I appreciate anyone who shares an old tractor with folks who don't have one, and respect their motives, whatever they are.
From a little different angle on the word, I can appreciate the work folks put into restoring, to whatever level, any piece of old iron. I know the enjoyment from working on them. In the last ten year, I've redisovered the satisfaction of tearing down and rebuilding an engine, something I hadn't known since I tore down my '64 Beetle, applying (then and now) what I'd learned from helping Grandpa work on his Farmalls and the Wisconsin on his baler.

And his old rusty hitch pin.
