rla 07-27-2012 07:47:23 162.39.22.109 Report to Moderator	I bought a John Deere A Last night for my Wife. Needless to say she's not all impressed... Since she doesn't want it, I guess I'll Claim it.. This tractor went through the Tornado's we had in NW Pa. in 1985.. So it's hasn't turned over since then. Picked up & Upset & I didn't want to see it get crushed.. NO TAG...Styled, 6 speed hand crank. All Fuel, Normal PTO, Cast steel frt Frame, Not the Heavey angle Iron type Roller Drawbar & Small Radiator cap ... I am thinking 1943 Maybe?? I've got to haul it home yet. [Reply]   [No Email]

He also told me never line them all up in the yard that's when she will catch on. Lucky for me mine likes the old two cylinders.. [Reply]  [No Email]

I need to shop more often at harbor freight for gifts... [Reply]  [No Email]

She actually like them! I have tried the tractor route but keep getting shot down. Same goes for a bulldozer. Darn! [Reply]  [No Email]

My wife keeps asking me when I am going to find her a tractor she fits on. Problem is there she want one that is easy to get on and get off and is small enough for her to drive but big enough so she can rake hay with it and so far I have not found one like that in my price range. I would love to find say an AC G or an Oliver Super 44 but both are way out of my ball park unless you start buying a lot more 60 parts LOL [Reply]  [No Email]

Maybe that will do the trick. This post was edited by F-I-T at 08:32:50 07/27/12. [Reply]  [No Email]

So I have a scape goat.. I really doudt if this thing will ever run, but then again If I find a donor machine maybe... The only reason I went to look at it was the owner told me it was a cyclone model he thought?? Well it wasn"t... Then I couldn"t pass up on the Price... [Reply]  [No Email]
