My grandad taught me how to plant tomatoes, it's a cool thing for a kidt to learn, especially in these times.

I think the plants did well so far, small and compact, compared to the patch I was doing, moved it due to the critters, fence was falling apart etc. but needing the room, I'd like to start another similar in size again, one I can use my tractor on.

The ole 850 is deserving of some restoration, but has made a great utility tractor, grew up on a pre-65 4000, so always had an eye for these. The LPG arrangement may very well be aftermarket, it's an Impco Vaporizer & fuel system not sure who or when that was done, not sure if the serial number would shed any light on the LPG conversion, do know the head for the motor is a different part number. Oil stays clean for a long time, has not been changed since '04 and is still very clean, but ought to get changed this year. A hoe would be handy for many light tasks needing to be done here, those arms were actually on the tractor when I got it, so it did have a hoe on it, explains why the loader frame was broke by the mounts, I use the lower hoe arms to span a bar, that holds the 3 pt lift arms when the counterweight is on, no strain on the hydraulics.

It certainly worked well in those soils with a 2 bottom, and my 7 foot discs, it was turned once, then disc'd, and repeated, lot of fun to do a patch that size
