Here she is, my old friend.

I learned to drive on this beast. My Dad bought her from a friend when I was in my pre-teens. We used it to keep the weeds down and to have a little fun. She is a Case Tractor, built in the mid 50's (Not sure of the actual year, though we think it was '55 or '56) she still runs and starts good too. I forgot the choke or she would have started up on the first try.

The original plow is attached in this shot.










I used those ridges on the hood to line up the tractor with something on the end of the field so that I kept the rows straght.

This harrow has been around the block a little bit, but still works fine, tips up and down with the attached levers.

I love that the tires are still in good shape, haven't had to add air since we got her. We only had to replace one front tire, the other is the one that was on her when we got her.




Don't remember where we got the Disk from, used it a lot too. My dad even let me ride on it sometimes while he was breaking up the clumps from plowing. I got dirty and dusty and loved it. Not so sure why now.
