Couple days ago I was truckin' through a small west Texas town and met a funeral procession so I pulled over to let it pass by. In front there was a DPS black & white with the red & blue lights flashing. BUT behind that was a JD 8360 tractor all draped in black streamers. Behind that was a restored JD 70LP and it was draped in black too. The hearse followed the two tractors with a long long line of cars and pickups. After they all had passed by, I eased on down to a convenience store and went inside. I asked the clerk what the deal was with the tractors in the funeral procession. She said the man who had passed away was the service manager for the local JD dealer. Said he had started working there back in the 50's right out of high school sweeping floors and whatnot.

She said the man driving the new tractor was the dealer owner and the guy on the old tractor was the dead man's son on a tractor they had restored several years ago. Right at first, I thought it was kind of weird, tractors at a funeral. But the more I thought about it, that was a good way to pay tribute to the man. Especially the son on "their" tractor.

I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
