I pretty much agree with "Les...fortunate". I really do enjoy the Classic Tractor shows, though until recently they had been repeating a bit too often. This fall, it's clear new material has been added to the rotation, especially Canadian material, which has helped respark my interest. Rather, I really never lost interest but have been dissapointed when I found tonight's show was a repeat from a few weeks ago. I usually still watch, though (unless it's a parade or pulling). The Tractor Calendar and equipment and collection profiles are my personal favorites... the parades and pulling are OK for a few minutes but become, ah, shall we say, repetitive. Personally, I think a good, honest, tractor restoration project that is done on a common brand/model, using tools, techniques and equipment, within a budget the common person might reasonaly have available would be great addition. Please though, DON'T follow the model of "This Old House" and do projects that are way beyond the average person's budget, skills or ability to duplicate. I simply wouldn't watch a pipe-dream like this. Note I'm also into vintage motorcycles, but I'm practial enough to realize this is relatively narrow interest-segment so I won't bother to suggest pursuing this arena (though it'd be great).

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
