Sorry guys but I have to vent alittle steam. The other evening I drove out of state 3 1/2 hours to look at a tractor. I'm not going to use any peoples names or brands here. The ad had basically said museum and flawless restoration. Also it was suppose to be a very rare model. NOT!!! What a waste of time. This person uses this site alot and I hope I'm the only one that he has disappointed. Some of you guys { a small few} need to look the word restored up in the dictionary or atleast understand it. It doesn't mean jumping on the tractor and drive by a couple of your friends using spray cans to paint it as it goes by. Some --not all-- of you auctioneers need to do a better job of NOT stretching the truth also. I don't know how many auctions I've been to that the sale bill said: completely restored-or mint-or expo. Understand what these words mean please. Look at tractors that are truly restored like: Gary Ukens, Dan Peterman, or Duane Ver Ploeg here from Iowa--then you'll see what I mean. One other thing: Try and get some history on these tractors before you sell them. Don't say one owner and then have NO idea who owned it. I have written and signed documentation as to previous owners on all my expo tractors. I would think the value of those tractors would be greatly improved because of this. I'm sure I'm going to take some heat from someone about this but this is the way I see it. I feel better now.

At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
