economics for a Scotsman. Is the Dutchman in MI laughing? Probably !!! I had hoped we would get another rise out of him.
