Sadly I probably will not get it running. I really don't have any desire to actually sew on it, I just like having it. But he has no hobbies whatsoever so he doesn't understand. He does want to restore this old tractor but it's not really a hobby-he'll use it for actual work (he's a farmer by trade) and according to him, the old tractors work better than the newer ones. He traded in his newer big tractor that he uses for field work for an older model because he likes the older better. However, he did buy me my Janome 6600 (it was my idea but his $$. lol) and he's going to an auction next weekend to see if he can get me a chicken house so when we get chickens in the spring, they can live in style. :mrgreen: So he's still a keeper. :thumbup:
