I don't know if I count as a collector or not ,but I will add my .2¢. we are in our 40's with 2 boys left at home. We bought a Ford 640 a few years ago because it came with a bushhog and was affordable. It took 2 weeks to get bit BAD by the bug!! So we got another tractor, a Ford 960. Then a week later a 9n, which we sold soon after for a small profit. Same year we bought an Alice Chalmers CA with 6 pieces of original equipment. Sold it 6 months later for a nice profit. It hadn't moved for 12- 13 years and was headed to Scrapyard,so I feel like we saved one. About a year ago we drove 800 miles round-trip to KY to buy our son a Cub. He wanted it for his 14th birthday. Then we traded an old truck for a second cub , which we sold to a guy that wanted to restore it. Saved another one! Bought a 2nd 640 ,fixed a few issues and sold it. So we have 3 that we use and haul to shows,with implements,and dirt! Our 12 year old is begging for his own tractor. I didn't grow up around em and my dad didn't farm, his dad worked as a contractor on air Force bases. Never know who is going to get in to old tractors. The old guys at our 1st show were awesome and loved the fact that my wife was willing to get her hands dirty and work on old tractors. This site also had saved our butts a few times and helped us many times, many thanks to everyone who shares here! Kevin in Central AL

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana. ... [Read Article]
