Here's another drive-by photo from our trip to town earlier in the week. This old Farmall tractor is spending its retirement sitting on the edge of a field along a highway...
I'm not sure if its a model F20 or not, but when I was a kid we had one. It usually had a loader bucket attached to the front for moving snow or manure or rocks or whatever needed moving. It started very noisily with a crank that was located at the front of the tractor. I was scared of the loud start-up and would cover my ears with my hands if I was nearby. That old tractor still resides on the farm where I grew up, but it hasn't run for many years.

ReplyDeleteI like that contrast between the pristine snow and the red of the tractor... the steering is interesting, that long rod... Thank you for sharing on Weekly Top Shot #64!
