I love to hear a Standard. She sounds beautiful. Well done!

Slight correction, Standards are definitely male gender. Too butch to be feminine!

Looks like Fordson tractors are as hard to start as the old Ford cars. Give me a Ferguson anyday.

[@09amusement]

Mostly it's just a matter of luck and patience. I have both tractors, yes the Ferguson is as reliable as time but the Fordson is full of character.
