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?

New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
