Tractors At Our Fall fair

I spoke here before about my good old friend Ronnie Lee who owned the Shell station when I moved here in 1970 and who shared my love for 55 and up Austins -- he and his wife drove a '55 A-50.
I used to see Ronnie out on his tractor as I drove down Lee's Hill in the south end -- same Lee. I popped in often for tea as well.

Well, his grandson Gordon just acquired Grandpa Ron's Farmall Super C Offset. I was so glad to see Evelyn, Ronnie's wife who is now 97 and to get a photo of her by the tractor.

Got to get a closeup look at a Poppin' Johnny and there was a big Hit-'n-Miss running next to it. the Massey Pony had the ribbon for 1st. I figured the Case beauties won the year before. I'll have mine there next year, Lord willing.

Was that white touch part of the original color scheme? I'll tell the old gent you liked the tractor. It was easily my favorite of the few tractors there too. He belted the Hi-crop to a threshing machine and threshed some oats.

Before the Fair I was walking by a barn less than a mile away that was always used only for hay storage, the doors were open and I saw those two Cases inside so I introduced myself.

Does the Eagle hitch have a top link?

Cheers,
T
