These things just FIND me...


Most of you out there who really KNOW me, are pretty aware that I will always have more stuff than I need.  About a year ago, I wanted a tractor.  I am not sure why, but for 200 bucks, I bought one.  Guy said it had not run in many moons, and looked like it too.  I took that as a challenge, added another 200 bucks, long story short, it runs very well.  I have a sickness that I am not sure there is an actual cure for.....  I love my wife to death, but I hate to think of what would happen to all my treasures, if she is left to deal with them.  Don't mis-understand, she is a sharp cookie when it comes to the average antique.  However it seems, that nothing I have is what could be categorized as average.  I hardly ever spend any actual "MONEY" on this stuff, or on the rare occasion, very little.  Most of the time, I tend to recover my initial investment on 10% of what I bought and still have 90% left.  By most economic standards, this sounds like a booming business.  I am not complaining about that part, in the least.  Here is the problem...  The items in question are getting bigger and way cheaper....  While I have no photos of my particular aquisition, this will give you an idea..  Anybody wanna buy a 46 Allis Chalmbers tractor???  cheap....






I realy like this one.  Not the flames so much, as the bed
