Gorgeous - It lights up an old man's heart to see such a lovely truck and shop - complete with a 9N and a fire truck! Is that your son in one of the photos?
Please note I didn't say cub this time!
Don't know what go into me - must have been late when I answered the other thread.

JD and GJ, I had a friend who toured the Gallo winery and farm - he said that they had bought several of those tractors - 6 or 8 - in the 30's and 40's and that they were still in daily service.
What a good investment! Can you imagine 65 years of those humble little beasts chugging around the vineyard? Now days, you can not buy a set of tires for them without spending more than they cost new!
