A gas tractor? hmmmm...Mid 20s Case 12-20 crossmotors, hands down...they're small enough to be fairly easy to haul, and odd enough to attract a crowd every time you run one... no matter how scruffy it looks.

The 2nd all time is the earlier Case steamers (say about 36HP) with those neat cast stacks!
