Went to a show today, piss poor weather for a show, but that's beside the point. There were only 3 other Mopars besides mine: 66 Belvedere 2 door, 64 Barracuda in gorgeous condition, and a 70 Satellite ragtop. I'll probably post those up later tonight, but for now, it's the tractors.  |

All those old tractors are cool. We have a 2 cylinder club here and an old iron club and they get together all over the place in Kansas here and have a big show at the state fair every year. Next weekend about 60 miles from here the antique truck club is going to a show with the old tractors. Should be a neat show to check out. I found this old JD at a boneyard a while back I went to.......  My buddy had an old IH low boy cub like the one in this picture. It was a fun little tractor to run around on out at his place.

We had 3 old M's, when I lived on the farm. Unfortunatly, they got sold when we moved to town. I really wanted one of them.

Yeah, I like old tractors also. That's just one more toy on my short list.

My favorite was the 1903 Hoyt Clagwell, a guy down the road in Hooterville used to use one (when it was running) his stupid farmhand wasnt much help either...His wife's cooking sucked & he had to climb a telephone pole to call out. Ah, to be young and impressionable in the late 60's/early 70's....  |

I love my tractors! FARMALLS FOREVER !!!!!!  I have 2 farmall H's ,A IH 574 utility tractor and a Hough HR60 Payloader.Plus IH square baler,case hay rake,and other stuff. I have a good buddy who has restored a Frick Steam engine.I hepled do some welding on it.He is restoring A Port Huron Engine now I think. I tell you what if you have the time and go to an actual antique tractor show you would have a great time.And if you have young kids they are the best thing to do as a family.I go to car shows but tractor shows are more family oriented. Go to a tractor show and most of the time your kids can get a ride on atractor putting around the show.try that at a car show.And the kids love it.My kids love getting to blow the whistle on the steam tractors. |

Daddy ran whiskey in a big black dodge

Johnson County Sherriff painted on the side,

I've always loved old tractors (my first mechanical love- age 5) I do have a 1952 8N, some may not consider the Ford in a class with the Chalmers or John Deere as far as heavy duty stuff, but that old thing is bulletproof & I use it all the time on my 3 acres. Never lets me down, Great tractor! I really do love those old steel wheeled crank type monsters though...  |

Old (restored) tractors are fun to look at! Don't think I'd want one but they're fun to look at!

I've always loved tractors. My dad put me on top of a Johnny Popper to drag a harrow around when I was 12. Ever since then I've loved going in circles on a tractor. I'd do it for a living right now if it paid worth a hoot.
When I worked as a newspaper reporter I did a feature on a guy in the next town over that owns several tractors. At the time I did the story he had 32 of them, most of them JD, but I'm sure the number has fluxuated since then. Any Charger owner who's out of the tractor loop would be surprised to discover how much some of these old tractors are selling for right now. I'd keep an eye out for old neglected tractors as well as Chargers if you want to make some money.

A co worker of mine is selling his 3 acres in Madera and has an old John Deere (early 1930's ? small front wheeled, crank handle type) it seems pretty small. Anyway he'd like to sell it, says it runs. I think he only wants a few hundred bucks for it if anyone around central Ca. is interested...  |
