[Farmall] Re: AT Digest, Vol 21, Issue 20

[Troy Bogdan]

JM, and others,  I read in our newspaper recently that there was a survey 
done of all the old barns in our area, and most of them are either falling 
down or being knocked down.  They are being replaced by pole buildings, and 
the basis of the article was that if nothing is done soon, those old barns 
will mostly all be gone.  To me, that is sad.

I guess it's the same for old tractors.  If we weren't holding on to them, 
and fixing them up and keeping them going, they would be nearly extinct 
also.  I know I may be living in the past, but for me, it is my present.  I 
hope someone can use your lumber.  If I had a big truck and a trailer, and 
fuel priices weren't so high, I'd be interested.

Thanks,  Troy
