I even dressed up in my bib-overalls and IH gear to do it. I figured that my son (now 10) had been trick-or-treating from them for so many years it was time to give some candy back. I had at least a half a dozen people came up to me and say that their dad or grandpa used to have a tractor like that, I spent more time talking and letting kids sit on it and get picture's taken with it then driving. I guess in all I went about 4 miles. It sure put a smile on my face to see those kids looking at that tractor, make's all the work worth while. I had a guy come over to me and asked about the tractor, his grandpa had one and that's the tractor that he had learned to mow on. He started to tear up when he talked about his grandfather and the tactor. He said that I had made his day. I told him where I lived and he could come by anytime and mow my grass, he thought that was pretty funny. Here's a picture of it I took before I left, my wife took picture's of me driving it that day but they were erased somehow before I downloaded them to the computer. Anyway great stories and cool thread.:biggrin2.gif:
