Here are two of Grandpa's tractors.  I wish I had more photos of his equipment, I wish I had his 185 and most of all I wish I had Grandpa back.  The photo of the D19 was taken in 1973, me and my three sisters after church one Sunday.  The photo of the 185 was taken in 1991 at his last farm sale.  He bought the 185 new in 1978 (traded the D19 in), He was 68 years old, farming his 80 acres and raising 8 head of beef cattle a year was his idea of retiring from dairy farming.

Funny thing about family tractors.  You always think very highly of them. 
City people can't understand what I want the first Flat Top WC my father sold, but then again they just don't understand.
Good Luck!

I agree with you Bill. People say why don't you just sell the land. I say cause it's a part of me. I worked and it and we are a part of each other and you wouldn't understand.
