: I must say, I found this tractor page about a week ago and I appreciate all of you who answered my questions and cut up with me about aliens and Elvis and stuff. What a great group! No matter if your Green or Red or Blue or even David Brown.
: Gotta say Hi to Shorty Dear.
: I have heard some people say in the past that Tractor people dont get along with people who collect old engines and visa versa. Not nessessarily that they hate them, Just that they keep to them selves and dont associate with the others much. Ive heard this from several people over the years. Please post and tell the world if this is true or not. Give your honest opinion and any other feedback. I think a lot of people need to know. Thank you all very much. Rob Rietman

I live in Maine, and have found that there are "JERK'S" everywhere you go! They are the few that you hear about, but never hear about the good folks which most of us are! I have met a few folks who think Tractor people are better, and look down on the small engine collectors! I myself am a Tractor person, but we all, "Antique engine and Tractor people" are basiclly the same! We love restoring and showing off our hobbies, are proud of our work, and very friendly in general,...The exception is..."Them JERK'S", I just don't bother with them! Don't let anyone sway your opinion of a group, only of that individual!
