Cubber, In response to your post, You Don't get out of it. Not if you want to keep alive the memories of yesteryear. In the picture above, the old man on the left with the walking cane was crying when I snapped this photo during a local show. I spoke at length with him while he was standing by this tractor and as he reflecting back to a time when he got to drive one for the first time. He shared that these old tractors were far better than humans and a lot cheaper to work on to keep running. In his 90's, to him the person who restored this beauty was a hero! I guess it is all about perspective. To me, If I can help keep alive a memory from the past for someone then all the time, money, scraped knuckles, sore muscles, etc. are well worth it! Yes it may get old at times and we all know it takes money to do it. But, without us collectors/restorers this phase of American agriculture and the family farm scene will surely be lost forever.
