Hey Stan, I was never a big fan of the Indians personally, although my tastes don't make the world spin either and the latter is a pretty good thing for the world. But a handful or so years ago I had to do some work in the new Harley shop on I-394 in Crete, IL. When I walked in was a maroon and tan Chief that I kid you not looked like it just came off of the assembly line. Was perfect and decked out. Beyond beautiful. I asked the shop guys what the story was on it, and they said that an old electrician traded it in as a down payment on a Road King cause he was gettin up there in years, the kicker knee was feeling it, so he went to a more comfortable riding electric start Road King. Used that Chief as a down payment??? Should've been the other way around. As I was leaving was this older fella, big guy standing there looking at it with the saddest face I'd seen in some time. I asked, "Sharp, isn't it?". He looked back at me and said, "I should've never traded it in" and just kept staring at it. I just walked away. What could I have possibly told him to make it better? For all I know, that thing's probably still there on display, and if it is and someone wants to buy it, I'm guessing it aint going for anywhere below the cost of a Road King...which I really don't care for, personally.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
