I am sorry to hear about your health....you have a neat sounding collection of tools...how far back do sears craftman tools go?...do you have any vintage tractors that you acquired new yourself back in your younger days or passed down from your parents?

craftsman tools have been around since 1927 through sears with a lifetime guarantee from the start.
No more tractors left .I had at one time 34 tractors here .I showed a lot of them at tractor shows. my very first complete restore was a 1947 tiger by ensco The tractor was the last to go. broke my heart to see it go. I do have an old jacobson 10 hp garden tractor that I used to drag small loge out for firewood. It ran good when I parked it two years ago. where are you from?

awesome collection! would love to see some of your farm vintage equipment i'm very into the vintage farm house look.

as for your health goes, i'm very sorry to hear. did you undergo any bypass or stents at all? i'm sure they probably have you on some anticoagulant like plavix or 81 mg of aspirin.. i hope the best for you

what really surprised me when I learned exotic car maker Lamborghini was also manufacturing farm tractors..i could never put 2 together..seems like on opposite ends...have you ever come across or owned a Lamborghini tractor?...have you seen or know of anyone that has a sears craftsman set from 1927?..are they the same or better quality since there debut in 1927..i say that because for example I also collect hot wheels..and when they first came out around 1967..they were all die cast metal on metal chasis (mainlines) with a special shiny paint process ..these days for the same price point adjusted for inflation they (mainlines) have plastic bodies and thinned out card backs and enamel paints..so quality is not the same..i was wondering if craftsman also cut corners over the years?
