Do you ever find yourself driving around and always looking when there is a tractor working in the field or parked? ARe you always looking for tractors on the side of the road and if they are for sale? I look at every farm and search for tractors. I know every model tractor that the farmers around me own. Is that weird. I just sold my Farmall M to my father after much thought about it. Selling it to my pops was the best way to keep it and sell it you know. I'll still get to work on it with him. I don't exactly know why I sold it, but now I'm looking for another tractor. One with a little more power then the M. One with a 3 pt or one with hydraulics that worked. The farmer down the road from me has roughly 4 tractors. He doens't farm much. He has a few cattle and I think he hays. He only uses this one tractor he just got. I think it's a white. HE used to have an international that dissappeared. Now i see it again in teh field. It's a 1486 just sitting there waiting to work again. Next to a john deere 1010 or maybe bigger. I don't know if its his or not. In his tractor shed he's got a pretty large oliver. A 1550 i think. Then you move over to teh next space and parked is a box scraper and hay rake or something. Then there is the big old WHITE. Then a back hoe. Then another piece of equipment. Behind the equipment though peeking out is a little oliver grill a muffler and two wheels. I just noticed it. He doesn't use many of his tractors. I'm curious about if he would sell the little oliver or any other ones. He must be around 80 and still gets up everyday and drives down the road to his barn. He mows with a big woods batwing on the back of the white. I'm curious. Should I just go up to him and start talking to him or maybe write him a letter? What do you guys think?

Jamie, I think, if memory serves me that you are a young strapping teenager. In need of work for weekend and Date money. Go visit with him, see if he needs help. Driving tractor, working cattle, fixing fence. Strike common ground, in your conversation find out when and where these tractors are usesd if any at all. See if there are any he would part with.
Sometimes showing an intrest in in an older persons could get you foot in the door.
(I know a man who he and his dad help an old timer out for many years, took little to no pay, he had no kin-folks. Anyway when the old man died, he left a 2000 acre ranch to Him and his Dad)
Not to say or put ideas in you head. Just be a good neighbor.
Being that he is close you won't be a a lot in getting too and from work.
Tell him of you love for old tractors and stuff, and if he ever does get get rid of anything you would like a shot at it.
Good Luck,
Later,
John A.

...we don't know if that gentleman has been praying for someone to come along & help him with things he knows he can no longer manage... my Hubby hates to ask his son to drive several miles to come help him, but sometimes just has to due to not being able to lift & hold heavy objects like he used to. This may be a great friendship just waiting to happen, that may change your life forever. Always remember the Golden Rule - your goodness always is rewarded, Son. Dee
