[Farmall] Farmall Baby + a Red & Green Wedding

[Troy Bogdan]

Bill in N.E.TX sent me this e-mail, and I sent him the photos privately,
off-the-list, but I thought his statement was funny and I added some more
funny to it (at least IMHO).  I thought you would enjoy reading it.

Hi Bill,
That's a good story, where you born in Chicago also?  I think that's where
the Farmall factory was located.  My two tractors are old enough to be my
parents, although the Deere (53') married an older Farmall (45')!!  Hahaha
;-)

Thanks for helping, Happy New Year
Troy
