Sometimes as I read these posts I wonder why some guys bother to resore old tractors,. Some seem to take pleasure in having 10-20 etc of them so they can say I have this and that. I started because I wanted to regain a little of my heritage going back to the 30's 40 's when I consider all the good times I had on the farm. Last saturday I founf the real reason---I bbuilt a float and the kids from the church decoated it and rode behind my 51 M thowing out little cross and fish keychains. The kids had a ball doing something for Christ and enjoying the fellowship of other including manu adults. Now I know why I did it. Needto do another so the kids can take turns riding on it.

There's a guy around here that bought an old 50's model fire truck for cheap. Him and his wife decorate it every year with lights and such and carry it all over the counrtyside during the holidays. Alotta fun even for a big kid like myself when you hear the that old siren blowing down the road on a cold night and spot that thing coming. If i don't talk to you again Merry Christmas!!

I did a hay ride yesterday and used a big inverter and car battery to power some 120v lamps on the trailer.. worked out great not having the whine of a gas generator running while the carollers were singing.
