The totally unofficial old-ass tractor thread

[herm]

There's the other one I mentioned.

It's a '47 Ford 2N.

One of these babies lived in my barn in Oregon for almost 2 years. Previous homeowner had no place to put it, so we traded storage space for tractor use...Pretty bullet proof.

I've got a '76 Deere.  Dad and I use it for logging duties mostly now.

Cool looking tractor. If I needed a tractor I'd have that one.
You can see the wind tunnel work in the design.

There must be one in every country town in the western world.

The M lives!

It still hates me, but with the mag rebuilt (again) and the rest buttoned up it makes a sweet lawnmower/path-maker. I bought it a grader blade, so it can pretend it is a grown-up.

This belongs to a neighbor.  Still runs, basically all original except for the coffee can on the exhaust pipe.

Is that one that starts off the flywheel by hand?

[the_Journeyman]

I'm not sure, I've seen it running, but never watched him start it up.

It looks similar to a JD my buddy George has. You spin the flywheel to start it on gas, and then switch it over, once warm, to diesel run through a carburetor.

[the_Journeyman]

It might be.  It's usual jobs are running a molasses mill and a grain mill off the PTO.  It doesn't see much field work anymore.
