Bought a 1930 vintage John Deere and a older steam engine that is apart. They both run just as good as my Yale did.

Think about that JD running across yer purty new floor!

Do I see a new building in your future?

They just had the Delaware Valley Old Time Power Equipment show in our town this weekend. Lots of old John Deere and Farmall tractors. Some old jeeps and some old Mack trucks. They had a couple of JD tractors just like that one.

Then the local homeowner's association will complain.

Whack the top half off and use it as a barbecue pit. Okay, hinge the top half and use it as a smoker. Hey, how about using it as a watermelon cannon? Big fun for the kids!

Is that a flywheel on the left side of the john deer? If so; that is one seriously big A$$ flywheel
that’s just a little to close to your left leg for comfort.

I'm also into old tractors. My dad and I was at the Canfield Ohio Fair the day before that tractor blew up killing all those people. Our local club invited some members of a club up in that area last year and on the subject they said rivets and pieces of metal were stuck into buildings, cars and parking lots 1/2 mile away from the blast. (The owner let the water level get too low in the tractor that blew up btw)
I was at a show several weeks back and the 80 year old owner of a steam tractor was training a younger guy to run the tractor. The 80 year old was on the ground and the younger guy asked him which way to pull the leaver and the older guy said "I always forget myself-push it forward and see what happens" Needless to say I got out of there in a hurry.

Restored a 1941 Ford 9N several years ago. Made in October 28 1941. Sold it to buy acreage. Now have a 1957 New Holland Super Hayliner 68 baler I'm going to restore. Always stored with little rust. Very easy resto..and cheap too. I paid $350 for the baler and other than several new bearings, sandblast sand, few gallons of paint and new tires will have no other money involved.
