Welcome to the group, I'm sure both of you will enjoy the "B". A new

Over the past several years I have enjoyed reading about experiences (both good and bad) of list members.  I have looked multiple times (usually in envy) at the picture links submitted by members. And I have silently offered my condolences when messages of list members and friends of the antique tractor family have passed.

His room is painted appropriately and has JD farm scenery trim around it. If it weren't for the darn cats knocking the occasional item off a shelf or dresser, everything he has ever gotten would still be in pristine condition (most of it still is, even with the cats).
> Well, to make a long story short..... Yesterday, June 7th he and I embarked on a 1000 mile 18 hour round trip to pick up a 1943 B that he bought on e-bay. The gentleman that he bought it from was gracious enough to give Jacob a 5 minute crash course on driving it since neither one of us had a clue. And he was also kind enough to drive it onto the trailer for us. It's home we're exhausted and I'm sure we will be using the collective brain power of the list in the future. He already has his sights on his next prized possession.
