I took a ride to look at a tractor I didn't think existed. Seller had a 1957 IH B-275 advertised. No such thing as far as I know, but wanted to see what it really was. I got there and the tractor was gone. But - a motorcycle was sitting there instead and it was a model I had been wanting to buy since the late 60s. A 1968, 883 cc Harley Sportster. I only wanted an 883 between 68-70. I have had my eyes open since the 70s but never come across one that was cheap enough for me to shell out the bucks. I was riding all British bikes in the 60s-70s but. There was a TV show called "Then Came Bronson" that focused on a guy and his 883 Harley, working his way around the country. That is what got me going on this sort of fixation. So, here is was. Kind of butchered, and it was for sale where it was because it died there. Quit on the old guy who owned it so he just parked it on the grass and put a for-sale sign on it.
So, no tractor. I bought the bike, yes. Old geezer wanted $2000. I took it home for $1200. I know I will be sorry once I start tearing into it and trying to get it the way I think it ought to be. Just like always happens with old tractor. It is here at home now. Next winter project, I guess. You can see it looks quite different then the stock bike in the TV photo.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
