you are dead on. I have lurked on the list for a long time
but almost never comment. I do have twenty or so old
tractors; several still being used, some just longing for
someone to start them up; and a few waiting for a little
love. But the snarky comments by others on the list isn't
worth the hustle. I am hear to learn some of the tricks of
restoring, not to be blown up.<br>

Spencer, I have noticed this trend for some time now; no one
on the list is restoring old tractors, or if they are, they
don't need any help. I used to love reading stories about
members running into issues, and the list trying to help out,
especially since you added the ability to share pictures.
It's been some time since someone has had an issue they needed
help with regarding an old tractor. Sadly we've lost a number
of very knowledgeable members over the past few years due to
old age or declining health. I've been on this list for 20
some odd years now, and I'm afraid that we've also lost some
members due to a change in atmosphere and tone where every
suggestion is belittled by those who feel they are of superior
intellect. I hope that will turn around, and the list can be
re-infused with new blood. I have to admit I do not own an
antique tractor; I completely restored a 1942 Farmall H, which
I stupidly sold during a move. The buyer was a Dr. in Ovid,
MI, and I'd buy it back in a heartbeat.<br>
