Home Depot lawn & garden tractor display

When you park in the Home Depot parking lot and walk into the store you usually walk past all the tractors on display in front of the store. (Green and yellow) At least that's how it is here in Texas. I have always wondered what the reaction would be if a nice red Wheel Horse RJ58 was parked in that line of tractors. With a small sign (Display only not for sale). I have thought about asking the store manager if he or she would be interested in something like that on some Saturday morning. Seems like it would draw attention to the stores display and be fun to see the reactions when they see an antique tractor from the 50s.Sure would make some interesting pictures.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

I looked up the prices, $1500 to $3500+ . My RJ58 was $385.00 when new in 1958 (attachments not included) and it's still here.

Talked with a dept. manager at HD and they were not interested in having my Wheel horse tractors in front of their store. If fact they moved all the garden tractors inside. I guess the plastic on the modern tractors can't take the heat on these 100 degree days in Texas. :sun
