Nice looking machine rust man

Thanks, it was a good one but we traded it off for a 930 a few years later. Then in 2003 I brought home my uncle's 730 which was identical to the one we had back in 73. Here it is on the rotary mower not too many years ago.

Nice tractor Ive never gotten to run a case that age .

Looking at those tractors invokes a feeling in me, a sense of good times in agriculture and prosperity. Tractors were getting better and better with each new model came improvements. Better ride better handling, and capable of doing more. And yet the farmers could still afford new equipment and there was a degree of competition among neighbours. Things were friendly not cut throat . I can imagine the thrill of driving that tractor out of the shed to hook up and go work the dirt first day in the spring planting season. That feeling still grips me each spring

It was a big step up in 1973 and it still stands today.
We gave it a new coating of steel in the 90s as the original "chip board" was weathering pretty bad.

Those trees look like a nice addition too.

You are so right Ron. In this windy country a good hedge of trees is worth a lot. My yard is pretty well surrounded by either natural poplars or elms/evergreens that I helped my dad plant many years ago.

Having a dealer truck come through the neighborhood with new equipment and neighbors not knowing where it was going was priceless!!!
