Does anyone else here mess with old tractors?

If you are into old tractors, you should read any (or better, all) of Roger Welsch's books.

It's like VGG for tractors in book form. 

I went to a farm show last summer in Decatur, Illinois. I appreciate what these farmers restored.  
 

the family on the red sign had 6-8 tractors on display

Minneapolis Moline made an art deco tractor in the 30s that's beautiful as far as tractors go.

I went to a thresher show last summer, there were four or five Minneapolis-Moline UDLX's there both with and without cabs.  Here are a few of them.

One of the YouTube channels I watch is a Minnesota guy who restores tractors.  His main thing is old Caterpillars but he's also done a couple Farmalls, including an H and a Super M.  He also has a couple factory prototype Minneapolis-Molines - back in the day, the M-M factory would sell them to employees when they were done with them.  He's very meticulous and goes through everything step by step, it's pretty interesting.  Look for Squatch253 on YouTube.

When I was a teenager, a guy my dad worked for had married a woman who was (allegedly) a former model.

She made sure to tell everyone that she was a former model.

When I was introduced to her she said "I used to be a model you know!"

Her husband promptly added "For Massey Ferguson!".

Oldest we have currently is a 1989 White 120, but I do love seeing the older stuff. 

In reply to WOW Really Paul? :

Those Whites are good looking tractors. 

Almost as good as the Case 970

The only thing that sucks about it is the engine, the Cummins 6bt isn't stout enough to be worked hard day in & day out.
