Folks,
As the New York Times did several years ago, the Wall Street Journal
has finally acknowledged the world of tractor restoration. But this time we got
front page coverage. In the Jan 3, 2007 edition of the WSJ, there is a nice article
about Mr. Kristin Gall, a farmer from Ethel, Mo., who searched out and restored
his grandfather's Farmall 1206. It even has before and after photos of the
restoration and mentions a separate JD tractor resurrection and the Red Power
Roundup. In case you subscribe to the WSJ online, it can be found at

There is also a '57 picture of three Gall gents astride their new Farmall 450, and
the photo looked familiar. Perhaps I have seen it in a old Red Power or Antique
Tractor issue.
Now that Wall Street is on to us, it seems time to get the USPO to do a Classic
American Tractors sheet of stamps. They recently did a nice one on US motorcycles,
and they only have half the wheels and history. Do any of you know where to get such
a campaign started?
