I finally got time to go to a old fellows house last night that I met last year. I knew he had some nice restorations from seeing him at some shows. Tractors you don't see everyday. So we started looking at a barn next to his house and when he opened the door it was like the PEARLY GATES opening. There was probably 14 tractors in this barn all painted and restored. Tractors from Cockshut diesels to CO-OP's to a awsome 830 JD. We looked there for a good while and he started trying to get me out of the barn. I didn't know why, but I walked out and he closed the door. I told him I thought he had a very nice collection and thanked him for showing me. He kind of chuckled and said that's not all. To make a long story from being longer, by the time the evening was over he had showed me 73 tractors all in perfect running order. Along with 4 old IHC trucks that were fromt the 20's and 30's that were completely restored. He had tractors that I have never seen before like a unstyled JD G. A CO-OP 1,2,and 3. 3 old Avery tractors that I have never saw those models of. He had a BF Moline. It looked just like one of the Averies, but it was yellow for when MM bought them out. Three that stick in my mind the most is a Oliver 88 on steel rears "he said they call them tip toe wheels", a Allis-Chalmers WC on full steel, and a JD Spoker D. Soory to be so long just thought it was very intresting. Bill {Antique Acres}
