There is alot of 'stress' about keeping/returning things to "factory".Most if not all tractors were modified in some way or another.This variety keeps things interesting.I have noticed at tractor shows people walk down the line of tractors(show queens) and look but not stop.Then comes a 'oddball'.Homemade;rusty,ugly,modified.....People stop,look,point,crawl under/around,talk to each other about it....I rather prefer the odditys.About all the fancy show queens say is "look at me";"I have lots of money/talent...".The tractors/equipment that is 'personalized' are more 'real'.Back when things were new folks didnt have money to just go out and "buy"(like they do today)The tractor provided their liveing.They made it do what they needed to do,some times 'modifying' it in the prosess.When it broke down,they fixed as best they could to keep going.They didnt care if it was "original" or not.It just had to work! Keep ing the implements is also important,they give the tractor a meaning.People today dont know what a tractor was meant to do-work.I recently heard a young woman tell her children it was a "farm car"....I used the opportunity to (hopefully)educate them a little.I could go on...this is a 'sore spot",Important to me....Steve
