Hi, once lockdown 6.0 is over here I'll be the proud owner of a Farmall AV.
Curious if there are other owners in Melbourne or Australian on here.
Cheers

Re: Hello from Melbourne
Hi Chris, welcome to the forum. Paul is from around Sydney. His forum name is goxu1.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Re: Hello from Melbourne
Welcome to the forums. Although I reside in the US, my Brother-in-law and his family live in Mitcham, he doesn't have any tractors though. I have visited the area a few times and on the last trip I seen some older IH equipment around the Yarra Valley area. I have a friend named Henry in Gisborne who has several Farmall tractors and quite a collection of IH equipment. I can put you two in contact with each other if you don't already know him.

I could not say tractor when I was 2 years old so I called it Err Err.
I loved this tractor then and I still love it now. - Circle of Safety: Y
