Unofficial Home of Old Simplicity & Allis-Chalmers Garden Tractors

I got drug into Barnes & Noble last night 'cause my wife wanted a new book. While there I stumbled on a great
book about the story of a tractor restoration. I'm not much of a reader but I devoured several chapters last
night. I kept laughing out loud as I read about Roger's situations and recalled my own learning experiences with my
AC Garden Tractors.

He refers to a "gene" which is triggered in men which hooks them into restoring things (making them work again)
and collecting them. Roger states he used to have a home with a nice yard, several trees, and a nice home &
garage. He now has a nice yard, several restored AC tractors in the yard, fewer trees, a nice house and a garage
full of projects. Sound familiar?
Anyway it is a fun read - just thought I'd pass along.

I have the "gene" - do you?

Enjoy the read, T.[A href='http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ts/book-reviews/0760303010/ref=pm_dp_ln_b_1/002-8335384-1853819']http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ts/book-reviews/0760303010/ref=pm_dp_ln_b_1/002-8335384-1853819[/a]

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
