Mornin' Bro Keith,
Gentlemen FARMERS around here that have 3 to 5 Acres, have a LOT of Old 8-Ns. Repair & Restoration of them is BIG Business
They should organize a SHOW, here. Some are restored to "HIGH POINTS"!
Friend, Chuck found some OLD homemade tractor, with a Model A engine. A BUNCH gathered & FINALLY got it to run, only to be GREETED by a SNAKE that came out of the BIG SPLIT rear tire
