[quote="CVPost-Sprint 6"](quoted from post at 10:05:06 04/24/22) Another story passed down about my great
grandfather's Fordson was he hated the
fenders. They had rocky fields, and the
fenders were so strong, if the cleats
pulled up a field stone, the tractor wedge
it between the fender and wheel, stopping
the tractor. Sometimes so tight the fender
would have to be loosened to allow the
stone to be backed out. So, my great
grandpa thought he was quick enough on the
clutch he could stop it if it started to
rare up. Fenders off, back to plowing in
his bottom land, the cleats pulled up a
large black snake and deposited it on his
lap and top of the transmission. The
fenders went back on as he decided he liked
wedged rocks more than snakes.
Great story about the snake, probably the fastest he ever got off the tractor! Hope the snake got away ok. Yep, a buck twenty five for a whole scrapped Fordson, those were the days I guess. These days a buck twenty five usually means $125.00. Good stories, Gerrit
