You are NOT going to believe what I was up to last week! I just returned from a 2750 mile excursion that led me to a great old dealership in Harrisonburg, VA called Whitesel Brothers. They've been in business since 1880! Talk about some great history. From there I worked my way up to Pennsylvania to visit the corporate headquarters of Zimmerman Oliver Cletrac. I didn't get to stay as long as I wanted to because I had to be west of Albany, New York the next day.
This was the highlight and main reason for the trip - I found a 1967 model tractor with only 70 original hours. Yes, that was s-e-v-e-n-t-y hours and she was a beauty. It was like driving a brand new old tractor. I can't tell you much more about it or I'll spoil the surprise. You'll just have to read the rest in the next issue of Oliver Heritage. It was a long trip home but looking in the rear view mirror and seeing that checkerboard grill staring at me helped keep me awake.
Now it's back to the real world of deadlines and typing until late into the evenings. Life on the road is interesting but it's always good to be back home.
