Is that legal posting a RED tractor on a John Deere site? Got anything planted yet?

Hopefully the oats get sowed tomorrow. I'm sure the cash croppers to the south of us will have the corn planters rolling any day now, if they haven't already. They might be a little gun shy, as last year the early starters had to re-plant acres due to some cold wet conditions we got in early May.

Sowing oats

Picking rocks, this one is a bit more vintage. Remember; I got my 340S seat recovered in trade for field stone! I've got enough rocks to do all the sleds in the country.

Don't you have any John Deeres?
I have an unrestored '37 B, that's it.

We were all Deere until '72. The sleds were the last pieces of new Deere equipment Pa bought. He had a falling out with the dealer over warranty of an engine failure on a 2510 diesel.

All Case after that.

That's a classic narrow front-end Case.

Hello gentlemen.....

Last year at this time I employed 6 people in my fabrication business, Now... due to the economy.... I had to lay off all of my employees and hit ground zero again...... I had the John Deere 244J wheeled loader and all of the goodies. Now the loader went back to Dads farm and I am out doing field service for a small company in Duluth inspecting and rebuilding 350 horsepower electric pumps used in steel mills, mines, paper companies and sewage plants...... And of course, I serve my country with the Air Force 1 weekend a month working on F-16's. And I like to go to my in-laws large Farm in central Wisconsin and shoot up things with my AK-47's and other interesting firearms....... BTW: I love tractors... greene ones, but we have many red farmals too..... I have won some and lost some too, but best of all, my Family is still with me through all of the ups and downs........ just my .02
