Yep in Gardnerville. Dane Rickford use to be on the Forum.
He is in Markleville as I remember. If you are coming this way,
let me get my dusting done first....

Haha sounds good

Nothing to do with the truck, but I won this 1941 farmall H on a whim from an online auction. A guy pretty close by sold his hay operation and they had an auction for all the equipment. Low and behold, this old girl was sitting behind an almost brand new 4x4 Case. I learned to drive on one of these and never quite got the opportunity to continue that experience as I got older. So I guess it was worth the couple hundred dollars.

Yes it was. I've never used a H. I do know a local guy who has one and I believe that he uses it to rake hay. His has no paint left, but it runs like a top.

My grandfather had a Farmall, but I am not sure what model, though it looked similar, and a massy 35 which was almost brand new at the time when he decided to teach me how to drive them.
Over 50 years later, I tracked down that massy and now own it.

That’s awesome. I talked to a guy when I picked it up with a cool story. Supposedly his grandfather sold their old tractor to the farm that was having the auction, back in the 80’s. The grandson got the opportunity to buy the tractor back. Kinda cool

Well, obviously I never take pictures of my idi project. But trust me I have done stuff to it. I figured I’d let y’all know that for some reason we decided to buy a 6.0. Definitely a step up in power from my previous vehicles.

What? A picture of your 6.0, but none of your IDI? You should be ashamed!
