I found a stash of antique tractors and a few old 1 ton trucks in the middle of Georgetown, TX. Heres the pics: This was next door: This was cruising all over town: This was around the corner:
You didn't happen to see a guy in a jacket and tie that looked like a NY lawyer riding a Hoyt-Clagwell,didja?
I want that smooth wheeled one to roll my yard in the spring. the rest of the time I could use it to hold my mail box or as yard art. The battle between me and the neighbor lady (***** who turns everyone in for the slightest zoning infraction) is quiteting down. Time to stoke the fire. Frank
...cool old iron!...thanks for posting. ,,,ever notice old tractors have an ancient hot rod look,...they have big n littles too.
That belongs to a very close friend of the family. What you were able to see from the street isn't even a quarter of what he has. I've known Louis since I was 7 years old, and he took me to a different spot on his property 3 months ago i never knew existed. I thought I had seen it all. Goldmine is right. A lot of those tractors are incredibly rare. He has people from overseas jumping all over him to get some of those things. He's a John Deere man through and through though! Go Green!
Yeah, I've had a battle or two with my cities Code Inforcement a.k.a. the SS- I had my Farmall parked in the driveway when the ''hate mail'' started- seems it's against the law to have a tractor parked in your driveway, but it's legal if parked off the pavement with a flower pot on it!
There is some really nice old iron in that place ! Some nice Steamers in there ! Here in Pa. the people would be going crazy trying to get all the steamers out of there . We have a huge amount of steam collectors around here that would love that place ! I can't believe those Belly Tanks are sitting that close to the road !
I figured someone on here had to know who they belonged to. I wish I brought my camera, all I had was the damn cell phone camera. Everytime you lug the big camera around, you never use it and when you dont bring it, you find this!
Very unique tractors. You dont see this type of tractors every day and I saw plenty I have never seen before and live in the country.Thanks for posting. Something different is a treat for the eyes.
I've got 3 barns, One has cars, the other has hit & miss engines and 3rd has antique tractors. The one that appears to be a steam tractor is not. It's a Rumley Oil-Pull kerosine tractor and I want it! Hot rodders dig thru rusty **** and where do you think I found most of my treasure. Just today a longtime rodder and friend was digging thru the rusty junk out behind my barn and came up with a 32 Ford hood top. Thanks a lot for the pics. Is this thread still alive??
Awesome pics Jared. There's a tractor graveyard about 5 minutes from my place as well. The guy is a ****head but he has a couple acres of vintage farm equipment, some in really nice shape. Few old cars too, but as I said, a ****head and he walks away when you ask about any of the cars. And I even rolled up in my cowbody cadillac Dodge Dually Diesel and wearing pearl snap shirt and Wranglers. Oh well.
Really neat old iron there. Don't tell none a them rat rodders though, all them tractor grills in one place might be too much for em'. LOL
The tractors are neat, i think most antique machinery would be intresting for us type of guys. Theres a pub here where every autumn they make a party for some reason i cant remember and a local farmer brings a few old tractors from his collection, he has few Lambos and other italian brands i dont remember, all runnin in and in top condition. This year i'll snap a few shots.Kool stuff indeed. They also sound the part. Then there is that big *** dually that appears to be a 50-ish chevy? the green-ish faded / patina one...what is it? is it a COE? Any front shots? Not that i could buy it if it was 4 sale, im just wondering and daydreaming a little... one of those would make me a happier person... Runnin around in a vintage COE around here would make quite an impact on the locals, not that thats my priority, but would add up nice to the feeling of driving that big beast! I know im gettin a lil OT, but having this kinda thoughts isnt healthy at all...makes me wanna have one bad. Vintage Flatbed COE=flatbed ****!
