Post a picture of the tractor or truck that you are most proud of, be it a 1930s Farmall or a 1960s IHC pickup yhagbyou restored.

Judging by the restoration skill of guys on this forum, this should yield some great photos.
 
Easy one! Was going to post a tractor
picture also but don't have one on my
phone.

My wife's 640. Yep. I know. The
640 has the wrong sheet metal. But
these are working tractors. Always
get the job done!
 
Not a show piece, but my grandfather purchased it new on December 7,1964 according to the bill of sale. Oddly he died December 7, 2004 forty years
exactly.

Bubba wanted me to post a picture
of his cub. So here's Buc!

That's the day we got him. Just
loaded up in KY. Nearly 800 miles
round-trip. But what a cool 14th
birthday gift. 2 years later
still looks the same, runs great.
Has a belly mower and bubba makes
money cuttin'grass.
 
I don't do show tractors, so nothing
pretty here. But my 1030 has been a
real project with lots of setbacks, but
it runs good now. And considering that
I did overhaul it outside, twice, I'm
kinda proud of how it runs now. Sure
glad I have a place to work inside now
tho. Lol

My son restored this 2510 Gas for his High School Senior Exit Project. A lot of parts got evaluated and replaced which he presented and described on Presentation Day. The Paint was done by a friend. It sits in the shed now un-used but every time I walk by it I have fond memories of all the work he put into it and all he learned. He put a lot of late nights into it insisting he do it himself. Of course I helped a little in the tight spots.

After an Associate Degree from Calmar IA and working at several JD Dealerships and a Cat Dealership he is now an instructor at the JD Training Center in Davenport.

I also really enjoy my 4250 with 4200 rollover plow which I have posted on here many times so I won't bore you with posting it again.

My 6030--I should post a picture of one that makes me money instead of on that costs me money but life is short and have fun while you can.---Tee

A neighbors MM ZA that I bought at his retirement auction and my Grandpa?s MM G144 Combine that he bought new in 1957. I pulled the pair in a parade last summer. The ZA?s previous owners nephew walked up
to me and said that?s Uncle Mike?s ZA. I said it was and how did he know? Said as a kid he spent many summers on that tractor. My brother is on the combine and I?m on the ZA.
 
that would be my old forty.

and his baby brother the W12 I restored over 20 years ago. hauled it home in the box my new 1996 ford 1/2ton 4x4 at the time.

This is one of several but this one was done in memory of family, friends,and men & women that worked at
the Allis Chalmers LaPorte Works LaPorte , Indiana. Tractor today goes to shows and pulls and pull loads of wood around place.

I don't have anything "restored" with new paint. However I 'restored' my SuperM back in the early eighties.New engine(450 s/p),new tires,cleaned everything,replaced/tightened up everything...,but was never painted. Still regularly using to this day.It will probably haul me to my grave.Or the other would be my Turbo 706 with german diesel. 13,000 hrs and still strong.I also have the 3 bottom rollover that was bought new with it new in '67. I started over with it in '84.It will never leave.
 
My first restoration. Before picture is posted under the ugliest tractor post. Had
a lot of help and guidance from my older brother in his repair garage and from my
dad. Now I can do most of it myself, just lacking in motivation at times!

I lost my all-time favorite tractor in an out-of-state auto accident. Circumstances forced me to leave it behind.

I've posted a pic of mine before but not sure where it is now, so here's one from the web. A Pasquali 986:

My 2 favorite tractors.

My dad on his dads 1949 WD that he bought new.

It's a 1957 Chevrolet 5700 LCF. 327 engine with original 4 speed and 2-speed, plus a Gear Vendors overdrive and a 17 1/2 foot Chevron roll back.

That sure is a sharp looking truck JerryCPP(WA) . I always like the older trucks as they has styling. Tough to work on for old fellows.
 
Hard pick, but my "930" Case, is just a dandy. I'm the second owner. I kept track of this tractor for many years as the former owner (has past on) was a customer of mine and bought it new. Was very surprised when his sons sold it, but I guess I told them it would have a happy life with me. Snuggled away in the winter, then busy in the summer.

