Welcome Gabe! 'Twas 52 yrs ago that I was your age. I think there are a lot more young people out there that are involved in the old tractor hobby than most think. Problem is , they don't make the news like the trouble makers. Our news media doesn't reallize that "positive" news sells also. Every year for the last 4 years , over 800 antique tractors/owners have amassed (me included)for the annual crossing of the great 5 mi long Mackinac Bridge that links Lower and Upper Michigan. Have ANY of you on here ever seen any news media or tv coverage of it??? No drugs/alcahol/rock parties/nudity or shootings?? Why it don't stand a chance of any coverage.
