Yea for your DH and his antique tractors! What kind is he working on? Maybe he'll get you one of these sewing machines for Christmas!! :)

My DH has 2 Farmalls, one a family tractor and the other he purchased. He thought $150 was a little steep and he knows it would be impossible for me to choose one over the other, I would want one of each!

I think that nails it ... without a doubt it'd be a Farmall Sewing machine you need! :) Which Farmall? (we used to have an M-D)

i think they're really cute. i'm all for recycling when and where we can.

Not every old machine is worth the effort to try to make it usable for sewing. There are a lot of machines out there that were JUNK the day they were made.
