DeltaRed and Greygoat,
First, I apologize for my reply in earlier EB post. I was WAY off base on figures. Won't even try to correct them here... suffice it to say that based on price a BIG 4 is a big-boy toy for sure. (I normally verify facts with my husband before posting, but did not that time... my OOPS.)
Anyway, yesterday the kids and I took an axel/steering shaft in to be pressed apart. That machinist, Allan Severson, has been doing some work on a BIG 4 tractor, I am unsure of the year for it. (For more pics and details, google his name & "gas traction Big 4 from Blomgren estate"... and you should come up with a link to a site he is on). He and his wife were gracious in showing us their shop (very impressive) and permitted me to snap a few photos of the tractor (enormously impressive). He is also restoring a BIG 4 of his own. Just fantastically fun to see!
The pic with our kids in it, is to give perspective on size... our son is 5'6'. Cannot recall if the rear wheels are 90 or 99 inches tall - but what a huge beast of a tractor. And how fun to accidently run across one sort of "in our own backyard". [*I asked Allan if it was all right to post a few pics and use his name - he ok'd it. If we had a BIG FOUR, he would be our "go-to" guy, for sure.]

My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
