Grew up around lots of old tractors. When my father passed there were 46 tractors in the yard. From a 1904 Hart Parr up to and almost every kind of tractor between 1930 and 1960. Unfortunately all were let go over a decade.
Dad's Cockshutt 80 was in the shed for 50 years and with a bit of new gas took two hand crank revolutions and fired right up. A friend bought it and is restoring it. I was given a farmall model A when when I was about 8 or 9 and then I had to haul feed for the animals and work the garden. Had that tractor for 50 years. Sad to see it go to a new home.
