    I was going to post this one in the food plot thread, but here's one of my seeding unit. Farmall 504 Diesel and my Massey-Harris drill. I've got more pictures of my equipment floating around, I'll have to find them.

    Love the 504's we've got an international 504 hi-clear which is darn near the same as a Farmall 504

    So here is my baby! 1937 Centaur KV that was my great grandfathers. First picture is the day we rolled her out of the barn in 2003 (me in orange, dad in the back and my brother hiding) first time she had seen daylight since the 1970's. 4 aug 03.JPG

    This was the day I got her running and almost finished (still wearing the temporary seat frame) 39 nov 06.JPG
    This is after I finished the seat frame. My grandfather had told me a story about getting it stuck at one point and using their Farmall F20 to "push" it out which ruined the seat and frame so ever since I could remember it had a seat and frame made of wood so I attempted to recreate an original which was hard because they only made around 300 of these little guys and theres not much out there 2012-07-11_21-05-51_117.jpg

    Those Nuffield seem to be pretty heavy built tractors? I see a few here and there in my travels. Nice saw as well I've also got my eye open to get my hands on some day :D

    The Nuffield 460 was designed by a bloke that designed tanks in WW2. Yea she's heavy.

    My saw was built in Ballarat Australia. My grandfather purchased it new. She has cut a lot of wood!

    My 52 Super C clearing a little snow just before Christmas. I've got an original front leveling/ grader blade for it but it's in the shop so only part of the frame is there IMG_2226.JPG
