Yea , we do with the newest being a 74 1066 a 64 806, a 64 706 a J D A not sure of her birthday and a J D 720 D . Then there is John boy that has a H a J D B a J D 50 both of witch were bought new on the farm a Farmall 460gas bought new, a 400 that has been in the neighborhood all it's life and 64 806 that he is second owner on and a 966 and a J D 55 combine bought new and still looks good and works good. Vernon has a S/MTA that his grand dad bought new and a 1950 T a 2255 and a repowered 1855 . Then there is Billy with two S/Mta's one was bought new on the farm and a second one i found him a WD45 bought new and a late 8 N bought new with all the equipment to go with it and a 1066 . I have a 1486 a 806 D a S/MTA a 53 S/H . One of these day's i will finish up working on the 14. Only thing i have that was restored as they call it today was the M/TA . It got a bath and a a pint job , one head lite fixed and the brakes and a new set of rear tires and a new seat . Repairs to date on the M/TA is Cam cam gears and last summer changed it over to twelve volt and a carb rebuild. I gave up on trying to have nice shinny tractors for myself , Each time i got one all fixed up and painted someone would stop by and buy it , no matter what price it put on them. I bought a nice 806 Diesel off a farmer out in In. brought it home spent two days pressure washing it a week working on it then painting it with a SHOW paint job as this one i was going to keep . One day in late Oct . i pulled it out of the shop to get a tractor in to work on and while i was working on tis other tractor tis guy i had never seen before comes in and start asking me about the 806 and if it was for sale . Told him no about a dozen times and he would not let up , Finally i pulled a price off the top of my head that i figured would have him tuck his tale and run. All he said was OH , ok and left while i stood there laughen to myself thinking i sure fixed him . 20 min. later he comes back and asked me how i wanted the check then made out, then i threw him another cure and told him i only took CASH fifteen min. later he was back with 8750 bucks in Cash. Made my mind up that if i wanted to keep a tractor not to paint it up . This 806 i have now is plum ugly and NOBODY wants it , but it sure do run good and everything works .
