I've got a pair of them now and do enjoy them as a hobby, and it seems like you turn the clock back a little when you fire them up, not something you do everyday, but when you do, it's usually a lot of fun. It's kind of funny how time never stops, but when you bring back an old tractor, you capture the era.
