Apple orchards surrounded my parents house, so I naturally wanted an orchard style tractor for as long as I can remember. When I was riding the school bus, I was always on the lookout for any 1950's era orchard tractor. They were the most interesting to look at.
I've been tinkering with mechanical things for pretty much my entire life. When I was 17, I started collecting antique chainsaws, because they were affordable. When I was 23, my girlfriend's parents gave us a couple of antique Scorpion snowmobiles.
