Mornin'

You guys are writing up some good reading here and you seem to have the same attitude that I have.

I just bought an old girl that had one brand new front tire and a freshily overhauled engine, but she was obviously quite tired after some 7032 hours of very hard work.

But, there was just something about the look of this old sister that made me want to own her.

I'm in the process of putting on 3 more new tires & tubes, completely going thru the rest of the drive train, all new fluids & filters, new voltage regulator, a new seat and then I will paint/decal her.

Sure, I'm throwin' a bucketful of money at it, but when it is all said and done, I still won't have half of her original cost invested.

I think Matt hit on the right word: respect.

It makes me feel good to give this old tractor her youth back and to restore her to what she once was.

And if I should happen to ask her to pull another 7000 hours, she'll do it and she'll do it well.

These old tractors just make me feel good inside.
