Probably a good point, but it riles up some whose major experience with old farm tractors is as a collector/tinkerer.

Nothing wrong with that, because without such wide interest, we'd all be worse off. Know lots of folks who have never done anything more useful with an old tractor, than buy it, restore it and show it off. But in my opinion, tractors are tractors, regardless of the level of involvement of the owner. Worst offenders in the puffy-chest department in my experience, are those who BOUGHT restored JDs, spend too much time braggin' on 'em and use them for nothing but a trinket.

An uncle who farmed for over 40 years with Farmalls and Internationals, was surrounded by green equipment (JD dealer right up the road). He owned JD balers, a JD combine and some other green implements...but the power was all red, except for a brief flirtation with a 2010 w/industrial loader.

He used to delight in un-sticking a green tractor too, especially with his WFE 560 gasser. Kinda miss the sound of a 2-lunger off in the distance in the summer, but not enough to actually own one. ;O)

A buddy has several self-restored JD "parade tractors": A, B, L and a couple whose model I've forgotten. He did most of his actual farm work with a 2000 series JD diesel, a little 70s-vintage Ford 3000, Oliver Super 55 and a ratty old Farmall M.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo ... [Read Article]
