10 rules of tractor collecting
Original Message   May 9, 2005 2:23 pm

The Tractor Collector "10" Commandments


  • Thou shalt not store thy tractor out of doors, except for thy modern iron.
  • Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors tractor, nor his shop, nor his battery charger.
  • Thou shalt not love thy tractor more than the wife and children; as much, but not more.
  • Thou shalt not read Antique Power on company time, for thy employer makes it possible to continue thy tool payments.
  • Thou shalt not despise thy neighbor's Farmall, nor his John Deere, nor even his 2N on steel.
  • Thou shalt not allow thy daughters nor thy sons to get married during the holy days of the national tractor convention.
  • Thou shalt not deceive thy wife into thinking that thou art taking her for a romantic Sunday drive when indeed, thou art going to look at another tractor.
  • Thou shalt not promise thy wife a new addition to thy house then use it to store tractors.
  • Thou shalt not tell thy spouse the entire cost of the restoration, at least not at the same time.
  • Thou shalt not buy the wife a floor jack for Christmas.


  • "Man's mind stretched to a new idea, never goes back to its original dimension." -Oliver Wendell Holmes
