Thanks for the replies. I'll give him a call in the morning and arange to check it out (if he still has it.) The ad reads as follows: %%B"International 574, 52 hp, diesel with orchard fenders, 80% rubber, $2995;"%%B My plan (for whatever tractor I purchase) is to go over it and make repairs, work on the apearance a bit and use it around my orchard and adjoing open field space. Need to keep the weeds down, maybe pull a few small stumps, etc. It's just one acre with a house on it. Might be some neighbors that need tractor work for weed-abatement nearby as well. I have a cousin in Salem, Oregon that used to own 300 acres planted in wheat and ryegrass. Ran his tractor there a couple summers in my teens. Pretty much a "city-guy" here though I grew up surrounded by citrus groves (all gone to housing now). Two years of high-school auto-shop, classes in welding at community-college, worked plant-maintainence in an Aerspace Forge-Shop and in an Engineering Office before I went back to college for a Bussiness Admin degree. Over the years I've rebuilt several automotive engines, transmissions (practically everything else on a car / light-truck), light fabrication and machine-shop work, built an 11-second drag-race car, two V-8 CJ-5 Jeeps, airplane-engine repairs (while working toward an FAA Airframe / Powerplant Cert) and nearly have my FAA Commercial-Pilot Certificate with 400-Hours total Flight-time (checkride-prep) and working toward a Flight-Instructor certificate too. I have accumulated a fair number of tools, big two-Stage Compressor (lots of pneumatic tools,) Gas, Stick and MIG Welding-Equipment, shop press, small lathe and mill, etc... Still, this will be a new challenge for me and I'm sure I'll need some good advice from you guys in the future. Thanks Again, Derek C.

Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this
