Nancy I were exploring the backroads of Minnetrista last weekend and came upon this relic. Iron wheels date the tractor to pre-pneumatic-tire vintage. You can just imagine homesteading in the great plains of central Minnesota.
The rust hasn't killed the beast -- yet. No badge could be seen on the radiator, so one can only guess at the manufacturer, plant, and model year. You need to look beyond the rusty finish and visualize a shiny red or green paint job, with complementing trim -- a tractor any farmer would be proud to drive.
The mercury was pushing 90-degrees when Poppina and I viewed the machinery. If the picture looks hot, well, it was hot out there.
