[AT] new line

[Mike]

I am still around, Richard. And I thank you and others for asking about 
me. Reading the Email and thinking about the tractors has kept my brain 
active and functioning.

While I am still (reasonably) sane and rational and in good physical 
health, the doctors won't allow me to drive or operate tractors (due to 
a seizure I suffered on July 4). So this limits my activities and my 
contributions to the ATIS discussion. I do, however, read EVERYTHING 
that comes through.

Because of my physical/mental limitations, I am going to have to get 
serious about selling off most if not all of my tractors over the next 
year or so. The first to go will be the non-runners and duplicates. But 
I would hope to hold off until at least the Spring, as the prices for 
any kind of machinery in the Fall and Winter are poor. On the other 
hand, some of my stuff is going to be a little hard to sell, no matter 
what the weather, so "no reasonable offer will be refused". You can see 
some of my "collection" at <http://public.fotki.com/mikesloane/>, The 
website owner suffered a hit during Hurricane Sandy this winter, so I 
need to re-post images that have somehow disappeared. But if anyone has 
questions about individual items, contact me off-list at 
<mikesloane at verizon.net), and I will get back to you and provide 
additional information and images. One of the first things I need to 
move out is the Ford 2N with two auxiliary transmissions - giving the 
equivalent of ten speeds froward and three in reverse. (The Bad News is 
that the freeze plugs popped because I was unable to drain the cooling 
system when the temperature dropped below freezing, so the tractor has 
to be treated as "ran when parked". The Good News is that everything 
else is in decent condition.) It is also going to be a real pain to dig 
out of my neighbor's barn when it comes time to remove it. (And I can't 
do much to help.)

Best wishes,

Mike
