953 nut 55,767 #51 Posted December 18, 2017 On 12/17/2017 at 8:09 AM, PeacemakerJack said: @953 nut Famous race horses like, “Man-O-War”, Ruffian, Red Rum, War Admiral, Citation, Barbaro would be cool if the name fit the tractor. Famous movie horses would also work like: Trigger, Champion, Loco, Silver, BlackJack. Descriptive terms: Leaky, Rusty, Ole Faithful, Fireball, Obstinate, etc There are lots of things that could be used, it’s just picking something and using it. It is especially handy when you own multiples of one model of tractor like a 953 let’s say! @Retierd Wrencher I Will! Thanks Wonderful suggestions, but it would get confusing because so many of mine are rusty. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aldon 4,827 #56 Posted December 19, 2017 Had a GT14 that I brought back from Horse Death. That was tagged Lazarus. My resto Mod was names Elijah. My GT22-8 will likely carry the moniker Samson. But I am waiting to make sure it’s worthy of the name once it’s finished. 5 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turftech 82 #58 Posted December 20, 2017 Great Thread! Mine were named out of desperation. Everyone said they all look alike, although they really don't. At least I don't think so. So here goes. Three 520H: Standish, Carmel, Arundel. 516H: Canaan, Livermore. 312-8: Biddeford. As you may have guessed each one is named for the town or city in Maine they came from. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeacemakerJack 10,738 #59 Posted December 20, 2017 Wow @Turftech I was going to welcome you to the forum but I quick checked your profile and realized that you have been a member a year longer than me!!!! Do you keep an eye on the forum? You certainly have a herd of ‘s and some great names to boot! Don’t be a stranger here. I for one would like to see some of your tractors sometime! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacemakerJack 10,738 #61 Posted December 20, 2017 CAN’T Wait!!! the genius of your names is that you won’t forget the cities where you bought them and some of them are really fun to say like Standish and Livermore 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TonyToro 1,078 #75 Posted December 24, 2017 Great Thread! You guys have much more creativity than me. My sons Raider 12 pulling tractor is "Good Ole Rusty" and we are still undecided about my father inlaws GT-110 but leaning towards "Tetanus Shot" lol or " Parts-n-Farts" lol 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
