Who Has Tractors

I too have a love for tractors - not as old as some mentioned here but here's a couple of photos of my 1981 International 585. Its got a New Zealand built Rollmasta cab and normal runs a Belcher (again NZ Built) front end loader however here she is after working a 6 acre paddock. She's a true IH tractor built prior to the implosion of IH ion the early eighties

My family owned a four wheel drive steel spiked Huber,was got new in the 1920s for the farm,was very hilly in lower NY ,across the road an up hill from, Butter Milk Fall. All of us kids play on an drove it around in the 1950 even in the early 60s. My Aunt Maude passed away in the mid 60s,last of family living in the frame house. An right after that some low life stole the tractor,it was willed to my Cuz who never got it do too a scumbag.
It looked very very close to a Massey F4,but def rad/shell rounder at top,with oval flip lid.
Likely never going to find the thief.
If a pic of a 4WD Huber is around ,I love to have one??Thanks

 

@dana barlow There are some Huber tractors still around. I could not find any 4WD models but here are two I found.

Mainly known for construction equipment, road graders and maintainers primarily. Did it look like these Dana?

I put a pic of me an two buddys at the fram in about 1964 we were Bow hunting Quail n Turkey,after going to and wworking at The Worlds Fair in NY City and came back to the Farm to camping for 2 weeks in woods in the back 40- an hunt,before going home to Miami Fla.I'm one on left .

 

I was at that "Worlds Fair"! Greatest memory was "Driving" the OT Mustang. Quail hunting. Man that does bring back memories from the day. They were some good eating.

 

Spotted at a threshing show. Built in 1959 and used until 1990.

 

Hunting quail with a bow, pretty impressive! That’s Howard Hill stuff right there.

 

I've always wanted a Silver King, or Plymouth, which was the original name.

 

Here are mine. I love the old girls, probably more than my car!

 

A few pictures from Portersville, PA show today.

...some random stuff from this summer...

 

How cool is that! A truck mounted thrasher. Have never seen one of those. Must be home made. Thanks for sharing.

 

That mini-me Ford N sure is cool. Would like to know the story behind it.

 

I use a 48 8n to move my car around when i need to.

 

When you get one for free you really can´t say no...
It´s been sitting outside for 20 years and not being started past 10, the engine were seized, pulled the plugs and put a mixture of ATF and kerosene in the cylinders and after a week it were loose.
After an quick overhaul and new fluids the old tractor purs like a kitty.
Only problem left is the clutch, after years sitting outside it doesent work as it should, gonna be replaced.
It´s a Ferguson TE-20 from 1955
They are pretty similar to a Ford tractor, but these ones were made in England between 1946-1956

 

Is that the model that you use the transmission shifter to start it? Cool old machine. Congratulations

 

Yepp.. mine starts that way..kind of like an antitheft device too.

 

That´s correct, think it´s pretty cool, like the pedal start Buick used to have.

 

Gotta have a tractor!
