This might amuse all you tractor enthusiasts.
I'm not a tractor man but my friend Charlie Schroeder is. He recently
restored an International Harvester TD18a (a BIG job!). He told me the
story of his ordeal as he tried to scavenge and recreate old parts and
arcane tractor knowledge.... and wouldn't you know, I came up with a
song about it.
You can hear it at:

Click on "OLD TRACTOR" and you can see a picture of the old treaded
beast AND hear an MP3 of the song.
I hope you like it.

Thanks to all you tractor folk! The response to my song has been
terrific!
I've posted on several tractor boards and the positive posts and emails
have been very heartening! I've received hundreds of hits to the
various sites and I even managed to sell a few CDs.

If anyone is interested, I have a few more shots of Charlie's TD18A
that I'd be happy to forward. Just Email me.

Also I'd like to ask a favor:
I have the "Old Tractor" song in a sort of contest, the winner of which
receives internet radio airplay on Folk Alley. If you go to the link
below, you can hear your favorite tractor song, and (if you Log In,
which is simple and non-intrusive) you can rate it 1 to 5. Highest
rated songs get the radio airplay.
There is some great music at the site, even besides the "Old Tractor"!
