Sometime think about moving just to get the chance to sort out the good stuff from the junk stuff but then I think of the old saying one man's junk in another man's treasure.

For that exact reason, this is why I took some pictures. I'm not sleeping very well at night, knowing that there is a lot of my collection sitting out back, by the alley, unprotected!

How many tractors hitched together can one tractor pull??? How far did you say you moved?
I'm just moving up the street about a half block. I gave some thought about hitching all of them together, and just pulling them all up the street at the same time, with the farm tractor, but as luck would have it, the farm tractor battery is dead. I believe one of my kids turned the switch on while playing one day, and I never took notice of it.

Congratulations
I must be seeing things. Is that a blue tractor!!!
Thanks Brian. We were able to get the house we wanted at auction.
Yes, that is a blue tractor, but it's not what you think. It is a 1971 John Deere 120. The previous owner would touch up scratches with whatever colored paint he could find on his shelf. It don't look like much, but for $35.00, I couldn't turn down the deal.

In the third pic, closest RF, against the wall: I did not realize JD had green 7 Iron decks in the 60's. Or that they had galvanized chute deflectors.......
Cat, that is an original 1963 110 mower deck, that the previous owner has pretty much distroyed. There is so much rebar welded to the deck, that it is virtually twice it's normal weight. Not sure why he fastened the galvanized deflector, as it really doesn't serve a purpose that he intended for it to do.
If you think the mower deck looks bad, you should see the tractor frame. This guy installed grease zerks everywhere! He also drilled extra holes in the dash pedestal, and installed mounting brackets, so that he could attach a self propelled Lawn-Boy push mower to the side of the tractor, just to give him extra cutting width when mowing. I'll have half a year into filling holes and grinding them smooth, when it comes to restoring that tractor.
