My, my Dennis. YOU are calling ME defensive??? Wow!!! Figure that one out!!! No--I don't have any rare tractors; the tractors that I own are the ones that I was interested in and crazy about as a kid in the late 40's and early 50's. Some of them are also models of the ones I drove on my grandfather's farm and my uncles's farm: for instance, Ford 2N, a Farmall M and a M-H 44. I still have a lot of affection for these tractors and would like to own a M-H 44 some day. Neither of those tractors are at all rare. For example, I own---- 46 Ford 2N 50 Ford 8N 52 Farmall Super C 53 Farmall Super H 54 Farmall Super M 52 John Deere B 48 John Deere A 54 John Deere 70 52 M-M RTU So far, common as dirt, agreed?? I also have a 1966 Allis Chamers D10 III. I think there were only about 5,000 or 6,000 of the D10 III's made so that puts it in the "not so common" category but I wouldn't call them rare. I still maintain that you understood the essence of what the original poster was saying yet for some reason, you became very DEFENSIVE about his post the the subsequent replies. No, I'm not the judge of "rareness" but agree with the original poster that some folks, for a number of reasons, jump way over the edge when they tend to call a pretty common tractor "rare." And-your point about the wide front JD G being rare to soneone who saw only tricycles in his area holds no water. If that were the case, all of the big Wheatland tractors would be rare to me because we never saw many around here in our hill country. But go to the upper mid-west and Western Canada and you have to kick them out of your way just to walk around. So a geograhical region's lack of tractors that are common in other areas cetainly doesn't make that tractor rare. I hope you can manage to have a good weekend.
