Sorry if I missed it but vintage tractors was the first I've seen on the topic. Reminds me of twenty years ago when I passed a place with I think a Farmall Cub (the smallest tractor before lawn tractors came out, for just eight or nine hundred in very good shape. As I lived in an apartment then I just couldn't convince her or myself of a place or person who would give me the storage space etc to buy it. Still love old tractors like I love mechanical watches like Omegas or the old wind up railroad watches. The connection with guns is pretty obvious in terms of functional objects in which a man's skill with tools is what grabs you. I have bought maybe three new firearms in my life, the rest USGI rifles and a 1917 Smith and Wesson rebuilt by the factory in the fifties to look new with box and serial number etc. Sometimes I think I am nuts but was a shrink for close to thirty years and knew not to talk about firearms due to prejudice based on old theories that politicians still use today. Except for some yahoos I've met at ranges, the majority of people have been a great collection of every profession you can think and one of the most helpful group of people I've met.
