I'd always had an interest in machinery and on a visit to the UK I ran across an old gent in the village that my grandmother lives in who was out and about in his steam traction engine. After talking with him for a while he invited me back to his place to see his collection of 30 odd vintage tractors. When I came home (Canada) I started researching old tractors and looking for one of my own.
Fast forward a year and a half and I was taking a boat building course on every second weekend. One weekend we took a 'field trip' and went to see the ecoforestry operation where we got our wood from. Upon arrival we went for a walk and in the back of the last building we passed I saw part of an old tractor peeking out and made a mental note of it. That night at summer I asked the owner of the place about it and he said it was for sale at $500. Needless to say I very soon became the owner of a 1953 Farmall Super A with two way ploughs and a 6' sickle bar mower and some of the cultivators.
I had to wait for the snow to melt before I could go and collect it (and didn't the winter just drag on and on :). We couldn't get it to start so the seller hitched up his team and we extracted it with a team of Belgian horses and when we got it down to the road we used them to tow start it!
