Yeah, actually, there are a lot of old tractors up around here too.. Farmall A's and stuff. Some of the old ones are a might bit unstable though... with those front wheels set so close together. Mr. Croc knows of a couple of different farmers that got killed when their tractors rolled on the hilly land up that is up in the back country where he hails from...

Still, they certainly are nice to look at... especially when they are all painted and shined up and on display at the fairs. I particularly enjoy the steamshows though... Might try to make it to one of those this month. There's a real primo one that happens at a small fair in our area. It's a neat fair... doesn't try to be like the big fairs... It's more of an old-time fair that just has cool and funny stuff at it...no midway at it... Instead, they have stuff like the steamshow., or sheep-shearing contests. They have a lot of other contests for the general public on over the weekend too... Things like log-sawing and nail-hammering, and rolling-pin or hay bale-throwing contests... Which is kind of nice because it gives everyone in the community a chance to get involved and have some fun... not like a lot of fairs where you need to have livestock to show.
