It is what this site is all about if you ask me, and it is even more meaningful if it is a tractor that was handed down. My fondness for my FORD tractor (even though I bought it from a stranger), is that I am from the Detroit area, and my father and grandfather both worked a the nearby FORD Auto Plant in Metro Detroit. My father always wanted to get a Ford Tractor but never did, he died at the age of 43 with much of his money saved. He was always proud to work for that beautiful Blue Oval, but always concerned about the stinking unions forcing a strike, so he saved. Some how I just picture my dad on my 59 Workmaster and giggling while doing so.
