After finishing a 2 yr resto of my 60,decided it would be fun to drive it to filling station on a busy road a couple of miles from home.Forgetting the only suspension is air in tires hit a rut,thought for a minute my spine was crushed.Pulled into filling station,WOW! what a rush,the tractor was surrounded by people wanting to look, touch,ask questions.Felt like a rock star.People today are not used to seeing things like that anymore.Maybe I will put a roof,radio,and late model seat on my pride and joy and start taking her to work.What do you think?

Makes all that hard work worth it. When somebody recognises the time and effort you put into it!

you can just enjoy setting your tractor out in your front yard and watching people slowing down and looking, unless you have a neighbor like mine. he's my first cousins son and every time i set my tractor out on a pretty sunday afternoon, he catches my back turn and puts a for sale sign on it. truth.

After I got my 2 A’s done I was hauling them both to my Grandpas house for him to see them (they are his old tractors). I stopped at the local country store and one guy followed me in and got out and started asking all kinds of questions. The next day Grandpa said he was at the local senior’s center and there were two older guys there talking about seeing two brand new John Deeres going down the highway. Apparently they were arguing about whether are not they were A’s. Grandpa said they were also discussing how good it was to see that John Deere had started making the A again. Obviously they didn’t get a close look because my resto work is far from perfect but it still made me feel good. The best part is how much Grandpa enjoys telling the story.
I live in a fancy subdivision and I’m bad to get on one of the poppers and ride around. I think most of the folks either like it or don’t pay any attention but I like to see the curtains fly open on the houses that have little kids as I putt by. Aint nothing worse than fixing up an old tractor then hiding it in the back of a shed, get them out and show them off.

Hey John, how much does your cousin want for your old B????
Better not let me drive by when the for sale sign is on it!

streve, don't you realize that there is a lot of comedians out of work and here you are trying to be funny!
