love the sound of old tractors!

I am fortunate enough to have a neighbor with 250 acres of
farmland and a massive antique tractor collection.

Over the weekend, I heard the unmistakeable sound of an
antique tractor working, coming from my neighbor's
direction. Getting out the binocs, I see my neighbor on his
Massey Harris 55 diesel, pulling 2 disc harrows.

This morning, as I walked outside I was greeted to a
different sound- a hearty putt-putt. Sure enough, now he
was driving a JD model G pulling the same 2 disc harrows. I
wonder if the MH broke down? I'll have to ask him about
that.

It sure warms my heart to hear old machines like this
actually doing work. A beautiful spring morning, chugging
along on a beautiful old machine in the sunshine discing a
field- what could be better. As soon I can, I hope to get my
'40 and '47 JD B's in operable condition, so I can offer some
putt sounds to the neighborhood as well :)
