Argh##!!,

Why is it that when you are searching fer an old tractor ya can't ever find one within a million miles of home and then, when you aren't looking, they are seemingly everywhere underfoot?

It's enouogh to give a guy white hair. (At least, that's the excuse I use anyway) :>)

Hey Allan, is because when you're lookin, you have tunnel vision, and when you aint, you aint got a care in the world.

Saw that written on a bathroom wall about a week ago. Told my Mom, "When you come to my house, no more writing on my bathroom wall, save it for the pool hall".

Allen, Man, I had white hair as white as a sheet since the day I was born. Now 2/3rd of it is gone and has just left about a half a ring around my head. I really would like some more to fill in the missing spots but would prefer to have the old tractors. Could you find me something else that would give me white hair? LOL

Hey! Got just the answer fer ya!

I know a long-legged blonde up in North Dakota that'll make your hair fall out and your blood pressure go thru the roof!

She's ruined more than one good man. I'm stickin' with the old tractors from now on! :>(

Hi Ol' Bud,

Just would like to have one more medium sized red-tinted tractor so I don't have to be kickin' the duals off and on all the time (gettin' too darned old).

Yepper, wife's horsey project is well under way; well driller coming next week to punch a new hole in the ground and she's got me slated fer some corral building. (Hate wrestlin' railroad ties)!

Oh sure, alfalfa is planted and up. :>)

tou could also look at it like this, when you need a parts tractor there is one for sal ein a different state, but your neighbor that has one won"t sale it, because it was grandpa"s, or they think it is worth more than a restored tractor

Mornin' Ryan,

I know; it's enough to make ya wanna switch over to that "other color". But then, if I did that all the neighbors would point and giggle.

Hey, wait a minute! They're already doin' that anyway. :>)
