Someone posted this image on a Abandoned in Virginia's facebook page. I doubt it is abandoned, but they didn't even mention the smaller tractor. Fordson I'm guessing. Nice looking machine.

Well the kids and maybe Mom will get a nice wad of moola from it when he croak.
Real shame to let a 100 year old tractor just set and rust like that.

People don't realize, (or don't care) that iron will rust and when left in contact with the ground it gets worse. If you can't cover it up, then at least get it off the ground.
 
My nephew is a licensed steam engineer. He's been asked to restore a couple of those, but he says that those old rusty boilers are too dangerous to consider without a complete boiler and system rebuild, which will take a lot of time and money.
 
Wow , there are probably tractor clubs that would let you store that for free. Proof that we were more high tech 100 years ago than today.
 
On the plus side, At least they're recognizeable and they've not been 're-purposed' into a Honda or Toyota. . . .

I understand the point about the boilers being shot too. The boiler may have been about done when they quit using it.
