Rather than respond to each post individually, I would like to respond to everyone who was gracious enough to share his or her thoughts.
Please do contact RFDTV; everyone should. The more people that request this show the more support it will get from the network. Their website is: www.rfdtv.com.
I definitely want to involve clubs in the show. Have someone from your club contact me. Museums too.
I really appreciated all the comments about what people wanted to see in the show. Please email me with all the ideas you are willing to share.
I would explain one thing here about how much “how-to” you could put in a broadcast. To show the detail one would need to demonstrate, for example, re-building a carburetor, it would require a full half-hour or so of straight video. That would never fly on a broadcast; it has to appeal to a broader audience. That kind of video is called generically, “Special Interest” video, normally distributed directly on videotape. I intend to make those as well and then someone who is actually going to do the project can get the tape and have all the detail.
Don’t worry about “mega budgets” ruining the show, believe me it won’t be a problem!
There will be historical perspective presented that will provide some context for what we are accomplishing with our restoration activity. Being “ rare” really makes a particular tractor less historically important, don’t you think?
I really appreciate all the information you all have provided to me. I will put it to good use. Keep the comments coming, feel free to email me. I know I’ll get spammed for it but I made my address public on these posts. dave

As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
