No idea the story behind her... she is parked beside this unknown tractor (Farmall? Oliver?)

I promised I'd put these on here...I followed the photobucket sticky instructions...perfect tips...

these are timecapsules...rusty testaments to a simpler craftsman time

I do not like it when the Blue turns into something Red (or is it browny) ....

I can beat that. Someone in our locality had a Fordson Major Diesel (this is the Dexta forum, but we're talking about out-of-action tractors), parked outside under the half-shade of bamboo foliage and a mango tree, and I've never even seen it run for as long as I remember (at least 16 years). And here in the tropics, rust could be very bad on sheet metal...

If you rub some old oil and diesel over that solid looking tin it will look superb!
