This one is shaping up kind of uncomfortable, on one hand, you have one of the most popular and entertaining guys here, lining up with a guy that is without a doubt one of the most knowledgeable. No winners here as far as I'm concerned, no matter what happens. I'd rather go back and witness the old scrap with T-Bone (or his supporters) and therealron any day.

As far as I can see, you guys are the exact polar opposites. On one hand you have a guy that that spends a bit on his old girls to make your head turn as you drive past his place and the other that has the ability to spends, if necessary to make himself smile in the back forty while working. In the end, both for their own personal satisfaction.

As far as spending the money goes, you guys that sell off your spare parts and torn down tractors smile when you get a good dollar for them...... remember, theirs a guy like Allen on the other end, buying that original dohicky showing us, what it takes to put those old tractors back to original condition. Nobody has gone to a show and not admired a tractor that is restored like that. Farming dollars hasn't restored that one, but selling those parts isn't farming either.

One guy "has been there and done that" and shares that with us. He comes here (I assume) to pass the time of day and to help us out when he feels that he can contribute. I think that, we all appreciate that. One guy was forced out, and would like to go back to what he had. Nothing wrong with either ones motivation and intent.

One initiates posts and responds regularly, sometimes about the.....well, without the context of what "yesterdays tractors" was initially intended, I would think. But the mass majority, I'm assuming again, read the posts, drink a bit of coffee well reading them and go on with life none the wiser. If you haven't learned anything from Hugh's posts, your simply a liar.

It seems one would always have a smile and a friendly personality and the other, I don't think I would want to screw with his TA on his 1066 or else.., but he would take the time and teach you everything about the TA, if you wanted to learn and he thought that you were worthy.

A lot of guys (me in this group) post frequently asked questions or posts about trying to do something themselves, and to get to the "level" of guys, like Hugh. Not a lot of traffic on pages 3,4,5,. Been there, project gets delayed or we have to go to other "avenues". That kind of stinks, because you know that there is help here.

Just like the two guys here, there will be a lot of support for both sides of this one, one side will have a lot of posted support and the other side will, just simply node there head at the screen, in support.

These forums wouldn't be the same without either one. I don't know how to end two things, this post or this situation. ...polar opposites. Hound
