[AT] Nice outcome for the 620

[Dean Vinson]

In the department of things working out alright, here's a nice story.   I've
mentioned recently that I've been thinking of selling my John Deere 620, and
yesterday decided to go ahead and list it for sale on Facebook Marketplace.
A guy contacted me pretty much right away, and we arranged for him to come
see it this morning.   He and his dad came out, liked the tractor, and we
settled the deal and they took it home.   Nice folks, farm quite a bit of
land a little ways north of here, and have quite a few antique tractors for
fun.



As they were leaving the young guy mentioned that every summer they partner
with a local tractor dealership to host an antique tractor show, and invited
me to come see the 620 again at this year's show.   Sounds good to me.   I
just now tried a Google search to see if I could find any information about
the show, and found this video on YouTube:

What they didn't know at the time was that a barn fire a year later would
result in the loss of their 620 and several of their other old tractors.   A
couple of years having now passed since the fire, the young guy decided to
look for a good 620 to replace the one they'd lost, in memory of his
grandfather. and I came along at the right time.



So I'm down to three tractors now, but feel especially good about the 620
having gone to a good home.   It's a solid old beast and served me well for
the 10 years I owned it, and the original owner for the 56 years before
that.   Before putting it up for sale I lined it up with the other tractors
just for fun.
