Cool you have Z50's! I have a '72 Z50 with a '69 CT 70 engine swapped onto it... It's beat to hell because I've had it for 30 years! Took it out the other day to goof with it and got it running but I didn't notice the fuel pouring from the carbuerator. The thing back fired and erupted into flames right there between my legs! After I put it out, I found the fuel leak, fixed it and she fired right back up, burned and all. I should really restore that puppy.

Back on topic, over the years I've collected Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars. You guys are going to think I'm a big puss but I also collect miniature ceramic and otherwise breakable horses...

i collect toys of my youth.some of em my mom still had,but others i have had to scour ebay for.i'm still short a 66 gto promo car in plum.and a tonka 67 camaro in butternut yellow.

Used to collect antique tractors and gas engines, but sold it all when I moved. Now I'm starting my antique clock collection. Easier to collect, and keeps the neighbors happy

Old tin toys, old stained glass windows, still have my Hot Wheels too. I have a bunch of old boxing magazines that came with my first house that I would like to sell. Some are from the 30's up thru the early 90's. Along with various SI years as well.

Oh yeah, I used to be a tractor jockey also! I only have one left that is for sale, '48 Allis Chalmers B, good metal, fires up right away, only 900.00.

I was collecting Swiss watches for a number of years. Now I'm going broke trying to keep them all running. They're nearly as expensive to maintain as MB's.

I knew an effete chap in Greenwhich Village who collected "swish"watches...

Was he an effete snob?

I used to restore old Farmall tractors. Mainly pre 50's Cubs.

We still have a ’47 and a ’49.

Woods 42” mower on one. 8 original and restored drawbar implements (plows, seeder, sickle mower, log saw…..) for the other.

Then I got a little carried away, and DJ said I needed to find a new hobby before someone got hurt.

whatever I can pull from the shelves at the stores..

When I lived in CT my bestfriends dad collected toys and he taught me how to collect them..

all of my stuff is in the box.. I should buy two or more of each.. but. I'm a college kid and.. its not that much of a priority.. just like a reward every now and then..


My dads father collects

German Cuckoo clocks (all from the father land)
Beer Steins
Spoons
books
wood working stuff

He said he is leaving them all to .. meeeee... I love his clocks...

he also has a nice collection of post war Rolexes he bought while in West Germany in '46

He gave me one as well as a nice hamilton... I sometimes wear my Rolex to work just to blow customers minds..

Last time I wore it some lady was giving me guff about how minimum wage workers are stupid and etc.. I flash my Rolex and tell her I have a Mercedes in the parking lot with a big trunk and she shut up...

Yes, "Sickle Mowers", can be dangerous with an angry wife at the helm...

She runs you over with that thing and....Well, use your imagination..But it wouldn't be good. Especially for your sex life..

For sure – I’ve seen some folks loose fingers just lifting (folding) sickle mowers up. A mistake they only do once, for sure. Not something you want kids around either.

Actually – With regard to the “…new hobby before someone got hurt…” comment - I was referring to the Bell/Farmall Cub in the picture.
