Neat display. I had a couple John Deere 110s that style. Mine were the earliest ones with an actual tractor seat, the metal kind on spring steel and had taller skinnier rear tires. Also had a JD 80 dump trailer. The tractor I used I had an exhaust shop make up a stack with a turn-out for style and to put the exhaust out and away. I still have the catalog of attachments and accessories. I decided I didn't like the fiberglass hood and would rather have an early all steel gear drive IH Cub Cadet, a much better tractor. Those old Kohler engines were awesome.

I pass by this interesting place. Always something cool out front

Cool pictures Tim! You may be farmilar with it since your from the DMV area and probably traveled 95 a time or two. But just south of Richmond there is the Keystone Antique Truck and Tractor Museum. I've passed it countless times in my travels and always want to make a stop. We're usually going through way to early or late though with trying to avoid the traffic north of Richmond.

The 1918 Fordson and the unknown seeder will take their place under the 8' Aermotor when I get it erected.
The plan is to use the hand pump connected to the mill to push up and down on a large 18 wheeler air bag with a check valve hooked up to draw water from the bottom of the stock tank and pump it up the hand pump to a flume, back to the tank. The water here is 800' down in the Lava rock. $60.000 well.

Yes I do know about that museum. The owner comes to the Tri-State Antique Truck Show in Clearbrook, VA, north up US11 from Winchester near the VA/WVA line. I rolled down there on February day e=with a friend a few years back. We had the place to ourselves along with a personal tour with the on site curator. The best of the best! Looks like my pictures are on my prior 'puter which I hope can be repaired enough to retrieve my folders

Awesome! I'm just going to have to convince the wife we need to stop one day! Our 1 year old already loves anything with wheels so it would be doubly cool to see there. The in-laws are in Powhattan and my folks in Williamsburg so one way or another were pretty much there when we go see them from Warrenton.

My 1946 LA yard art. I dont even know if it turns over. Just love the styling.

A few more. Diesel was less expensive than gasoline.

Attended a local auction today. Fun to see the hog on the differential of Bush Hog. This running JD sold for $1700.

Someone got a great deal on a Green front end loader

With that many people there they usually bring more than they are worth.

Any idea on hours of that machine and or year? I have a very similar looking one I'm thinking of moving on from as it's just too much tractor for the amount of land I have. Although if I sell it I'll probably find my self somehow needing a larger tractor for something.

Awesome, thanks! I'll have to look into mine, I know it's a little newer, mid 70's and is a diesel.

That will be something when you get it going farmall. Do not know the make of the drill but I do know that is called a hoe drill. I’ve never seen one that old. Maybe they were more used in your area.

It is an American Seeding Machine.
Google says it was a group of small companies that came together in the early 1900s to end competion amongst themselves. It ended up being sold to International Harvester in 1929.

This is is my 49 M. It is stuck and been on a PB Blaster IV drip for 8 months.
I might have to split it.

I believe the M replaced the LA. The LA had 10 hp the M close to 20hp. I bet it beat looking at the behind of a horse by far.

Nice 'M', I walk past the first (serial number 10001) 'M' and 'MC' every day.

I've always wanted a L or LA or LI myself.

Finished assembling a soft cab made by Original Cab Company in Indiana. I added some LED cab lamps and a small heater that came with the cab. The heater is wired to the battery and the power light on the unit stays lit so I’ll splice in a fuse or switch to toggle that off when not in use. Also bolted on and greased the snow blower. Ready for a blizzard now.

Those are all nice and all handy. But that 4x4 Ford is cool! Great size.

This one was out when I drove by a few weeks ago. Not sure if it's a Pony or a Pacer

That Ford with 4x4, water in the tires and the wheel weights tips the scale at 12,500 ish. It also has the 8x8 transmission
