Do you guys give your tractors names like I do?
I haven't came upon a name for my 2470 yet but my DC is named "Nasty" cause it is one mean girl. The VAI is named "Buddy" because as the name suggests, it is my little buddy. What are some of the names you guys give your tractors?

Just doesn't seem right for an old tractor not to have a name. Here is mine. 1200 David Brown-Big David, 530-Little Ugly, 900-Big Ugly, 730-Big Jed, 430-Little Jed, 300 round nose row crop-Old Raliegh, 300 round nose utility-Little Ted, VA-Little Red, 400-Big Red, WD 45-Old Alice. Note: My six year old twins named big ugly and little ugly. I would have never named a Case tractor that.

My tractor named herself. After spending an hour on her. I named her "Bruiser" and she earns that name everytime she gets to work. She part of the family and we all have our quirks. I think of it as more than iron!

I need to name mine.

"Rust Bucket I, II and III" is all I can come up with. "Money Pit" has great possibilities too.

I've named most of my pickups through time though.

Blue '76 Custom Deluxe 10 4 spped, with headers and short steel packs was "Blue Thunder"

'82 GMC K20 4x4, 6.2 Diesel was "Locomotive Breath"

Red '86 F350 4x4 Crewcab with 6.9 Diesel was "The Crimson Haybayler"

'94 K2500 4x4 6.5 Turbo is "Locomotive Breath II"

My kids named every car we ever owned. There was '85 Tempo Diesel ("Bob"), the '88 Minivan ("Melvin" as in Mel-van), the '91 Tercel ("Zippy" because it was as small as a roller skate), '94 Prizm ("Elliott"), '97 Mailbu ("Spencer"), '99 Minivan ("Mar-van"), and the 2004 LS ("Trevor").

I have one of three tractors named. I won't tell you the Make and model, but it was one that I had always wanted, so I named it "Norman" after the calf in "City Slickers" that Billy Crystal loved even more than his kids.

And I told them why it was Norman.....

My neighbor had a VAC that took on any one of several names depending on how it left him stranded, none very flattering. I found out today it got a new one, "sold"

If she starts I lovingly call her "Old girl." If she don't start I call her S something but it doesn't in C - but she most always starts!:^)

I've tried and tried... but I can't come up with a name that I like for any of my tractors. I'm just not good at naming stuff (or cars), I guess.

My friends SC is named "Shorty" (since they had DCs growing up, too.)

I always wanted a name that started with the letters "SC", since my last name also starts with SC.

I'm sure that the name "Rusty" has long since been taken by SOMEBODY!

Mike; You are right. As you have seen by my post, "Rusty" is already taken. This tractor sat out for so long that when I pulled the valve cover off rust ran out onto the ground... Gene

Gene,

I just had a thought: If I get one of my "parts" SCs from the tractor graveyard running (which is probably possible in the near future)... I could name it "Scrappy" (grin)

With regards to my main (daily driver) SC... that I got running two years ago- I'm thinking "Ebay" would be a pretty accurate name!

My one and only SC was an ebay tractor too. It is pretty rough shape. Is a single front vegetable special with long axles, Motor is severely stuck and sheet metal is bad, but all wheels are good and still had anti-feeze in it after 25 years outside. This is a future poject after the V, VA, VC, D and C. Will need a seat, gas tank, grille, steering wheel, air cleaner and the list goes on... Gene
