Why do YOU collect old tractors? I just like them. When I was a little kid in the 50's, Dad farmed and most all the kids I went to school with came from farms. We played on tractors, rode tractors, had toy tractors, argued about which was best, ran to the road to watch anybody going by on a tractor and envied any kid whose Dad got a new one. It gets in your blood. I can still remember being 4 or 5 and Dad had a MM twin city that was his big tractor. I rode many miles setting on the tool box facing backwards with my arms wrapped around the gear shift lever. He had a Ford Jubilee, had to open the hood to put gas in it. He kept a sack with some apples in the tool box. When we got hungry or needed a break, he would open the hood and get 2 apples out and we would have a snack. He quit in 1960, sold everything. As I grew up, I worked for all the neighbors, drove about every kind of tractor around. I started farming after college. When my oldest daughter was about 5 she rode in the cab of the 510 MF combining corn. I cleaned off the flat spot behind the seat and she put a blanket and toys up there and rode all day. Shell a load and then jump in the truck and haul to the river and dump and go back for another load. She would ride in the Oliver 2150 with me plowing. Now I take my grandson with me when he gets to come down and I'm using any of the tractors, he is 3 now. Correction; whenever he comes, he wants a tractor ride. As soon as he gets out of the car he heads for the machine shed to see the tractors and combine. Alway yells, bye tractor and combine when they leave. I think I have turned him into a tractor nut also. I prefer Olivers, but like them all. I have a JD 70, Farmall 400 and 2 Oliver 1850 diesels. If I had more money, I'd have more tractors. Some things you just have to do, This is mine. Chris
