[AT] How about Tractors.

[Gene Dotson]

    Sure Alan
    Most of my winter has been spent setting up my new shop.
Installed a new high efficiency LP furnace to keep it nice and
cozy. Installed 200 amp electrical service with all new wiring.
Installed my 6 HP air compressor and plumbed it throughout the
shop with copper pipe.
    Organizing storage has been one of the most difficult
projects. my shop was originally built as a sheep barn. It is
concrete block and measures 20' wide by 36' long. It is a hip
roof style barn with a hay loft. I insulated and paneled the
loft and this is storage for spare parts and supplies.
    Today I finished building my welding table and set up my
welding area. Finally have a comfortable area to do my welding
and metal work.
    last week I built a new butt buggy to pull behind the Case
lawn tractor for touring the tractor shows. It will be a real
leg saver at the pre-show gathering at Portland.
    Been using the little Case dozer to clear fence rows and
make trails in the woods before the ground thawed.
    This farm has really been a project and passion for the
past year and I am really proud of the progress I have made
here.
