[color=darkblue:9bede2b180][/color:9bede2b180]T*O*O*T = Tale Of Old Tractor
Don't hold back, let's hear one.
Good grief, I posted this yesterday and peeked late last evening hoping for something to read...why would this go POOF! ???
I'll shoot one off first: I recall back in the mid '60's my uncle would stop at the bottom of the farm yard; shift his little - but not to me at the time - Ford 8N, into low and head up the steep gravel lane and swing a sharp right to go past the windmill and pull into the haymow with the load of bales. Not always, but often, the front end of the 'red belly' Ford would bobble up and down - both front tires - before reaching the top of the knoll. Grandma always said I needed to get off the tractor at the bottom as she didn't want me to get hurt. Decades later I realize if that little tractor stalled out, it could have been disastrous. My uncles 'big' tractor was an 860 Ford which was left in the field with the baler attached. Two tractors; by an old platbook - 227.5 acres; never a barn cleaner, silo unloader, step-saver or pipe-line. It was the two Surge bucket milkers poured into the stainless steel pail, then to the cans. Very late a bulk tank.
OOPPPSS...I got ripping off a lot.
Sorry for the non tractor info there, once I got going, I guess I couldn't hold it in. :lol:
