So I have a few hobbies.
Watchmaking
Anything R/C
Telescopes/ Space.

I currently build custom automatic watches for people. I'll have some examples later of some custom dials.

I also have a R/C crawler (TRX4) , I also love flying drones. ( I currently don't have a drone)

Flying - before all my health issues
Sailing - ditto
Fabricating - I have a decent small shop and usually something on the go
3d printing
Music - I repair and tune old Marshall amps and play my guitar through them, they are beasts.
Tinkering with my Mirage, finally adding the items to it I promised myself before a summers long coma

Do you restore old tractors, keep them, flip them?

Are you partial to a certain brand?

Are you partial to a certain brand?

We started collecting when I was about 5 so roughly 40 years ago before it was really a thing.

We restored exactly ONE and realized that was A) way too much work to do properly B) a waste of time because when you go to a show all the restored ones look exactly the same.

So we started looking for ones that were all original. Survivors as its called in the collector car world. It has been our mission for the past 35 years to promote original paint preservation, and it has finally gained a following although at this point there's no telling how many we have lost to subpar crappy paintjobs...

We aren't very good at selling them... we have sold exactly ONE in my lifetime, although since Dad passed us boys have finally started to realize that we don't have time for them all and are going to start letting go of some of the ones we aren't attached to.

That said, we have almost 200 at this point... mostly Oliver, Minneapolis-Moline, and Cockshutt as well as anything oddball. We avoid Deere and IH at all costs since everyone and their mother have those.
