You can live the adventure I had with the Titan!

Oh man. You're killin' me
I drove the little 1950s Case tractors in my youth, along with a variety of Farmalls.

The only really bad note:
"It is missing some of the differential gears ..."
Might be some machine work needed there - cut your own gears?

You can probably find them. There are a couple guys who have tractor graveyards with tons of parts that advertise on my engine forum.

Cool. Parts might be available.
Now all I need is a couple acres in the country, a few thousand bucks burning a hole in my pocket, a wife who won't kill me, oh, and I need to retire too.
Can you help me out GG?

Aaaaaaaaaaahhhh!

I really need to finish my 3B and my Wagon first.
And then there's the room in the house that needs a new ceiling.
And the garage needs a new floor. Oh and the back wall needs replaced.
And the basement's a shambles. A couple man months to clean out and reorganize.
And . . .
You get the picture.
And I still have to go to work every day. I SO need to retire.

Since my dad is retired, he is always complaining about his new boss (my mom)!

He never worked hard like this before...

 :(  

He does'nt have time for me and my jeep anymore....

Wow, I'd think he would be looking for things to take him out of the house - like your Jeep.
And from quite a few retirees I know, the wife is looking for things to get the guy out of the house too.
