200,000 mile tractor?

Posted by RayP(MI) on May 28, 2003 at 18:11:09 from (216.46.197.226):

This morning my son and I were fitting ground to plant oats/alfalfa. He was on a 54 year old John Deere B, pulling an 11 1/2 foot quack digger (field cultivator). I was on a relatively young - 47 year old Farmall 200 pulling a mounted 8 1/2 foot disk. Both tractors were doing a very good job, running smoothly, and pulling their loads. I got to thinking, I wonder how many miles these old tractors have on them.... No way of knowing! In automotive terms, they have long since eclipsed their contemporary autos! They sure built those old tractors to last. And these two are hardly an exception - there's lots more of 'em all around the country, serving their duties, sometimes on a daily basis!
