Just saw a piece on Fox News highlighting McPherson (sic) College in Kansas …
Specializing in auto restoration……Wonder if they will accept me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . You know talent is needed when a major news outlet runs a feature on car restoration. |

Not knocking Kansas but that does not seem like a place with a lot of car restorations.

QUOTE(bdstone914 @ Oct 15 2025, 09:09 AM)  Not knocking Kansas but that does not seem like a place with a lot of car restorations. Tractors Bruce . . . Think tractors! John Deere is destroying the Ag industry with million dollar tractors, combines, and implements that are loaded with tech. The problem is when they break down the farmer has no ability or right to repair them. John Deere is among the worst when it comes to suppressing right to repair. If your rig breaks down during harvest and you can’t get a technician with the software to diagnose and program modules, your crop rots while you wait for a technician. There is a growing market of farmers buying, selling, and yes restoring old iron that they can maintain and repair. Sound familiar to what’s going on with automobiles?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) One of our customers restored a tractor like that but it was just for show. Cool piece of iron but it’s not going to work 10,000 acres. Those monster tractors are on monster farms. |
