Back in 1994 I bought my first tractor which I did restore. Found tractor clubs to join and tractor show to go to. Did not know it but I got my dad hooked in 1998. He got me busy in restoring the tractor which we bought and shown. To make this story short I went to Bishop to see my dad this last weekend we went to the tractor show in Nevada. Friday we brought the John Deere G up and then Saturday we went up for the show. As we where coming home he was like always asking about the tractors we had and wanted to know where I was on them. This time he just could not understand that I stop on them because I was mostly up at his place helping him (which meant I did not have time to work on them). Before I knew it he had just past away right there in the truck coming home from the tractor show. When I shown up yesterday and picked up the J.D. I told them that my dad would not have had it any other way. I knew that If had got up before me at three am and came in asked why I was not ready to go? So there are one thing I have to say is I know a real farmer. Grew up with on around my Dad. He was 86 years old but still a busy person and some time the word NO meant maybe. Now I get wait and see what my old brother and older sister have to say. I started my dad with a 1948 Farmall Cub he now has got threw the years three other tractor and each one was used and enjoyed by him. Classic tractor is like Classic cars they are a real joy town.
