 Topic: The downside to collecting...
Posted: 25 Jul 2019 at 11:06pm |

is when you have to move it all. I am whipped, 3 months of moving and sorting, one week to go before we leave this place. Moved 17 tractors this afternoon, 27 to go, 90 total...and that was the easy part!

Eldon, if you had invited your friends on this Forum to come get a free tractor you wouldn't have had so many to move.

Take my word for it Eldon. Even though the move to the new place may be done, you won't be done moving for at least a year. Beyond that, 5 years later you'll still be looking for things. (I know it's here somewhere, I specifically remember loading it up.) Good luck on your continued move.

When one gets to a age where the collection outweighs the ambition (like me now) I figure the boys will just be cussing me out someday for having acquired the STUFF. But then they might find some of the treasures that are tucked into places I have even forgot about.
Don't plan on moving - guess will be carried out feet first - and all this can be theirs to fight over . In fact it seems I am storing much of their things from all the way what they brought in yesterday to back when they were born . Seems in 50 years in a place you built much is saved - and it seems there some pieces of trim that belong on the laminated beam that still need to be installed (one of these days)

Eldon: How many are willing to take something off your hands, as long at it is close to free and you’ll deliver it? I find lots want something until it comes time to reach into their wallets.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

I don't have to worry about moving cause my wife won't part with the house I built for anything, it just finding the time and energy to wok on them all plus keeping the rest of the property up.

I sold the mate to it on auction last winter for $200, I thought I had another one somewhere but it was hiding. I'd take $200 for this one...plus shipping.

Several years ago we stopped to see Eldon. We moved a D-10 onto a trailer and I moved it all the way to our place. Maybe I should add that I handed him a check.

And that's the truth. I put my "Good" tape measure up, when my daughter was 2 and kept wanting to play with it. 10 years later, after moving twice, I found it again. I believe it's still around and my daughter will be 46 this fall
