[AT] Tractor collecting question - wishing

[John Hall]

I got my copy of Heritage Iron out of the mailbox yesterday and noticed that 
next month they will feature a JD5020. We had two 4020's, one wide front and 
one tricycle. The tricycle is still here. The wide front (60 model) was sold 
in '91 when the "real" farming on our place ceased. It was the first big 
tractor I ever used for field work. I know of the fellow that bought it and 
might could track it down, but I don't need or have the funds to obtain it. 
This is strictly a case of  I want THAT tractor, not one that is identical 
to it.

If you want to get technical, you could say the 4020 doesn't count as there 
is already one here (although it is a different year model and configured 
differently !).  Then I am torn between an 8010/8020 Deere,  IH 806 
industrial, Mogul 45hp, or a 40-80 Avery. Each of those have some unique 
features that make them very eye-catching to me.
