I have owned this old concrete mixer for over 30 years and it was old when I bought it. Did a lot of jobs with it, I know its not a tractor but I thought maybe some would like a pic of it.

I have one like that I bought used in 1956, poured 39 bags (one cubic foot ea) with it last fall. Mine will take a whole bag at a time and 60-70 shovels of sand/gravel. Will keep 3 guys humping mixing/pouring /leveling.
 
my grandfather got his used in the early 50"s...poured a porch and a basement at his house among other things...my dad poured his entire driveway with it and we still use it today...that axle w/ the rubber tires seems like a good idea...mine is still on small steel wheels.
 
I have one like that, less wheels and motor. My dad used it to mix and pour walls, floors stansions, mangers for his barn in 1949/1950. Walls are 12 inches thick, 8 feet high. Barn is 35x60 feet. Massive footings below that, and floors, etc are very thick. None of that has failed yet. Good as the day it was made. Hauled sand & gravel from pit at back of farm with an old wooden wheeled wagon. Screened it with a home made screening device powered by an old washer motor. Poured foundation for silo too. Also used for footings and basement floors in house he built afterward. I could put it back together and use it in a matter of an hour or so!
 
Do 'ya turn the muffler toward the tub in the winter to warm the concrete as it mixes?

Seriously, I have a cheap electric mixer I gave 50 bucks for it 20 plus years ago and still use it on a regular basis. Now and then to mix a bag or two of redimix, and almost weekly to mix chicken feed. Multipurpose around here.
