Start up your tractor

It's time to get outside and do some good old-fashioned farming. If you have an antique John Deere tractor, use it for the purpose for which it was intended. If you don't have a farm, at least do some gardening with it. We usually plant a BIG garden!

Tip of the Week

Meli now gives you at least THREE tips every week. One helps you find useful products, another is a hint that will help you with your restoration, and the third is the answer to a question that someone else asked by email. If you don't find the answer to YOUR question in the "Tips", you can email Meli or Gene and ask YOURSELF.

So, please stop in and take a look.

What IS a "blog" anyway?

Welcome to the Retired Tractors Blog.

   The word "blog" is a contraction of "web log". So, what is THAT? Well, MY interpretation is that it is a diary or "log" of what happened today. But, instead of being kept in a little black book, it's kept on the web. Instead of being locked up and kept secret, it's made public.

   So, what happened on retiredtractors.com today? We started a BLOG, THAT'S what!
