Between jobs right now, but for the last twelve years, I've been an administrator of charitable trusts. Kind of an od mix between fundraising and trusteeship. As for the tractors, I grew up summering on my grandftaher's farm, a Farmall and Oliver kind of place. While working in NYC, we had a weekend place, 40 acres in the Catskills with about 12 of them needing mowing, and the need to scrape snow in the winter. I found an old SuperC that needed an engine rebuild. Since coming to Maine ther isn't as much mowing (we're on just 2 acres now), but still a need to move snow, so I still do that with a back blade mounted to an aftermarket 3-point. Since being her, I've taken advantage of the time off to finish up the top-to-bottom restoration of the '47 BN my great-grandfather bought new. It's the tractor that I, my brother, and our cousins learned to drive on. The older of us in that group also have some fond memories of sitting on the left side listening to the old guy rattling off jingles he learned as a kid, as a way of passing the time while out cultivating beans. Our job was to hop off and pick up newfound rocks. That's my story.

The answer to our needs materialized in the form of a '44 Farmall A, complete with cultivators, discs, single plow, a 5ft.Woods belly mower and one, mounted spare 9.00x24 rear wheel.
