Growing up in the late 60’s on our dairy farm in Athens Wisconsin the first tractor my sister and I were taught to drive was a Minneapolis Moline R, and Dad used it to pull the wagon for picking rocks as well as other jobs. It was old and rusty but ran well and was simple to drive.

Then in 2020 after I saw one for sale all restored and looking great I decided I had to have one for old time sake and driving it brought back great memories of my Dad. The problem though is I got a very severe infection of classic tractor fever and it has led to me purchasing 14 more tractors of all brands. My Wife is a great sport.
