It is amazing how long this has dragged on and still nothing has changed. Some need to own original some do not it seems way too simple.

I'd love to hear about the tractors! We donated all of my grandfather's equipment from the early 1900s to the county farm museum years ago and I wished we would have have kept some of the implements I used growing up, including the plow I used behind our draft horses in the 60s in the vined tomatoes. You learn a lot walking behind a horse's ass all day.
I have a client who has kept 30+ old small tractors (Deeres, Olivers, Fords) running for his tree fruit operation due to their size...has a dedicated shop that keeps them in perfect order and freshly painted and polished.
