named this one priscilla now why did you name it priscilla linda it just came it just was a good name and she did a lot of work mowing mowing priscilla with mull and what priscilla have a good temperament yes she she's tried and true she's tried and true there you go folks you can buy priscilla ford four thousand good mowing tractor now look at this not something i run across every day an ultra high crop this actually is my most unfavorite why is that linda because it's up there so high you have a little fear of heights huh and it's my great grandson drake's favorite oh his favorite okay how old is is is young mr drake he'll be 10 june 17. oh boy wow while this 3 600 ultra high crop folks again just don't see many and look at that condition you do you by chance remember where you guys found that one linda i don't know it's hard to remember when you have this many isn't it the history on all of them but another unique tractor right behind it yes and that one we got at dennis fox auction so i came out of indiana our friend dennis the offset 2000 beautiful that's fantastic now as we turn the corner here a couple more 2000s a couple of decks yeah and linda 62 and one's at 63. that's all linda can you can you just talk a little bit about when you and gary would go out you'd see one available at an auction or something the just the fun of going out we had friends we had friends tell us i saw one in cortland kansas i think you need to buy so we as your collection grew the word of mouth grew about four tractors yes okay now how did you decide which ones to pursue and did you did you have ones you were specifically looking for or just kind of have no we wanted them all different okay unusual sure something he didn't have something something unique and he was on the hunt jerry do you do you have uh what memories you have of gary in this collection uh did you have favorites uh ones that were toughest to work on uh well the the jubilees though and and then the demonstrator models the gold ones yeah boy that was really something because they had the extra chrome and then the color yeah those are those are beautiful aren't they just beautiful are you a ford guy jerry i i have a couple ford gotcha just the fact that you didn't have all forts didn't stop you from coming to help did it and who in this area around bristol here uh who would have been the four dealer going way back you guys remember oh you say well probably uh groton uh rock what was it then went to webster and then uh okay well didn't didn't they they were the ford dealer you got bowls and bowls and sauer yeah they started they were yep they were everything back so they were selling cars too and like a main street dealership swathers and yeah they sold everything right back in the day when small towns had three four five dealerships each right yeah i used to work for them you did you did they wasn't sour then that was years before that greg you're just you should have put a blue shirt on today not a green i got a day one i got a blue coating it's a little it's a little warm here today we won't make you put the blue coat on drag on it it says ford on it now i like that very cool and then later how far is it to clark i mean that's where you'd get a lot of parts uh wholesome got a lot of parts but they're they're closed down aberdeen and later times in watertown you guys would get the parts you needed to work on the tractors okay got harder and harder to get the parts yeah that's uh oh you are most of them online you know sure or he had special some special what was them companies he had a who was the guy up in canada yeah a guy in canada good source and reasonably priced for ford parts for four parts okay he would meet us in my knot okay girl going to college there sure well what do we have next year down the line linda a single friend single front i like those eight and linda i i gotta share this i told you the story about eight ends i sucked up at down deer we are at a true ford collector uh place here folks look at that sucked up did you guys ever own a john deere linda no no you're greenless well uh the little ones sure sure uh very cool very cool uh how about back in the corner here what do we have we have some majors majors made in england yes was it uh did gary talk about um those english-made fords that he liked in particular for any reason linda well i don't know but i used to call him the old maids the old maids i was sure his dad was talking about the old maids and finally i realized it was old major i cultivated corn with a two row corn with one of those nice nice some of these are four cylinders that one is a six cylinder this one okay and the majors are the most dependable factor but they'll they always start they always go and never have hardly any trouble do you know anything about this is a six cylinder i think oh it's this one this one you got this fully restored okay and i don't remember where but it's it's elongated hmm fall into that that's a good question the tractors that you guys bought were most of them in this condition or did you guys work on them gary worked on them when he could okay he painted them he did everything on them but rheumatoid arthritis got the best of them sure very difficult it's kind of still in business a repair shop and home quest uh harlan marty and felix spearing okay uh they worked on if anything was wrong if he couldn't fix it he took it in and they fixed it when and then he'd take him a lot of you know if he didn't paint him he'd have uh in webster brian center painter and when he brought him back they were 100 i mean he had tractors the three point if it didn't work that he'd get that guy in canada he'd get everything it was defect you know even if he