It seems to me that using my old AC's in my business is more play than work....you get in a fancy new (expensive) tractor and all of a sudden you are watching the pennies and the clock. BTW, made almost $1k last week while "playing"......

Play for profit sounds good to me.

Any time I can perform a task using one of my Allis's, I'm wearing a grin from ear to ear. Try to convince my wife that I'm working, but I think she knows better. Darrel

I know just what you Guy's mean. Yesterday I got out my WD and pulled in 3 logs for firewood. One was 30 inches by 11 feet and deep in a hole. Hooked it up so it would lift with the pull and eased out the clutch & as the tires slipped just a little and the Ole Girl just started talking .....I felt REAL good! She pulls just like she did in '52!

I guess that's why I don't fret about the paint. Enjoy playing with them more than sitting looking at them!
