One of our sons is looking at buying an older farm house (late 60's)

So let me know, am I dreaming or could this work, around here air conditioning would only get used on and off a week or two each summer.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
