Thank you John from Custer Park, Illinois!

Drove over to John's place yesterday to pick up a starter tank for my 39 M. The tank was exactly as described. John showed me his collection and we had a real nice visit. People like him make this hobby very enjoyable. It was a pleasure to do business with a gentleman like him! Thanks again John!

John isn't a JD guy is he? I picked up a JD 290 planter from a guy in Custer park, IL last spring. Where are you from? I have family in Cissna Park, IL.

Have bought a tractor and sold Mr.Love a few things and he is the type of person that makes me enjoy tractors like I do.First class gentleman.

Yes, John is a John Deere man but has other colors too. Has a very nice collection of two cylinder Deeres. I live about 65 miles northwest of John. About fifteen miles from Ottawa.

Did he have an old barn across the road from his house and machine shed? Have some nice old JD crawlers? If so it must have been the same guy. He was really nice. I offered $50 for the parts I needed and left with a complete planter for that much.

i live closer to the shop, havent moved to the farm yet. hopefully when i fully retire or win the lotto, which ever comes first. got an appt today with the cardiologist (ever notice when you get older ya dont just see the doctor...gotta be some "ologist"_ supposed to start a cardio rehab program. do get tired pretty easy, could be the meds. found out from one of the tow drivers here, "smilin john" that some of the meds i take are thinning my blood, he said to watch out cause if i get cut bad, the bleeding will be hard to stop. geez, none of the docs mentioned that!!
 

[Baelee05]

Yeah there was some stuff across the road and he did have several little John Deere crawlers.
