If interested; get your family involved... Back in 1978, I bought a WD45 which I still have.. My oldest son was 1 1/2 years old at the time..

Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
