Awesome find! None of this equipment would look out of place in a vintage machinery show, especially in all its original glory :)

Just before the bad weather set in we cleared a old piece of bog ground for fencing and grazing come the spring , quite a bit of lumber down there so I thought the dexta would be perfect for drawing it up out ,she performed faultlessly pulling her weight in logs time and time again ,she really did enjoy it ,just what the Aule girl needed was a bit of good hard graft to blow all those cob webs out !!

There are a fjew kinds of houw to restore a classic tractor or car
jou have the kind of it must be better than new I call that over done
the kind that make it like it left the factory done
the kind making it look decent practical
and the kind like this one
just making it work and keep it working regartyles houw it looks

we cal that rat look

every way is good as long as it wil stay alive

but a traktor is decined to work in the fields
not to shine on a carpet
