Rapier,
I am blessed with Very Good neighbors. Most are new residents from down state from urban areas. They sold the old home for big bucks and moved upstate and got many acres and a home for about half what they got from the old home sale. After they refit the farm home to their liking, there is not enough cash residue to get a $30,000-$40,000 tractor for bushogging.
I help out, much like you do, when there is a need for a tractor. I offered cash for the 39A, but my neighbor preferred field work instead. Ok, a done deal. I am sure I will be back a time or two in future. I have a John Deere 5065E 65 horsepower tractor and a Ford 1953 Jubilee (28 Horse) tractor. What do you have for a tractor?
I have looked long and hard for a mint M39A and at age 67, I realize I have MORE years behind me than ahead. Starting this October, this 39A and I will walk the woods with my hound dawg, Lori, seeking squirrels. I have a Marlin M444S and a M1894 Rifle with 26-inch barrel in .30/30 made in 1919. All my lever guns will get woods time while there is yet time....
Adam
