The top ten reasons why the judges wouldn't let you participate in the stock antique tractor pull:

  • Hey, this is stock! It came with that V8 in it!
  • That "R" on my tires stands for "really old" not radial!
  • Blue gas? We thought it was a pretty color!
  • What wire hooked to my throttle?
  • I always carry 100# weights in my pockets, really!
  • This 1930 tractor came with 150 horsepower!
  • Oh! That word "turbo" on my hood? It means Tractor Users Really Bring Observers".
  • Yes, that is a truck carburetor.
  • Yes sir, John Deere always did put dual exhaust stacks on their "LA Tractors".
  • It's a fire extinguisher-not a nitro tank!

Early Retirement

For me, I always said "when I get old and retire, Ill take a tractor to the fair and sit and talk to the other enthusiasts about the old days and the Old Iron!"

Well, Im not "that" old yet, but it seems I have stepped up this aging thing in my mind You see what I have done is Ive acquired more tractors to show, in the anticipation of the aging getting closer (guys, this gives you a good excuse as to why you bought another tractor).

I'm also looking for a bigger trailer to haul my tractors on, and Ive bought a special "reclining lawn chair" to be comfy while I talk To other tractor people.

And last but not least I have also applied for an "easy access parking spot" at all the local fair grounds so I won't have to walk so far to the tractors! (I just can't understand why no one has sent me my permits yet, I'm still waiting.)

But I guess in my mind I realized, you don't have to be old or retired to love these old tractors, you can be any age!!

But this doesn't mean Im giving up my reclining lawn chair!!!!
