More Old Tractors

While looking for photos for the corn crib post, I came across a blog post for a tractor parade. It has an original and restored John Deere putt-putt and an assortment of Farmall tractors, including what I'm learning are rather ubiquitous M's and H's. Below are links to some of the other tractors in the blog.

One of the putt-putts is in original condition. (After you click the link to get to a picture, click the picture to get a higher resolution picture.)

A video of a 1938 unstyled John Deere G mud racing. This is one way to allow a crowd hear what a tractor sounds like when it is under load.

This was the latest model of my Grandfather's Fords that I drove as a kid.

Farmall 200

I found an old Allis-Chalmers D19 and Farmall in the back lot of a John Deere dealer setting side-by-side.

As I left Ashkum, IL, I spotted a Minneapolis-Moline tractor. I think this is the first one I've seen since I started writing this blog. So I turned around to take pictures of it. It was an M5.

And, according to the close-up on the right, this same property had a Bucyrus Erie tractor with a Detroit Diesel engine. They evidently made tractors for construction, but not farming.

Update: The collection of M&Ms in this elevator picture caught my eye so I zoomed in on them.

I spotted a Minneapolis Moline M602 on what was my Grandfather's farm.

And in a tool shed of what was my Grandfather's brother's farm, I spotted a Case AGRI KING 1370.

(new window)  Around three minutes you can hear the tractor and around six minutes you can hear it pull a full load.


Roger L Arnold posted 37 pictures of the equipment they used on their farm from the 1960s until 1999. They ran 280 acres and miled 32 head of Jersey and Holestein cows up until 1994. He sold the farm in 2013 and moved to the city, which he now considers to be a mistake.

Starting at -5:43 in this video is a couple of Minneapolis Moline U's. I'm partial to them because my Grandfather had a U as his big tractor. Only he drove it for plowing and combining.

This collection of 49 photos starts with implements but ends with many tractors.
