Tractors!
Do you prefer Farmall colors?
Old farm tractors have been a long time interest of mine.
My first tractor was a '51 Farmall M. I went through the
engine and repainted it.
I've had the tractor pictured above since about 1997. It's a
John Deere 1010 Diesel. Other than being a little hard to start
when it's cold, it's been a very good tractor to have around.
This spring, I changed the water pump and painted the tin while it was off.
Fall of '05, I bought the '54 Fordson Major Diesel shown above.
I had to repair the reverse idler gear and some minor things. Everything
works well but the engine is getting tired. I will probably overhaul
it in the near future.
December of '07, I bought the International 350 Utility shown above.
I have repaired a leak in the radiator, recovered the seat and
straightened the tin some. Everything works well other than some
leaky seals. hopefully I can deal with the leaks and repaint it
in the near future.
Last year I dealt with most of the leaks and freshened up the tin.
A little over a year ago I picked up this Oliver 550. It runs
but it will need an overhaul. I'm slowly collecting parts and
making some repairs. I've straightened the tin some and mounted
some better tires. I bought some fenders on e-bay that will go
on it soon. I need a radiator or need to get mine recored.
