[AT] Was Texas now "alternative" brand tractors

[Tyler Juranek]

Hi Mike,
Holy crap! If you don't put fluids in the transmision, fuel tanks,
etc, then a person might think the engine is a pile of shit!
I wonder how many people that choose to have no fluids in the tractors
at the shows get asked, "Hey sir, that's a real nice two cylinder Jd
ya got there. Can I hear it run?"
I'll admit, my 36 JD A has a few oil leaks and stuff, and I've flooded
the cediment bowl many times, but it is a nice old Johny popper. And
beings it was my Great Grandfathers, I just choose to keep it around,
and keep it in the family.
I had a guy walk into my father's shed, and look at the A and offer me
$5000 for it. "I'm not gunna sell it!"
Sorry if this message sounds like a rant, but I don't want it to be
interpreted that way. Just trying to make a point that the traylor
quiens aren't worth much in my opinion. When I go to a tractor show, I
want to hear those suckers run!
What do others think?
Take Care,
Tyler Juranek
