I bought an old tractor all dusty and worn
know nothing about it just the year it was born
but I'll wash it and grease it and pain it red
and it will live happily right here in my shed.

Thanks for your visits, comments and favs!!
Have a fantastic weekend!!
I only had this partial truck, so I decided to go with this rusty tractor for HTT. I thought it was neat because it has a roll cage. The farmer must have wanted to be a race car driver.
This 19403 tractor is postioned in the village of Thirlby by the ford at the river. It rarely never moves other going to shows but the local farmer starts up every other day and it works as new. Things were made to last back then.
After the parade through town, around the mill and into the park, tractors either park or head out to the fields to work. Of course, t hey have farmers on them, too.
Turning into this short driveway becomes a journey to years ago as a deserted barn is fronted by a tractor that is not seriously used any more.
Searching the library of our memories for incidents that stand out from a farm upbringing can reveal things that had a larger impact on us as youngsters that others might miss.
The years of my youth were long enough that certain happenings took on an exaggerated significance because my world at that time was pretty small and was definitely centered around the going-ons of my father and his constant labors to tame farmland and raise enough livestock to pay the bills and fill the stomachs of his brood.
The warm months in southwestern Minnesota were all about tractors and machinery out in the fields: planting, cultivating, harvesting and plowing pretty much filled the months from late April through Thanksgiving.
I grew attuned to nuances that interrupted that patterned flow and an idled tractor in our yard told me something was probably wrong as my dad was in the saddle most days from before sun-up until after sunset. A silent tractor could mean a mechanical breakdown or more ominously, someone was sick or hurt and dad had come in from the fields to check things out. Decades later I can quickly recall the tension that grew in me until I found out what was happening.

A few weeks ago the farmers were very busy because of the harvest time. When I was driving home I saw this Tractor and thought this could be a nice picture :-)
Since the year 1964, Schlüter was specialized in tractors of the upper power range. At that time, that meant engines till 320 hp. Quite an exception in that era were tractors which obtained four tires of the same size, represented by the Super Trac series. The Profi Trac series were equipped with four equally sized tires, mounted on two steerable axles instead of just one. The rear axle of this Profi Trac tractors could steer in the opposite or same direction as the front axle, as well as steering not at all. In 1978, a unique specimen was built, the so-called Profi Trac 5000 TVL with 500 hp. At its appearance, it was regarded as the most powerful tractor of entire Europe. Later on, 184 Euro Trac were built, until the Schlüter company went bankrupt.

Far better known for their tracked vehicles, The Cleveland Tractor Company also produced a wheeled tractor, The General, of which this is the tricycle row-crop version. The General was introduced in 1939 but in 1941 the model was taken over by B.F. Avery and then by Oliver in 1944.

A farm tractor pulling a manure spreader waits for Norfolk Southern local train C29 to pass at a grade crossing west of Atlantic. The train is moving away from the camera; it operates with locomotives on both ends to better facilitate switching.
