But in defense of my obsession, a lot of trucks slip through my hands. Usually after I get them running and serviceable. For instance in this shot, I no longer have any of them including the 8n ford tractor.

I never thought so much of counting pistons but have tried to count wheels a few times. I'm a little light on pistons, around 60 in runners and about the same in non. But I'm a trailer hoar and if I count aired up tires on the ground I have around 100. And another 50 or so for spares and ones I keep for rollers.

Did a quick count on cyclinders, up to around 86. Guess I have more old tractors than trucks.

That is an admirable quality. There are some things I should have let go of but haven't been able to do so. I guess I'm kinda like a roach motel...things check in but they don't check out.

My 3 oldest kids went to 4 years of college with college loans and cash handouts from dad who 'just sold another truck'. Yesterday I gave my daughter (first of 4 to marry) the 2500 I got for my diesel scout towards her upcoming ceremony. Guess I better sell a few more. If you're the IRS, I was just kidding.

That's what I paid for it and I sold it to my stepson who runs a tree topping business. The whole back is full of chainsaws and saw gas and climbing gear. He and his partner have put more miles on it in 6 months than I did in 4 years.

Well I havent been collecting as long as some of you but my modest 6 antique and several donor trucks are using up all my time and money. The enablers on this site are purely to blame. I have never felt such a sense of belonging or joy as me and my sons work beside each other and i read the stories here.
Feels like a perfect fit to me.
