One of the wisdoms that come with age is the wisdom of understanding hobbies have a scale and scope and you have to right-size that. Gone are the days of ?no such thing as too many tractors?. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>I still have eleven engines that I have to maintain and fix on two tractors plus mowers/bobcat/sawmill/hit-n-miss plus several PTO powered implements, several unpowered implements and an old truck restoration.

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.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>> 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:<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX1oAk6fxm8" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX1oAk6fxm8</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>> 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.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>> 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.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>> Dean Vinson<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>> Saint Paris, Ohio<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>> <image003.jpg><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>> _______________________________________________<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>> AT mailing list<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>> <a href="mailto:AT@lists.antique-tractor.com">AT@lists.antique-tractor.com</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>> <a href="http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com" target="_blank">http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>-------------- next part --------------<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>URL: <<a href="http://lists.antique-tractor.com/pipermail/at-antique-tractor.com/attachments/20240429/fd41a77b/attachment.htm" target="_blank">http://lists.antique-tractor.com/pipermail/at-antique-tractor.com/attachments/20240429/fd41a77b/attachment.htm</a>><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>------------------------------<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Subject: Digest Footer<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>_______________________________________________<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>AT mailing list<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><a href="mailto:AT@lists.antique-tractor.com">AT@lists.antique-tractor.com</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com" target="_blank">http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>------------------------------<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>End of AT Digest, Vol 73, Issue 9<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>*********************************<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></blockquote><p class=MsoNormal><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><pre>_______________________________________________<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>AT mailing list<o:p></o:p></pre><pre><a href="mailto:AT@lists.antique-tractor.com">AT@lists.antique-tractor.com</a><o:p></o:p></pre><pre><a href="http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com">http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com</a><o:p></o:p></pre></blockquote></div></body></html>
