I always take my D14 but usually take along the JD A or the JD H. The H and the D14 make a nice ride on the trailer together because they don't weigh that much. Makes a good balance with the Allis on the back above the tandems and the H at the front. That's usually what we take just for that reason. ------------- Just when I thought I was finishing my "honey-do-list", she turned the page!!! |

My favorite is the one I'm running at the time or the one I'm working on. Guess I'd have to claim my 47 WC favorite though as it's the same year as I was born and also the one I started my collection with. ------------- When you find yourself in a hole,PUT DOWN THE SHOVEL!!! |

Thanks! If i remember right, I took that rake and tractor to a show in 2007.
I actually enjoy seeing tractors with equipment, more than I do just the tractors at shows. Makes it more interesting to me.

I would love to one day find some old AC equipment to put behind my WC. But things like that are almost impossible to find around here. I think my special tractor has to be my 1937 WC because we took it from sitting in a friend's yard with the wheels rotting off to what it is now. I still work it and the Oliver when I can but due to the many hills and holes that is hard on the narrow front tractors. ------------- 1937 WC, 1950 CA, 1959 D14, 1967 190XT, 2006 Ram 3500 |
