Antique Tractor Collector Hats

Antique tractor collecting runs on shared jokes. Collectors hold small herds: Andy Coulter owns seven, including a 1935 International Harvester F-12 and a 1948 John Deere A, and calls the hobby a habit he cannot kick. Robert Lefever keeps a 1931 Allis-Chalmers Monarch 50 and a 1918 Hoke 12-24, and says the hobby "keeps me out of the bars and off the streets." Forum members argue over where collecting ends and hoarding begins; one answer is that when the pole barn is full, it is hoarding, but if there is room for one more, it is still collecting. The in-group rivalry is red against green. Modern Farmer called the International red versus John Deere green feud "every bit as bitter as a rivalry between two major sports teams," and the line "If at first you don't succeed, buy a Farmall" comes straight from a Deere owner conceding the point. These antique tractor collector hats cover the badge side, from ANTIQUE TRACTOR COLLECTOR to OLD IRON, and the barn jokes: the collection that is never finished, the restoration that restores the restorer, and the show season that fills the calendar. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. They suit Father's Day, birthdays and Christmas gifts for the grandpa with another Farmall on the trailer.
