Ten years ago I moved away from my tractor buddy's my choice . I always had a place in my neighbors shop every winter to bend wrenches and have adult beverages . I moved and another guy wanted to work on his tractor that in the 80's he farmed with , a SC case . Long storie short they put on parts new tires and painted it . My neighbor and this guy used to work together and so built a strong friendship . Well ten years have passed and tractor owner got really sick and he passed on aug 3 . Neighbor called the other night and said the widow had text him to stop in she had something for him . He figured it was a carving or something he was good at . Turned out he gave him the tractor just as it was all ready to play . My buddy was vary humbled not something that is an easy task ! He said when he is ready we'll take it for a ride to the bar and get some pictures . In memory of Jim .
