This morning my son and I were fitting ground to plant oats/alfalfa. He was on a 54 year old John Deere B, pulling an 11 1/2 foot quack digger (field cultivator). I was on a relatively young - 47 year old Farmall 200 pulling a mounted 8 1/2 foot disk. Both tractors were doing a very good job, running smoothly, and pulling their loads.

They sure built those old tractors to last. And these two are hardly an exception - there's lots more of 'em all around the country, serving their duties, sometimes on a daily basis!
