Having a car in that area, this time of year, does not guarantee you can get around very well. Also, I can't think of any place worth seeing this time of year, with a farming-related theme, within a close distance.
I live 15 miles from historic Cooperstown. They've got the Farmers Museum, Baseball Hall of Fame, etc. Farmers' museum is a great place to visit spring, summer and fall - but not in the dead of winter. It's more related to 1800s farminmg and hores-drawn equipment though.

The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor.
