How about a tractor just for letting kid climb on? Take the key out (it does have a keyed Ignition, right?). Post a sign that it is ok with parental supervision. Remember 20 years from now these kids will be buying your old iron and telling stories to their kids. My kids were interested in going with me 5-10 years ago, they refuse now, there is nothing for them to "do". I go by myself. 40 years ago when I was a kid, the craze was collecting brass fords, model "T" etc. Now no one does, or not to the extent that I remember. When our generation is gone who will want to collect old hit and misses, 8n's, know how to make a JD pony sit and bark or trouble shoot a magneto? I can still identify a MH44, MM, Ford 8xx blind folded because I was around then a good many hours or helped someone who did. I get to stoke the memory fire once or twice a year at a show. It was not enough exposure for my kids, and perhaps it is too lacking in sizzle and pop compared to TV, internet, Disney etc.
