> I have been a member of this list since 04 or 05 (I think) just because of 
> and acquaintance and an interest in John Deere. 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.

> My name is Eric and this is my son Jacob (15).
> I personally don't own a JD or anything larger than my Huskee lawn mower 
> (I have a hard time calling it a lawn "tractor".
> However...........
> Since Jacob was 3'ish he has always received JD toys and knick-knacks for 
> birthdays and Christmas and any other time we saw something he didn't have 
> or thought he needed for his collection. 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.
> It may take a few days but I will get a page set up for pictures and stuff 
> so we can share.

> So here we are,,,
> Jacob--- 1943 "B"
> Eric--- What shade does envy come in? Hmmm..... I think I know!
