Thou shalt not store thy tractor out of doors, except for they modern iron. 2. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's tractors, nor his workshop, nor his tools. 3. Thou shalt not love thy tractor more than the wife & children or girlfriend; as much, but not more. 4. Thou shalt not read Antique Power on company time for thy employer makes it possible to continue thy tool payments. 5. Thou shalt not despise thy neighbour's Farmall, nor his Fordson, nor even his 2N on steel. 6. Thou shalt not allow thy daughters nor thy sons to get married during the holy days of the tractor shows. 7. Thou shalt not deceive thy wife into thinking that thou art taking her for a romantic Sunday drive when indeed, thou art going to look at another tractor. 8. Thou shalt not promise thy wife a new addition to the house then use it to store tractors. 9. Thou shalt not tell thy spouse the entire cost of the restoration, at least not at the same time. 10. Thou shalt not buy the wife a floor jack for Christmas. [Reply]   [No Email]

My '47 BN is in the garage. My '51 SuperC and '03 Ram sit outside. 2) Took some work in acquiring tools, but I got past that one and now my neighbor comes over here occasionally to work on his stuff. 3) They serve different purposes. One serves as comfort when the other one gets on my nerves. 4) N(ot) S(uitable) F(or) W(orkplace) - usually reserved for bawdy sites -- bosses need to be more understanding 5) Take it on it's merits. I don't care if it is some kind of Bolens/Iseki with a 2 cyl Isuzu diesel, it's geared right and it's a real hoss of a little tractor. It can be run slow enough to drag a tiller though the garden, something my Farmalls won't do. 6) I have no kids. Moot. 7) Bless me, she has an even sharper eye than I do for those things. 8) Unless you forget to close the door before you start the tractors just to keep the batteries up, or go to shootin' paint, I'm not sure I understand the problem. 9) Mine will buy ten times what we will ever use of a product on sale, figgerin' on ten times the savings. If it seems like she's catchin' on to what's goin' on in the tractor fund, I just remind her how much we're savin' by me doing the work myself. 10) This is not the place to tell you how grateful mine was when I got her a snow shovel to keep in the trunk of her car for the winter. If that's all it takes, I may be goin' to heaven.   [Reply]   [No Email]
