I think I joined in the 1996 time frame. I had purchased a Farmall Super H and was looking for advice on how to get my Fast Hitch plow. Over the years, I met with Mike Sloan, Cecil Monson, Steve Offiler, and Steve Sewell. I visited Steve Sewell while on business in Ohio and got to see the famous MM Ranch in southern Ohio I visited Mike Sloan a lot as I had a lot of business in NJ and got to see the "fleet" of tractors he had to maintain his porperty. Cecil Monson delivered a MM ZAU for me back in the day and found that he had lived in Attleboro, MA for some time. Steve Offiler worked at the local Texas Instruments and I remember talking to Jim Becker on Texas Instruments TIIES system. A lot has changed since then and we have lived in different parts of country. I don't have too much time for tractor activities these days but I always find time to read the emails from the list.

<p>I am a fairly late member. I was recuperating from a crash in my spray plane in 2003 and was stuck in the house in a wheel chair killing time on the computer. I had plenty of time to kill. Not sure how I came to this great group. I was too late to LeSueur MN 2004 swap meet to get in the photo, but I did get to meet Cecil Monson in person and visit with him. Great guy.</p>
<p>Farmer, I need to replace a hammer handle. I could use you posting.</p>

Lots and lots of memories over the years. One that I recall was one year hammer handles came up and I did a post with a step by step on how to replace them. Later that year I had backed our travel trailer back into that one spot Diana always wanted us to use at Portland. As I finished up another trailer backed in beside us and before doing anything else Cecil Monson jumped out of the truck and hurried over to me carrying a hammer. He was truly excited that he had been able to replace that handle successfully, saying that he had tried before but could never get it right. Funny the things you remember...

I have no idea which tractor I took that year but since I am so close (about 2 hours) I never went without taking at least one tractor.

I seem to recall H.L. Staples being kind of early as a member? I can still hear him around the fire (usually a Dotson product) late at night and telling George Willer, "You better quit drinking George, you are looking fuzzy..."

It may be hard given the number of people in some of those pictures, but can someone put faces with names in some of the photos?
