I love the old stuff. Anymore I buy things to use and enjoy and know it will be someone else’s problem when I am long gone. I farm with newer tractors (late 70’s and 80’s) but have old Farmalls to grind feed and run the auger and old grain trucks all the way back to 1935 that do daily chores and hauling. I use my semis to do nearly all of my grain hauling so the five straight trucks do things like haul water to the cattle. They all mean a lot to me but I bought them for me knowing that the next generation will likely just see them as something old they don’t know how to operate. One was my grandfathers and one niece has claimed it when I am gone. It’s the only thing specifically named in my will. Everything else just gets auctioned
Years ago I bought an M Farmall with a loader as my first loader tractor. It was my chore machine as a young farmer just getting going. It had been restored at some point and has live hydraulics and power steering. I paid $800 for it and haven’t so much as adjusted the points in all these years. That just goes to show you how the market had fallen. Just a couple of years earlier it could have fetched nearly 10 times that.
I have four collectible cars. The market has soften on them a bit but was still a good investment (I’ve owned them about 25 years). This year I decided I wasn’t showing my winning car anymore so it needed to just be driven. I have used it as the “good car” since June. Today I ran to town to get something in a downpour - something I wouldn’t have dreamed of doing 10 years ago. It’s just a car. It needs to be used as one. The chances of a younger generation appreciating it for the engineering and reliability it is his slim to none. So I will just enjoy it my way

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
