Why are we so attracted, indeed so fond of, our old tractors? For me, I think it is a tangible link to a better time, actual or percieved. My old PowerMaster takes me back to the fifties when I think of the factory where she was built, the guys that worked on her over the years and especially the men that used her to plow, seed and harvest crops for their living. It conjures warm summer mornings, green fields and blue skies. A prop plan droning far overhead, an old farm truck whining up the blacktop, Whiporwills in the distance. I get that same feeling from old buildings down in the West Bottoms of KC, the old 30-something humpback Chevy lurking out in my weed patch and from 40's and 50's airplanes. Heck, I even married a 50's vintage woman! Am I just a sentimental slob living in the past or do others feel the same way?
