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 |
I feel sorry for me too if I have to deal with all your machinery!
