field shots

[witty73]

Hi all, couldn't help but post a couple of photos of the old girl in the field from this past weekend. We were baling some straw with it, and the old fan belt decided to give out. I parked in against the corn and couldn't help but take a few shots. Subsequently, can anybody help me with a useable number for the early (wide) fan belt I can use to attempt to cross reference locally for a new belt? (ie: brands....gates, napa, etc.)

Thanks,
Witty

Lovely tractor, Witty. Very original condition, and after sixty and more years it's still doing a serious job of work, and doing it well.
Apologies, but I can't help with your fan belt enquiry.
Thanks for posting these great photos.
By the way, what neck of the woods are you in?
Best, Adrian.

Local parts house was able to look up the fan belt by application, which surprised me. I live in northwestern Minnesota. Bought the tractor at the estate sale of the original owner, and so began the obsession. When she purrs, there is nothing else like it.

I thought that corn looked a little bit too tall for our part of the world!
Would love to see more photos of your Fordson and your farm.
Best, Adrian.
