SO i been doing some thinking for the last 2 weeks an i have a building that would be great for the FIRST BOLENS MUSEUM!!!!!! what do you guys think? i have a old block hay bar that was 2 story but the roof rotted so i tour the roof off. i believe the building is 50ft long and 30ft wide. has a cement floor but I'm going to pour a new floor over it.... and we are are putting a regular roof on it.... I'm hoping to have it set up for early summer.... I'm going to have surveillance cameras everywhere and a good security system. i have a good size collection but i would love for some members to put there tractors and rare attachments in the museum. i will of course have a insurance policy and the whole works. and also have some shows out here but with all garden tractors i mean will all brands of GT'S so we have a bigger turn out. we can have a plow day an garden tractor pulls and demonstrations with the tractors and attachments... I think it would be awsume but PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS THINKS I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR OPINION. I THINK WE COULD MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF THIS LIKE BEING IN LAWN AND GARDEN COLLECTOR MAGAZINE. i think this could be an awsume thing that could get really big. thanks for reading and would love your input. thanks, Sam

Would you be looking for "Museum" quality restorations, of would tractors in "Working clothes" be OK as well?
If a "working clothes" tractor would be OK, I could let you display one of my G11s, and possibly with a Haban Sickle-Mo attached to it.
Only problem is that it would be a 900+ mile round trip to get it there unless some sort of 'relay' could be setup.

Well I've got to get hold of a lawyer about the legal issues if there is opening a mesum. I hope to get some sponsors and start a club ya know, but with the economy in the toilet who knows.
