Well, Grand-dad's 30-60 Oil Pull "was always on the farm", but the first farming sized tractor was a Avery Ro-Trak my uncle bought in 1939. This yellow thing with red wheels was fast on the road, but the rearend gearing was weak and after 3 or 4 failures this tractor got traded in on a new 1941 Farmall H which was the only horse that didn't burn hay until 1950 when it was traded for a new H and then 8 months later a used '48 McCormick-Deering W-6 was bought too. I'd sure like to have any of these old tractors to restore and show but the Avery would be my first choice, they are really rare...I know where one is, but it isn't likely to be for sale for many moons I fear.
