Those tires still have some miles in 'em!

Excellent! My Massey Ferguson 135 (3 cyl. Perkins diesel) is the most reliable machine I have ever owned! By far…..

Nice John Deere. That looks like a great project tractor. Are you going to use it when finished?
My vintage tractor isn't that old, it's a 76' Yanmar YM1300D 4x4

RFD TV or the 'farm' channel has a couple of interesting tractor shows on that I catch sometimes. https://www.rfdtv.com/shows

This is a 1949 John Deere M. It was my uncle's tractor. He past away over 30 years ago and it's been sitting in this spot ever since. And yes Stev o it ran when park

I remember back in the 60's him driving this tractor up the country mile long dirt road we lived on from his house to ours numerous times to mow a field behind out house using a ole school sickle mower. It's all there and actually not in to bad of shape to have been out in the elements all these years. Yeah Kelly I do plan on using it on out property some when I get it up and running.

Very cool. Even though I live in the city some of the best memories of my childhood are riding with my grandparents on a tractor.

Glad that you still have it after all these years

Hoping to get it loaded up on a trailer in the next week or so and bring it to my house and give it a good cleaning to start with.

Awesome, the only thing I see missing is the seat and mount.

I grew up in the country in North Carolina. Been around a lot of tractors. But I never saw one with lichen growing on it!

Congratulations on the acquisition - and the memories.

What fun! If there's no water in the engine it shouldn't be too hard to get running again.
There's a market for those old tractors.

I will also be getting all the equipment my uncle had for it. I found that sickle mower I remember as a kid

Here is another old tractor. It's my father in laws. A Farmall Cub, and I think it's a 1949 also just like the JD.

Kelly E · « **Reply #16 on:** March 05, 2022, 08:36:56 AM »

Nice Farmall Cub, that's got some great patina.

Getting all of the equipment with it makes the difference in my view, all that history and memories intact. Plus after restoration you'll be able to use all of it as intended. Make your Uncle proud!

What's REALLY nice about the old JD's........ you don't need a computer to fix it.

My Dad bought Grandpa a 46 Farmall cub new. It got sold years ago but I always look for an excuse to track it down and get it back. Dad worked at a Farmall Dealership and was plowing gardens with it when it got hit head on by a car. When the dealership got it in for repair, they took the insurance money and did a full restoration on it.

Got the John Deere M loaded up on Saturday.

Looks good! The RF tire looks pretty “slick”.....
