I have my late grandpas 1950 farmall Cub, which was his most prized possession, This is the first tractor he ever had, it replaced the team of horses. He told me when I would mention it being so small, and he would say George it beat the he** out of looking up a horses a**. This is the first tractor that I ever drove when I was 5 or 6 years old. It does mean the world to me as it reminds me of him every time I walk out to the barn and see it or drive it. Not only does it keep him in my mind it also reminds me of my chidhood. I also have my great granpas horse drawn equipment. I remember riding in that wagon pulled by Jack & Jim as one of my best memories as a child. He would stop along the road at every house were kids lived and pass out hard rock candy from a little bucket he kept under the seat of that old wagon. These are things that can't be replaced. Once they are gone it is hard to track them back down. My mother has never understood what some of these things mean to us boy's. She will say why do you keep all that old junk, and I say it is my link to the past. I will never part with any of it. I agree with a previous post, maybe if your mother read these replies she would have a better understanding of the how important these things are to some of us. I am sorry for the loss of your dad. To me it would be like loosing my granpas all over again to watch that old tracor or wagon go out the driveway for the last time. I hope things work out for you and you can keep some of these things. Good Luck.
