If a tractor from the 30's and 40's could tell a story of what they have been through, it would probably be alot more interesting then the day a loan was granted and a new tractor came home. Dad can remember when an ice storm happened and wound up with litterally inches of solid ice on ground and everything else. His family did not have a tractor at the time. Horses and cows were falling down and breaking legs. After doing his lots, the neighbor came up with his steel wheeled Oliver and drove all around on the ice breaking it up so the livestock could walk on it with out falling down. Another time the neighbor got the same tractor stuck in the mud, and with steal wheel's, it really sank in deep. It was way down in the fall and before he could get it out, the ground froze. Tractor sat unused untill spring when the ground finally thawed out. I wonder how many simular story's an unknown tractor could tell. Alot of the old operators not with us anymore and alot of story's will never be told again or remembered by those that heard them.
