Being your son is 4, some children's books would be a good place to start. I'm not sure what color you are used to, but Deere had Johnny Tractor and his Pals, as well as some others, like Corny Corn Picker Finds a Home. These would be good to start with. They were 1st published in the 50's, but have been reprinted. My eldest son, now 14, has some copies somewhere.
Start there. There is also Green Magazine For Kids. Might be another good choice. The editor frequents this board.
Go to a tractor show this summer, depending on your location.
If your son has an interest, do what country folk do, and "cultivate it."
Depending on where you live, you may want to ask a farmer if you and your son can watch for a little while. We have a good-sized dairy that is near suburbia. We frequently get requests to show kids/grandkids "the cows."
Sounds like you are doing your best to be a good mom. Keep it up. Grow his interests as well as him, and see where it goes. At this point though, keep it age appropriate... he doesn't need to know how to change oil yet, or replace a clutch. When that time comes, you'll know.
A last thing... back in the 70's my mom, the farmer's wife, did her master's thesis on getting children to read. Her thesis was that if the subject matter was something the kid wanted to read, it would captivate him or her. I was her guinea pig, and I was just like your son. So she sent a letter to all the major tractor manufacturers, and she was overwhelmed with responses. I still have a lot of the publications they sent. So, you may try that as well.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of David Brown - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family’s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
