[AT] Not really an antique

[Dean Vinson]

25 years ago I bought a 1965 gas-burning 3020.  Didn't know hardly anything
about them, or about that series of tractors in general, but it had a shiny
coat of paint on it and I was at a place in life where it felt important to
buy a tractor.   I sold it a few years later, having learned a few thousand
dollars' worth of lessons about the problems those tractors can have.



In recent months I've again felt the desire to buy a tractor, and yesterday
I became the third owner of this 1967 gas-burning 3020.   It's got a few
issues for me to tinker with, but it's about as clean and original as one
could ask for-with only a little over 3200 hours on the original working
tach.   I think and hope I'm a bit wiser of a buyer than I was 25 years ago,
but the coming years will tell the tale.   In the meantime, dang, it's fun
to have a new toy!



(Or to be precise, to have a new toy picked out and paid for. I still have
to arrange for it to be hauled about 200 miles from where it sits to my
place.  All things in time.  :)
