my neighbor had the the Ford hooked to the Oliver potato planter,he used it last week,but it was still hooked up ,so I took a picture of it.It was the last tractor his greatgrandfather bought for the the farm.It belongs to his 92 year old great aunt now,who lives in the old farmhouse.She used to farm the 50 some acre farm with this tractor,while her dad worked long hours at a foundry in a nearby town.She doesnt drive the tractor anymore,but is doing well at 92. Her sister has been doing the laundry and bringing her plates of food for years,they live next door to eachother.Her sister is having some knee problems.Last week she couldnt stand up for a long time,so she started the laundry,then went to rest a while.When she came back,the 92 year old had the laundry all done and everything cleaned up.Just some inrteresting storys that I am lucky enough to be part of. I thought you might enjoy hearing them.

The Fprd was purchased at a local Ford dealer in town.The dealer is not there anymore,but the building is .Next week iI will get some pictures of the old ford dealership building where this tractor was purchased.
 
Nice looking unit, enjoyed the story and pics, I just posted my potato digger and "DC" over on the Case side
 
Larry do you run the DIGGER in reverse to plant with it????? LOL

There where thousands of those Fords sold around the world and you would be surprised at how many are still used.
 
Any chance you could get some shots of the black Ford truck in the 2nd picture? They are tough old trucks.
 
You have a nice picture of a potato digger or harvester and a nice tractor. I enjoy your pictures. Happy farming.
