[Steam-engine] (no subject)

[Best, Dianne]

Well now just a minute here guys!

I love steam and they were off the farm well before I was born! Not sure
exactly what drew me in but it wasn't seeing them in the field.

A couple of years ago I restored an antique crawler. That was a
psychological trauma because it is younger than I am - LOL!

People collect what they grew up with.  This means that the most popular
tractors right now are made in the mid to late 50's.  You go to any show
and
most of the tractors were made in that timeframe.   I also prefer the
older
tractors but there just isn't enough interest in that to support a steel
wheel only show.  I personally don't think it is an antique unless it
was made before 1939.  Mt. Pleasant has the most older tractors of any
show I have been to and even they just changed the rules to allow
anything older than 50 years old.  That is 1957!
