JMOR, there are only so many times you can ask/answer "Why won't my tractor start?" before you start running out of people to ask the question. Most everybody who wants to get their tractor running, has their tractor running.
This whole "old tractors" thing isn't growing anymore. It's time to face that fact. The old guys who have been carrying it for the past 20 years are getting too old to continue on, or are passing on entirely.
That "Boomer" generation has by far the largest number of "farm kids." With every passing generation there are fewer and fewer farms, and hence fewer and fewer farm kids to pull from to keep this thing going. Those kids in turn are being pulled in to help operate and manage the massive farms, leaving little time for "frivolous" activities like playing with old tractors.
All this results in fewer people participating, and resulting lower traffic in the forums like this one. It's natural, unfortunately.
