Send Me Your Tractor

pictures, I will post 'em here, and then we can all admire 'em. Sound like fun? Grandchildren, children, and critters in the foreground are welcome. Get on it. Don't forget to include any interesting details.

Send in your yard/garden tractor pics, too, if ya' got 'em.

Send 'em to jaciii@bellsouth.net large files are OK.

Some pics of JD's big and small from an lurker who wishes to remain anonymous. Looks like Grandpa is semiretired on the big mower. You don't see many tractors the size of that BIG Green with the boy without cabs/ROPS much anymore - oldschool.



From EP(Gregg) Does that look like hot dirty fun or what?!

MF 1135 100 hp. This was during the 2004 peanut harvest in late October, I sent you the second picture to show you how dusty is was that day. This is the land on the river (94 ac cropland above the river bottom) where we are talking about hog hunting with you guys someday.

We were running two 1135's and two combines that day. The 1155 was pulling the hay halling trailor. I took these pictures when I rotated from combining to driving the dump wagon ( 195? international 2 ton modified with PTO hydralics and a large side dumping basket on the bed) with the all important cooler full of beer in the front seat. Not only did you did you have to go to the combines for them to dump, but you were also the bartender. The peanuts were dry enough to combine between 11:00 am and 10:00 PM, which makes for a long day. But it is fun!

Here's what a box-stock International can do with only a wax job and some shiney wheels for show:



Here's Bill's Garden Tractor equipped with snow blade on front, chains on the back, and an angel (Bill's daughter) in the drivers seat.



Here's David Goodyear and his just-turned-two year old grandson, Hunter, on his newly acquired and tuned up '51 Ferguson. That's 1951 for those of you out there with unproven post-Y2K tractors. Note the size of that starter motor cable - David wants the juice to flow!
