Orphans found a home

[Bamafan]

Some days are good and this was a good day I think. But for the price and a 300 mile round trip I couldn't resist. The PO an eldery gentleman who is in bad health, had these listed on craigslist. I called him and struck up a lengthy conversation. The more we talked the more I could tell he was lonesome and was really enjoying our conversation, as was I. He told me of his family and how since his wife had passed and most his old friends were gone it was really good to just talk to someone. We finely got around to the tractors and he told me they had been sitting for 4 to 5 years. Before his health declined he used both of them. He was trying to get rid of some of stuff he had collected over the years. I told him I would come and look at them and maybe take them. When I got there the conversation began again and after a couple of cups of coffee and a couple of hours of chatting we agreed on a price. I know this is a long story but I felt compelled to share with you guys. I'm pretty close to 68 years old and I have always loved talking to the older fokes and admiring there wisdom. He reminded of my granddad that passed when I was 14 years old. If anything I feel I have made another friend and that's always a plus. Here are some pics of the tractors they are a 129 and 108 all complete with decks. I could turn the engine by hand. They look a little rough but so did I when I was 45 years old.
