[AT] Good tractor Spring

[David Bruce]

I now have 3 of my 5 tractors running.  They are (in order of my 
preferance) an Allis D-14, a MF 35 deluxe diesel and a John Deere 2010 
Diesel (wheeled tractor).  The D-14 was my Grandpa's and was the tractor 
I learned to drive on (literally - my first experience was in the 
tobacco field pulling a tobacco sled - I was 7 at the time) and it will 
always be my favorite. I love the sound of a well tuned Allis.  The MF35 
I've had for about 15 years and this year I had the injector pump 
rebilt. This is my favorite mowing tractor (I use a 72" Sitrex rear 
discharge grooming mower with it) and I do any other pto work I have to 
do with this tractor.  The John Deere I bought about 5 years ago mainly 
because it had a loader with it.  The engine has been totally rebilt 
(ouch) and I just finished replacing all the hydraulic hoses on the 
loader this Spring.  It has a bit of a problem with the pto clutch 
sticking but since I do all the pto work with the MF right now it isn't 
on the priority list.  Anyway they run and I really enjoy riding around 
on them and pretending I'm doing serious work.  Having them going is a 
good thing, as I heard somewhere.  Now I just need to finish the rebild 
of the Massey Ferguson TO-30 and do some work on my WheelHorse. <sigh>
