Following a topic down on the N board. Is the hobby really dead as some suggest? I don't think so and offered an opinion. I think the range has narrowed as the number of people connected to agriculture has greatly declined over the past few decades. But the largest problem I see is that the income needed to support it is not there among a great number of younger people. Further, if somebody has the income they may not have a place to store or work on a tractor. Many fancy subdivisions have rule about what can be kept on a lot and there are rules as far as making noise and what can set in a driveway and for how long. Many who have moved off the farm after college watched the family sell off the farm so they have no place to take a tractor to or to work on. A personal if somewhat minor peeve is the elitism pushed by some collectors and it goes wwwwaaayyy past the 2 cylinder guys. When I worked at Central Tractor back in the 1990's some of the worst customers were the gray and red Ford owners. Which makes all the more surprising I bought an 860 around 20 years ago. I can still hear the sneer in my mind about one really nasty Ford owner and his Workmaster 6XX series.

The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
