Wow John, you have MANY great memories with your family tractor! My son is only 1 currently, so he doesn't really have the appreciation yet for these tractors, but I suspect it may take me several years to get it fully restored so hopefully he will take a liking to it. He is already expressing interest in using tools and helping me with various tasks.
I really miss my grandparents' 29 acres. It was a sanctuary for me as a kid. It wasn't a farm per se, just back in the woods in peace and tranquility. The fields out along the road is where the bush hog would earn its keep with the 8N huffing along compliantly.
Hopefully my tractor will be nice enough for parades some day.
