I grew up on a farm that was a veritble museum, although we didn't think of it as one at the time. Only a few are still there now. All of them were row-crops. I have my grandfather's tractor ('35 JD B)and have kept it the way he farmed with it. I also have his oldest brother's tractor ('23 Fordson). We had Deeres, Cases, and Molines. No Farmalls on the farm until I was away in college. My dad's uncle retired and sold us his 350LP with this fancy shift lever called Torque Amplifier on it. That thing was fun...and fast!

I traded a cutting of hay for a neighbor's '46 Farmall H and have been hooked. I bought a parts tractor for the H and ended up resurrecting it first. I now have a third H to fix up the first one with.

What I look for is a model that I've wanted for a while. I gravitate to the older, simpler machines. When I was 10 years old, we had the now famous '72 John Deere calendar on the wall of the kitchen. There was just something about that old D. Well, two months ago it became a reality. Now I'm not suggesting you wait 27 years to make a purchase but I think it should be more than a passing fancy.
