Mark & B&D Comments are interesting to say the least. I knew a gentleman, who was never married. His place resembled a small John Deere museum. He had some siblings, all lived away. He had several 2 cylinders. Most he bought new. The only time they were wet or were away from their sheds was when he was at the wheel. Well his mind began to fail. He would drift in and out, not too bad, but he wasn't himself. He maintained his farm and equipment almost until the end. In his last years things began to disappear. 3 of his tractors sold for a "reasonable" price, to a fellow that did a B&D style restoration on them. They were resold later for enough to cover their parts, and their time, easily. The person who took the old mans money was a little smarter than the tractor jocks. He didn't have to restore the cash. By the time siblings arrived on the scene, not only was the horse out, but the barn was burned, and the land a strip mine. Boys & Girls, what goes around, comes around. If we all live long enough, we all may out live our minds. Some things may not be illegal, but they may be immoral.
