No Chris, I spent the day at Johnson's turning tops for kids on the lathe they provided and my wife had plans to go to a auction sale tomorrow. Might be home later in the afternoon though.

I go into convulsions if I'm off line for more than a few hours...two months would probably kill me! Welcome back, Steve!!

Hey Steve, WELCOME Back. I was afraid that you had finished that "Tractor Restoration" you were working on, and got it running and just headed out over the HORIZON with a big smile on your face, and forgot to come back HOME.:rolleyes: :D :D

Actually I just bought this 1966 John Deere 3020 about two weeks ago, identical to one of the tractors we had on the farm. I learned to plow on this type of tractor.

I'll be getting a front end loader for it so it can be used on the jobsite, lifting 6x6's, roof sheething, shingles, etc.....then clean it up and take it to a tractor show.

Hey that's a beauty Steve. Gosh some of you guys sure had it GOOD growing up.:D I first learned to plow with my uncles team of horses, and Dad had bought a small farm and then bought a homebuilt tractor, built with a Model "T" motor & clutch/gear assy and they had added a truck transmission and rear end behind that, (no electric starter either).:rolleyes: I thought I had died and gone to heaven when we finally got a 1 row Allis Chalmers, (still no electric starter):( that we farmed about 75 acres of ctton, corn and maize with. We really got up in "High Cotton" though when we finally traded for a Two Row Case, (Electric Start..Yippee).:p :D Starting about the 5 th grade, I began plowing for some of the local farmers and they had everything from Fords, John Deere's, Farmall's and one large Ranch I did a lot of work for had a two row Allis Chalmers, and two VERY LARGE Mineapolis Molines. After High School, I never Farmed again, as such. I did help Dad out a little with the plowing a few times when I was home for a visit.

You'll have to post more pics when you get it all rigged up and pretty for the tractor show.

Welcome back Steve..

Gee another green machine. You know if you park that thing on a platform about 2' off the ground & take a back tire off of that thing & mount a big face plate just think of the size bowl you could turn.......................................& think of the RPM that bowl would be turning out at the outside edge:eek: :eek: :eek: :D ...............
