Old Farm Tractors
A pair of old neglected farm tractors sitting on a flatbed trailer on a farm in North Yorkshire, U.K. Unsure of make or model of either, built anywhere from the 1940s through to the 1960s. The newest items on these units will be the tires.
In my job I am fortunate to visit many farms and agricultural areas. Having grown up mostly in the countryside, I always feel at home on the familiar British farm and enjoy the company and banter of farmers. Quite often I find something interesting on most farms, whether it be old cars stashed away, vintage tractors, combines, threshers and other agricultural vehicles, as well as heavily used implements such as ploughs and bucket shovels, including other old machinery and artefacts (as well as random pieces of scrap). If I find the setting interesting enough, I take a picture.
These two picked-over relics belong to a tractor enthusiast who specialises in repairing and restoring vintage tractors and old farm machinery, and as such, has a large collection of various retired makes on his property - which is otherwise used as a working farm. Judging by the condition of this forlorn pair, and for how long they’ve been sat on this trailer, these are likely parts donors to aid in the restoration of similarly aged projects. Without badge names, VIN plates or any other obvious signs of identification, it is difficult for a non-vintage tractor expert to determine the manufacturer of heavily stripped tractors such as these.
