The w6 was an old man down the road. Mom would take us over there when we were young and he would tell us stories. I can't remember the stories but I always liked to listen to him. He was a farmer / logger. Later on another neighbor got it. He was my first boss. Taught me alot over the years. He was the guy that could fix anything and would help anyone. The tractor was parked for a long time and I asked him several times if he wanted to get rid of it. Well one day he just gave it to me. He had quite the junkyard and usually if I needed something he had something that would work and give it to me.
The TD6 belonged to a friend of a friend. He bought the dozer to clear some ground to build a house on the back side of a lake. The only way into the house was by boat. When he sold the house he told my friend he could have it if he got it out. It had not ran for several years and none of us knew anything about starting a TD6. I loaded up the truck and me and dad started out on the 100 mile journey. Then we loaded up the boat with everything we thought we might need and took off across the lake. It took us several hours to get it started. I actually got it running pretty easily after everyone else boated to the store after more supplies. Anyway it ran kinda so another one of my friends who was crazier than me and a better operator drove it out up the steep grade with one turning brake to the logging road. It was touch and go a few times. Didn't think he was going to make it but he didn't give up. Anyway when he got to the road we split ways. He went down the road and we went back to the boat and started or way back. It was probably over 30 miles. It was getting dark when we met on the logging road but we got it loaded and me and dad started home. That was my last journey with dad and close to the last one with the dozer driver as neither is with me any more. The owner of the w6 and the fellow that gave it to me are not either. That is a long story and that is the short version.

Today's Featured Article - A City Guy's First Tractor - by Fred Hambrecht. After living in apartments in Atlanta for more years than I care to remember, the wife and I decided to move to the country. Humming "Green Acres is the place for me..." we purchased a 29 acre tract about 60 miles south of Atlanta. Next came the house, I could talk about that ordeal for another two weeks... But, I want to talk about my tractor! We didn't even own a lawnmower, and all of a sudden we had enough grass to feed all the starving children of the bovine world. Naturally, I talked
