I got home from work, tired as usual, and was hoping to get some dinner and hit the sack early. Instead, my wife comes in and says that she met an elderly gentleman who was talking about tractors while she was at work last night. She mentioned I had antiques, etc. Anyway apparently this old gent had grown up on a sizeable farm and some of his first chores were on a 2n.. etc. She mentioned that he might come over and see my tractors and talk tractors with me for a while. Well anyway.. he called today before I got home and she had invited him over. I was tired but figured what the heck.
Well.. he hadn;t even gotten into the house yet when he saw my 2n in the garage.. I think he almost started crying. We kicked the tires for about 20 minutes as he smoked it over.
Went inside and showed each other some pictures of our tractors.. and ones he had ( a nice oliver at one time.. and currently a basket case..case.. pun intended..)
Went outside and saw my 8n.. then jd B.. then my NAA and then my IH cub.
Gave a pasing glance at my NH 1920 as well. That was about all the time I had as I had to get to some chores.. but he left looking real happy.
I'm glad I wasn't too tired for the old fellow to come over after all.
