Welcome to the new MichaelTJD60 headquarters in beautiful Lancaster County, Pennsylvania! After some extensive searching, and spending two months living in a hotel, I finally found a place to call home (much closer to my job than living in New Jersey). This marks the start of a new chapter in my life. I am now renting a small old Victorian house on 1/4 acre in the heart of Amish country, with an old barn in the back of the property which has a nice little 2-bay garage/shop area. I worked out a deal with my next-door neighbor to use both garage bays, and quickly began hauling up all of my shop tools and equipment from NJ. I now have plenty of space to work on tractor projects and to finally expand my tool collection. This is where most of my videos will be taken from now on, as I moved everything up from New Jersey (with the exception of the JD 210 and most of my attachments which I'm not currently using). I am still working on getting the tools organized and put away, but it's coming along nicely.
To kick off the new chapter, I purchased a couple small farm tractors which will make quick and easy weekend projects. I bought a 1979 International Harvester Cub tractor that came in on trade at the dealer where I work, and will be fixing it up soon. I also decided I wanted a small two-cylinder Deere tractor (before I'm ready to bring my grandfather's JD 60 up), so I fell into a deal on a 1941 John Deere H that is in the process of being restored. Shouldn't take much to get it running and should turn into a nice little show tractor and plow day tractor. I'm glad to finally have the space to store larger tractors and start tinkering with a wider range of different machines. I can't wait to see what kinds of projects come rolling into the shop over the next few years, and what kinds of videos I'll be able to make now that I'm living in a different environment. This is the start of a new era for my channel, and my life in general, and I'm excited to see where it goes! Thanks for watching and as always, thanks for your continued support!
