New Red Tractor

[Inspectorjoe 471]

That's a stunningly beautiful H, Zeek. It puts mine to shame. 

I've loved tractors since I was a little kid - a very little kid. I decided I wanted to be a farmer. In high school, I took the vo-tech school's three year agriculture program, and got a part-time job on a dairy farm. While I loved working on the farm, I quickly came to the realization that I made a career-choice blunder. So I moved on and the years went by. A few months before I turned 60, I decided that life was too short and I was going to live my dream - so I bought a 1942 Farmall H.

I love the picture of you on the little tractor inset in the large tractor picture!

 

Looks like you could put a plow on that H and take care of the neighbor hood streets!

Big enough (most of the time).

Ha Ha!  Actually, there were only three tractors I haven't been able to fit in it - a Power King, a 312-8 with a blower and Original cab installed, and of course the H. The first two, a friend moved with his trailer, and the H, I drove home.  I never enjoyed transporting a tractor more than I did that time!
