Ok... A Quick and Dumb Question

Ok, thanks to all the input above, I figured it out. BUT, not single picture worth a darn except this 32" buzz saw blade I had marked out for re-shaping the teeth, sharpening and setting. So it'll have to do for now. There is 1,960 photos and 1,215 videos on my phone and not one of avatar quality in the bunch.

 

That’s him. I just thought it fit your screen name.

 

That'd be a good avatar. Does a fellow have to be concerned at all about copyright stuff if that'd be used?

 

Sorta doubt it. Not like you are selling something. Or you could be Frank. He was the original tractor man.

 

Yeah, I was thinking if a guy was selling t-shirts or something it'd probably be an infringement. Frank was apparently an imposter...a combine posing as a tractor. Oh...the travesty !!! I guess there's nothing sacred anymore...LOL. I do like the dumb ol' tractor as you suggested first much better. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

I had a tractor (Farmall M) that looked very similar to him. Great machine for a 1947. My dad was afraid I would flip it so I gave it away to a friend.

 

Brandon Scott I think the resemblance to the FARMALL' is reason for the subtle humor of 'CHEWALL' on his hood. The old M's and H's in the Farmall line were workhorses and produced in phenomenal quantities. The tricycles were a bit of a problem on a hillside operation, especially if the lower wheel dropped in a bit of a rut. You develop an automatic reflex for quickly hitting the steering wheel and the downhill brake to keep from raising the uphill wheel too far.

 

I know all that much too well. This farm was logged b4 I bought it. I used that tractor to pull out all the tops and sold the firewood. Hundreds of cords. I liked the tricycle because you could stomp the left or right brake and turn on a dime around trees.

 

Yeppers... that's the way row crops were planted and cultivated two rows at a time with the tricycle 'row crop' tractors. To maintain row width, the rear wheels are set for the correct spacing. Lay out the field by a straight run to the opposite end of the field, raise the two row planter, stomp the appropriate brake and spin around a quick 180 and trace the same tire track back across the field and repeat.... I forgot the part about idling down a bit before the spin first. lol.

 

Heck I Stihl do that. Don't work quite as good with the wide front on the 364 but it works.

 

364...?? International ?? Yes, swinging the wide front sometimes skids the tires because some just don't wanna turn that tight... I have an Oliver 88 that takes 22.3 acres minimum to make a turn...and that is a three point turn too !!! Well its not quite THAT bad, but darn close.

 

That’s a peach!

 

Yep,International. Made in England. only ever saw 3 others around here in 30 years.

 

farmer steve that's just about what I was picturing. Nice size utility tractor. Probably only sips fuel unless you're plowing. I'd guess that's what...a 2-14 tractor...? For you non-tractor guys, that's (2) 14" plows.
