Why don&#039;t wives understand our need to buy tractors? When I see an old rusty tractor for sale I look beyond its current condition, and see what it should look like. My wife doesn&#039;t seem to have that vision. Take the latest addition to my stable for example, 1937 Oliver Hart Parr &amp;quot;70&amp;quot;. It&#039;s rusty, greasy, dirty, and missing a few peices, but it was cheap. I thought the guy was going to pay me to take it, but I wasn&#039;t that lucky. My wife saw it when I got it home and said &amp;quot; what are you going to do with that junk, I&#039;ve got jigsaw puzzles with less peices missing.&amp;quot; I guess she will just never understand.
