I have some older tractors that I inherited from my father's estate. I no longer live on the farm or in the area where my father farmed so I have no real use for tractors in my life. How do I go about selling these tractors and finding out if they are worth anything in the antique tractor market?

We always keep an inexpensive 35 mm camera nearby during our restoration work and use it to take "before" pictures, as well as pictures of components before (and sometimes during) disassembly. Referennce to them can help during reassembly.

Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids?

If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.

"How old are you?" I'm four and a half!"

You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five!

That's the key.

You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.

"How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16!" You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16!
