First tractor I ever bought was an 8N from the guy who did our hay the year we bought our first farm- 1972. I think he still owed money on it, but am still waiting to hear from his creditor.

To this day, it's some of the best stories I've ever heard. And now, I'm so glad that I asked those questions, and if I were a little smarter i
