let's see now, in the past I scuba dived for years, road a Yamaha Venture Royale towing a trailer and traveled the country.

Backpacked & camped in dead of winter in High Sierra's.

Dragged raced hot rods, that was in my younger days.

Rear ended a police car once, it was unmarked and the brakes failed in the truck I was driving!

Hmm, what else, explored ruins in Guatemala, the Maya ruins, also get stuck there during one of the many revalutions with bullets flying everywhere. Could not leave hotel for 3 days and then had to be secretly escorted out at night, that was in 1955 or was it 1956.

In this day and age just enjoy the family. Planning a secret birthday for wife, a steamboat trip up the Mississippi if I can pull it off.

Hello stoppie101,

In my Avatar is a picture of a plastic car that my wife and I have owned since 1985.

I don't have the talent to work on it, but it sure is fun drive it around. I took it to a all Corvette show when it was 25 years old. We put it on a dyno.

Here is a picture of it going up. That old guy on the left is me!:o

Here are 4 of them at a show last summer. These old pieces of iron bring back memories of when I was a kid on the farm! :) Long time ago!;) The little gray one is the oldest built in 1930, neat little tractor.

Dave is that your wallet full of GREENBACKS sticking out of the right rear pocket!!

Guys never even think of asking Dave when he finds time to pressure wash, he drives around town on those tractors and is known as the TRACTOR MAN now.

At one time he was known as King of Pressure washing.

Poor Dave, went from King to Tractor man, age sure does sneak up on us!

Dave when did you aquire the other tractor, last one I recall you buying was the one like your dad had on the farm, the one you passed a couple times then stopped and bought it.

Are you planning on building a tractor pull machine with all those engines? let me know so I can watch you pull all that weight.

Hello Jon,

The tractor on the far left of the last photo that I posted is the one your thinking about. Actually we had tractors simular to all of these.

Here is another photo loaded and ready to go to a local show last spring. The red one in front is the one that started all of this about 18 months ago! :rolleyes:

White truck pulls em just fine. Good advertising at the show too!

True you can't beat that or the red truck towing those beautiful tractors to a show for advertising.
