I am 32 raising 4 kids, 12,10,3 and 15 months. I placed the chance to see my grandchildren and them to know me before tractors. I have the 3 tractors from our family farm + 6 more in various states of repair, we farm 90 acres with 20 head of beef cattle along with working full time. Money is short but memories are forever.
My oldest children all know which tractor is which and that daddy keeps them running. Hopefully one will take to them.
My father whom is 64 helps to restore our tractors, the H is done, The 200 in the process, The 400 is an up and running and very useable tractor, the A mows the lawn, the M does as needed, The 1466 and 806 do the bull work, The backhoe does everything else. With a couple more A's waiting.
But as I said money is short when you are raising children, so without my fathers help, $$$, things would not be as nice.
I beleive you hit the nail on the head with lack of money and no time. Once you get your children raised you will have more time and $$ for your hobby what ever it is.
I too would be classified as one of the younger bunch, But that doesn't mean my blood doesn't run Red. I just could not afford to tackle these tractors that somebody let rot away.
I have more fun bringing these tractors back to life than more anything. There is nothing nicer than driving a pile of parts in and in the spring taking it to a parade.
The future is that these old tractors will be around along time and so will there be people who restore, use, restify and respect them.
My daughters will most likly always know dad had red tractors and hopefully they will have one of their own. If not somebody will have one of them and hopefully they will pass it onto another.

Today's Featured Article - Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
