I must agree with you Dean. I see it at the attendance at tractor shows as well. It seems that only the parts I am looking for that still bring a higher price than I am willing to spend. Most people today are looking for a compact tractor with all the bells & whistles & with the proper attachments will get the done. Many today panic if they see points & condenser inside a distributor. We all fell in love with what we grew up on, or a bigger model the neighbor had that we could not afford on our farm but had the chance to run it a few times. I grew up on 42 B 46 John Deere A & a 48 A, later a 730 & a 630. Today the 730 & 630 are still being used on the farm , We've added 2 60's another 730 diesel 620 & a 530 , M John Deere & I've been piecing a 44 John Deere A back together for the past 7 years that No One on earth will ever give me back what I have in it, but it is now a running use full tractor & runs perfect, after way too much work & I don't have it completely done? Yes we have new'er 4wd Deeres with cabs & A/C on the farm, but it is still a joy to me to run an Old 2 cylinder in the open air to do farm work. I have always said I won't own a tractor to look at, I've restored the 630 , the 42 B & the 620 but if you use them they will not stay restored, all 3 really look good but can't be compared to some of the show pieces we see at shows. My Son could care less about any tractor, my girls wouldn't know the 1st thing about one. I figure I am a dyeing breed when I comes to tractors.
I've been to show's where the owner when asked a question about his tractor will climb up on it, put on his leather gloves just to start the restored tractor, that alone tells me this machine hasn't done a days work since it was finished. I have a friend who owns Deere's that are covered up all the time with a Sheet clear coated and waxed & when I think mine are clean & look good he feels they are filthy. It seems every year I am called to do something to one of his to get it running, sometimes it's just running a 5 dollar bill threw the points. Granted I still wash & wax the hoods & grills of our own & to most they feel that is a waste. The last 3 show's in our area I've been too have been slim on tractors & people....

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
