That needed a "spew alert". Glad you got back in form, Toppop!

As a matter of fact, sugar, I just happen to have! And for those who haven't heard this story already: She was the very first piece of motorized farm equipment on the old family farm, when my dad wasn't much more than a toddler. 2 plow mules were traded in on her, and the kids cried, because the mules were leaving to go work the rice fields in Louisiana. She is still in her original family. Granddad bought her, then dad got her, now I have her. If I ever win the lottery, she is my restore project. While I'm sure no one will appreciate her as much, when I am gone, she has a home as long as I have one! I rode on dad's lap on her, until I was old enough to reach the pedals myself. She and I have a history and bond!

That's a sweet little tractor, hope you can bring it back to life someday. It's always nice to here the story that goes along with the tractor. Here is a picture of the first tractor I ever drove that was left to me when my dad died in 1997.

Did you notice the hood ornament. My dad put that on and when I restored the tractor I left it on. It's a women with long flowing hair.
