Mitch,
I grew up on a small farm (180 acres)in southern Minnesota. However dad farmed together with grandpa and my uncle. All tolled about 600 acres. Still small scale by today's standards. I left the farm in 1967, per my dad's suggestion that I could do better. He was right. After several years of driving truck (local and over-the road) and a full-time fireman for 7 years, I went back to college and got my degree in computer science (don't ask me why that career choice), but I have been doing it for the last 20 years. But any spare time I had was back at the farms. My toy collection is limited to replicas we had, a collection my dad started. My concentration is on the real ones. My uncle and his son, myself and my son, and 2 of my sisters own 14 of the original tractor used on the farms. (Yes, my sisters are involved too). All are in running order, most restored. The only replicas I don't have are the early styled. 41 B, 41 A.
So that's my story, but I thoroughly enjoy yours and Stans input on this board, and I will try to keep in contact.
Loren