Here it is getting put away in the shed, along the "730"
 
I really like my 1969 Case 931. I sold it new to a local farmer. It changed owners a couple of times, but I got the opportunity to buy it back 3 years ago. I totally rebuilt the engine with 1/8" overbore sleeves and pistons. I added a RH door to the cab and built the custom steps and fenders for it. I also extended the roof front and back to shade the interior and added all the lights into the visors.
It is also still earning it's keep, doing most of the plowing this fall up on the farm.

I always liked Massey Harris. Our dairy farming neighbors had a 33 that did most of the daily work, but when the going got tough, out came the 44!

Lugged around some bales and feed when I had the farm. 72 Chevy C10 stepside 350V8 4spd Muncie m22 wide ratio trans. 307 posi with Eton gears. Had a 3spd Saginaw synchronized trans before the 4spd. Kind of a mutt since it has a 68 front clip 72cab and a 73 bed. It gets out of its way.

Here's the fun summer tractor I play with. Put 3,210 miles on it in seven states in 2018. 2017 it got 1,850 miles on, and 1,500 + in 2016. Has been across the Mackinac bridge three times.

I have a heard rust. I guess my 460 is my pet. Right now I've got 268's mounted on Mable but I've got a set of 468's for her too. This is my heard less my 300

love the pictures guys. Had to add 2 of mine. I know Grandpa Love will appreciate the 900. She's in the shop right now, got a new clutch yesterday and since the sheetmetal was mostly off, decided to paint her up and bring her back to her old glory.

My favorite truck would be our 78 Dodge Lil Red Express which we've owned since brand new, favorite
tractor out of our 6 would be the one attached to the steering wheel in my hand. They're all Molines.
Sorry I'm without the requested photos. DP
 
Hey-Calmar is where my son went-what years did your son go there and what dealer sponsored him?---Tee
 
I have two Farmalls and five garden tractors but I like this little Wheel Horse I rebuilt a couple of years ago, had it since about 1980. It's been rolled a couple of times and bent every where. Haven't used it in years. Took it to the local threshing show last year. 1966 Wheel Horse Lawn Ranger.

It is a 1977 with 1400 original hours. Smooth, quiet and handles like a dream. Trying to attach photos and it says"Posting is Disabled"
 
I?ve posted these pictures many times, but we?ll do her again...

The 1935 Chevrolet 1 1/2 ton grain truck was my grandfathers. My uncle got it from him in 64 and used
it everyday to feed silage until 1987. I bought it a few years ago and went through and brought it back up
to running condition. I drive it everyday doing chores and running between farms and even sometimes to
town. It isn?t efficient and those mechanical brakes give your thigh a workout but I still love running it like
they did. I do hose it off every so often but I don?t think I?ll ever do any body work. Everyone knows her
like she is.

My 886 I do winter chores with if it isn?t too muddy for two wheel drive. There are lots better loader
tractors out there (and two others on this farm) but I really love the 86 for some reason. She fertilizes in
the fall and spring, pulls the drill for wheat, and runs the batwing mower. Hay season I sometimes run 10
hours a day in it and love every minute. I?m the second owner with about 3800 hours on her now.

Not the purtiest in my fleet, but this one has made me $30-40k a summer for the last 8 with nothing but fuel and oil for costs.

I know Grandpa Love will appreciate the 900.

Only have two tractors, Not sure proud is the right word but happy sure is. Bought this Ford 3000 diesel shortly after we bought the property in 2002. It's been keeping 8 acres mowed, a 1/4 mile drive maintained, dirt and gravel moved and my acre sunflower patch cultivated for the last 17 years without a major repair.

Corresponded with the moderator and I think it is fixed. It's tough getting old. I lose brain cells daily.
cvphoto8767.jpg
 
Someone has to post a Massey....LOL

1977 MF 1135, 2850hrs, on hobby farm duty now, new rims and rubber in 2018.
