I sorted through of few more piles of family photo's out at Mom and Dad's over Thanksgiving and found a few more pictures I don't think I've ever had on the A-C page yet...
 Me with my A-C Big Ace and 7050 toy tractors, 1978.
 The picture is a bit dark but it is me in front of the Two-Ten and six bottom Monoframe plow, spring of 1979.
 Dad tractor pulling with the Two-Ten, July of 1976.

 New DUAL loader on One-Ninety, 1977.
 New baby brother, spring of 1980.
 One of the firtst pictures of Dad's 200 after he just got it (traded in One-Ninety), March of 1979.

| It's the little things that make life so special. You may not realize just how fortunate you were to grow up in an all AC farm family. |

Great pictures! Thank you for posting them. Now, about this "old"doug business, I am afraid I don't understand where the "old" part comes from........ I guess that moves me another notch up the age scale. ------------- If it weren't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done! |

| My cousin and I both got one of those cool caps for Christmas back in the late 70's I think it was. We were both proud of those hats. The bad part is I think I threw it away a few years back because the foam on the inside was rotten. Maybe I should take a look around. LOL. Nice pictures too! Time sure does fly. |

As has already been stated, you gotta do something about that "old" part in your screen name. If I did the math right, i'm at least a couple of years older than you, and I haven't hit 40 yet. Close, but not yet. I still consider that young. May not have when I was 20, but that was almost 20 years ago. LOL!
Thanks for sharing the pictures. I wish we had that much orange around when I was a kid. We only had the C.( not full-time farmers. LOL!)
My dad took a lot of pictures of me, my brother, and the rest of the family, but we don't have many of the farming or the tractors. If my dad had brought the camera out while work was going on, my grandad probably would have pitched a fit. Play time was play time. Work time was all business, and wide open. ------------- I didn't do it! It was a short, fat, tall, skinny guy that looked like me! |

| Dream, I turned 46 on the 26th of Nov. I see these fine young men playing in the wagon in 1983. I got out of high school in 1983. Everyday we inch closer to the grave. So many AC's to restore and so little time. |
