Beauty and the Beast

Here they are, the first tractor I owned, the Beast (and recently repurchase) and my most recent purchase, the Beauty.
We had a ride Saturday and Kenbob toured the country side on the ol 44, me on the 77.

Nice looking 77.

i had a 88 and super 77. Mrs 730 thought the green yellow and red on those old ollies were worst thing she ever saw.
i told her paint wasn't what i was looking at( i lied) it was the tractor as they were both good tractors.

Sharp 77. I spent many summer days on one of them, leading a New Holland 56 side rake around and side dressing corn. I'd love to find it and buy it some day

Nice 77. Mine looked like that when I hooked it to the feed cart over 20 years ago. I don't know what the paint
looks like under all the manure and dust anymore. I doubt she'd clean up that good anymore.

I like them both, but the 44 is my favorite.

Any farmer back in that era would have been proud to own either of those fine tractors!

I am an Oliver guy by my raising but I couldn't pass on the 44. It's been fun getting it to this point! About a 60 mile ride and both ran good.
