Hello everyone!
Wanted to introduce myself on this site, my screen name is Big 86 but my real name is Les. I live on my family's farm in Western IL, have one tractor so far but plan to have more someday. Tractor is a Ford with red paint, truck is a green Chevy. :) Always Lived in IL, farming and tractors are a big part of my life, not currently a farmer but hope one day to farm my own ground. Right now I am just a wannabee. :wink:
I wanted my handle to be farm related, so I picked Big 86. The first tractor I rode in was a JD 8640, and since I was only a few years old at the time that thing was a big tractor to me. Dad usually called it the "86", and I called it the "Big 86". So that is why I picked Big 86, the first tractor I rode in. Lots of memories riding around in that tractor, from field cultivating, moldboard plowing, and chisel plowing always enjoyed the ride.
Okay, that's a little about me. I look forward to being a part of this site, always something to learn about tractors. Have a nice evening!

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
