CLICK-ON THIS LITTLE TRACTOR TO ENLARGE IT!
I WAS AT THE SOUP SUPPER SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT THE HURSTVILLE
INTERPRETIVE CENTER AND THIS  LITTLE JOHN DEERE WAS UP FOR
SILENT BIDS.   I BID ON IT....AND GOT IT!    IT WILL BE ON THIS LITTLE END
TABLE IN MY OFFICE FROM NOW ON.    I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE JOHN DEERE
LAWN AND GARDEN TRACTORS ARE MADE IN MY HOMETOWN, HORICON,
WISCONSIN.    MY DAD AND BROTHER RETIRED FROM THAT PLANT IN THE
SMALL TOWN OF HORICON.     HAD I STAYED IN HORICON, I WOULD HAVE
LONG AGO ALSO RETIRED FROM THERE.
ANYWAY, THE TRACTOR WAS MADE BY DARYL SWANSON, WHO LIVES
OUT IN THE COUNTRY ON HIGHWAY 64, NOT FAR FROM MAQUOKETA.
HE WAS IN THE U.S. NAVY FOR 22 YEARS.   HE MOSTLY BUILDS BIRD HOUSES
AND HAS  DONE SOME WOODDUCK HOUSES FOR THE HURSTVILLE CENTER.
HE SAID IT TOOK HIM AROUND 12 HOURS TO BUILD THIS TRACTOR, AND EVERY PIECE WAS PAINTED SEPARATELY.      DARYL  AND ME  ARE BOTH
FANS OF THE HURSTVILLE INTERPRETIVE CENTER AND URGE  YOU TO
VISIT IT OFTEN.    FREE ADMISSION TOO.     TAKE YOUR KIDS OR GRANDKIDS.
FUN THINGS TO DO BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE.   CHECK OUT THE NICE GIFT SHOP WITH PERFECT GIFTS FOR ANYONE ON YOUR LIST!
WHAT A PLACE!
WHEN  YOU SEE DARYL, THANK HIM FOR HIS SUPPORT OF IT.
AND COMPLIMENT HIM ON THE TRACTOR...NOW MINE...A JOHN DEERE FAN
ALL MY LIFE.
