Okay so this has been brought up more times then I can count. About how the tractors companies should re-introduce this model or that model from the past. But heres a different take on things. There are so many companies out there making reproduction parts for tractors. Granted some makes and models have a more complete selection of parts than others. Some models you could quite easily build a new tractor from reproduction parts. Having said that for you or me to buy the parts individualy would be quite cost prohibitive. BUT if said reproduction parts manufacturer was to package the parts as a "kit" the cost would come down greatly. There are some parts would have to have new tooling made for, no doubt. However I would think that making new tooling for a couple parts would be cheaper then designing a tractor from scratch. As a side income these reproduction parts could be sold to restore old tractors. Only issue might be copy rights or patents. Which make/model you "copy" how long ago it was produced and if the company still exists and/or who owns the rights to that brand would affect this more than anything. Looking at the Tilmore and Tuffbilt tractors. Although they claim to be a "copy" of a G they are so removed from it they are own thing. Looking at the parts catalogs for Ford N series in part got me thinking about this. Now granted there would be "Sticker shock" especialy if coming from a small manufacture. But as demand increased cost would go down. However it would be a niche market. And as such the "G" "Cub" and other tractors which cater to truck gardens would be a safer bet. One other thing such a company could do us make whatever "improvements" backwards compatable.

Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
