Hello all,
Down in IL visiting the family, and this morning I went out the door to get in the car and heard something from down on the road. Looked and saw a steady stream of old tractors going by. Jumped in the car and went down the 1/4 mile driveway to watch. Stood by the car and waved at just about every person. Saw a really nice black stripe 966 with ROPS and a big ole 5020 JD. Way too many nice tractors to list here. They were riding from Sublette, IL to Oregon, IL I guess. Oh, saw a local MM guy I used to know and he asked how I was as he motored by. Also, another driver said he'd trade his tractor for the horses at the end of the driveway. Being they were the neighbor's horses I gladly yelled ok and shot him a thumb's up. Pretty neat to watch a hundred or more antique tractors cruise on by.
Headed back to Minnesota tomorrow morning, been here since sunday. Hoping to stop and pick up a couple parts for my Case Model C in Wisconsin and visit Dave from MN, too. Gotta call him. Anyway, hope all is well!
