Hi Hugh, Guess I just like hangin' out around you IH guys 'cause it makes me feel at home without all the hassles and pressures of life & livin' these days. Farm people are just good, decent folks and I like bein' around 'em. I swear to you that I didn't know I was doing that; the money thing, I mean. If I was, it was a totally subconscious thing going on. But, still and all, I'm treadin' on some pretty thin ice even being here on this board; I am not a collector in any sense of the word. I could care less about these darned things. They are just tractors; that's all they are. Common as an everyday pair of shoes. They are just tools to me and I'm putting these old tractors back together to work and I'm buildin' them to be in the same condition just as my other tractors were the day the damned banker sold me out. So, if I responded to you in a knee-jerk fashion this morning, I can assure you that it was because I've milked those cows, I loaded the shi! and I've done the whole, complete farm thing; all of my life, save these last 23 years of pure agony. I've been there and I've done that. So, to be honest, I guess it was from my "farm sale ghosts" kicking in and certainly not from anything personal with you. You're the rich one Hugh, you got to stay on the dirt. I'd give everything I own in this world to be back down there on the farm. Thanks for responding, I'm just sorry this had to spill over where those other guys could see it. They didn't deserve this bit of dirty laundry. Allan

Memories of an IH Super A When I was ? up to 10, I worked on my Papaw's farm in Greeneville, TN every summer. As I grew older (7), it was the thrill of my day to ride or drive on the tractor. My Papaw had a 1954 IH Super A that he bought to replace a Cub. My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
