The first tractor I ever rode on was my grandfather's old Ford N for the early 50's. The tires were huge to me when I was a toddler but we'd go for rides out in the field and when I got older we would ride on the running board. My dad's first tractor was an old Farmall. :)

Yep, they were sooo much fun! :)
I already posted several weeks ago about my two grandfathers John Deere, Ford, and Farmall tractors. I so very much loved the sound when they were cranked up. Just plain SWEET...!!! :joyfull: :)

Well I'm convinced. After last winter and with the threats of this winter (wooly caterpillars everywhere! And they're huge! Not a good sign) I'm ready to pack it in and relocate south.
I'm convinced that Mother Nature drew a circle around my part of Ohio, over to your part of PA, up to Jennifer's part of Canada and back to me and decided, "These people aren't having summer this year. " :cautious: And I hope the signs of the wooly bears doesn't mean we're gonna have another crappy winter. :bored:

Definitely. This is exactly what happened.

No summer, six years of winter. One month of autumn. No spring.

It hasn't been nearly as hot here this summer. It was hotter today (it hit 87) than it was on July 4. If this is going to be another rough winter, I'm going to Disney for winter break and not coming back until it's over.

@donaldtoo and @Wrangler-Rick , sometimes I watch RFDTV for something different from the usual tv lineup on my satellite package. (I'm actually surprised that I get this channel at all, as I don't live in the country/farm areas of the state.) One of the things I like about shows on that channel are the minimal production effects. A lot of it is straight-forward filming, minor sets (if at all, depending upon the show), and just interesting interviews and educational shows. There's also not many commercial interruptions. (There are similarities to local cable tv access stations. However, since my tv is on satellite, I don't get the local access station anymore for my area.)

So the other night, they had a show about tractors, and the company they highlighted was Case. I never knew there were so many different types of tractors, and so many models down through the years. Many of the men they interviewed wore overalls or suspenders. Perhaps that style had been handed down from their grandfathers. (I think most of the men were farmers.) I recalled a discussion here a few days ago about tractors, and I think also @MOXOMUMD and @Gabe1 are tractor-savvy, too.

I wanted to mention this show, because they have more tractor shows as well, and they also sell a DVD of the shows.

Some people even collect tractors (I guess there's a collector, and possibly a museum as well, for probably anything we can imagine). That reminds me a little of a small, rural museum I went to, years ago, way up in northern Maine, near the Canadian border. It was a big logging/forest area, so they had a museum of different years, models and types of chain saws! That museum was quite different from museums you see in big cities! I liked it. :)

There is a John Deere museum in NW Illinois! DD will visit it someday. There is a beyond massive John Deere tractor in The Science & Industry museum in Chicago in their farm area. I took a picture of my DD in the wheel, plenty of room for about 3 more people.