was never going to use the three-point it worked and greg now you i'm trying to remember did you mention that if you told gary you needed a battery yeah if i told him the battery would bring back three and if that called him needs a fuel petcock you order three he did everything by three he just got three of everything he just wanted to be prepared or is that the best deal buying three no i wouldn't just like to get three you like get extra john as a neighbor uh with gary and his tractors what did you have some good conversations with them over the years oh yeah as long as you talked about four tractors you were fine i mean i'm kind of a john deere guy so i had to bite my tongue out yeah but the thing that i always have an impression about is so all these tractors we pulled them all out on tuesday and got them all out and running we never washed any of these i mean this is the way they sit i mean wow everything that gary and linda ever have is in great condition their yard is always perfect right you know so that's you know everything is just so nice and well taken care of so that's that's what i always remember kind of goes right out to that sign out front the pride of ownership right exactly right and linda what would you say to that to gary's and you're always having to have everything just just just i think he's going a bit overboard well i know john a little bit john a lot of work to keep it yeah nice we're always picking up branches and yeah you guys just wanted your tractors to to be right and look right right very cool all right well let's keep going to oh another 6 000 here now this one there's a little story on this one linda yes where did you find it crosby north dakota okay um it was painted blue okay and here he got excited but he saw scratched a little saw a little red paint and he knew it was a 62 okay which was 11. and his dad had gotten this tractor or a one just like it sure when um he went to college okay and he said i'm gonna quit college and go home and run that tractor i'm not gonna let any hired men run that time nice so finding this one had some good memories for gary then oh yeah i i prayed and prayed that he could get him running because it wouldn't run and he got it running yes and he was like a kid with a new toy wow very cool driving around just like when he was 18 huh very cool it's a beautiful tractor and linda the blue or the red when it comes to ford you like both colors or love them both yeah gold even yellow even gold now right now next door no am i right linda the next traction line is your all-time favorite yes very unique one here folks don't see many of these a county super six and you found this one from a well-known ford collector in minnesota is that correct that is correct okay well this one gets bonus points linda because i'm from minnesota so there you go but no that's a very good tractor now did you describe driving it as dusty or who yes i did with the front tires like that it's fun to drive there's a lot of power there but there's dust rolling too so a wet day might be a little better huh right we'll knock down that dust and would you take this to uh local shows or anything or oh yeah and over threshing the where was that held 10 miles down the road every year what town andover andover in uh labor day weekend yes the weekend after labor day well check that out the weekend after that threshing show in andover and they're featuring ford this year they are featured there you go very cool well again uh i don't see many of those linda did you drive this tractor much no i didn't actually but you had you and gary um you had been looking for one for quite a while a county no um or just happened upon it russell johnson from minnesota yeah he just i don't know he talked tractors with that yeah yeah well it is beautiful makes someone a great tractor i just dusted him off and tapped him and held the charger now did you have his lefties right lefty he was left okay now on when it came to the purchases linda did you guys team decision did you have to sign off or did you have to tell gary to buy more you were always poking him to buy another one or how did that work out i was pretty much poking him yeah you wanted another one i like to drive the fords very cool another 2000 here yeah and this one uh low center of gravity this was a like a golf course track here maintenance yes okay yeah he's got the more out there gain more okay for golf course there you go okay now what's the story with the next one here linda well was this a neighbor that nope actually we didn't know the guy from um 24 miles north from britain jamie carlson gave this tractor to gary and it didn't run it was back in the trees and his wife wanted it out of there yep and the story is jamie could remember when he and his grandma went to the hardware store and bought a gallon of paint and brushed it on and so that's why it looks the way it does it seems just the way it is well we all age don't we it's uh but it's running good i suppose uh folks all over knew that you guys were ford collectors you helped i put we put uh points in it all new wire a new wiring harness on it new carburetor and a new intake yeah and got it running and you tell us well yeah they have these tires we put the boards on it the board the board to set boards on so that was good what was that now a little different uh job for for you guys there given it wasn't in you know super duper conditioned but still kind of fun to work on way where it came around yeah he didn't want it fixed it up nice brought it back to life yeah very cool okay linda a five thousand we have a super major that's also made in england yup you guys have quite a number from from overseas now linda we're going to
