This was my great-uncle's tractor that was given to daddy a few years ago. It has a flat tire, and I think some sort of engine trouble but daddy likes to tinker with it. Notice the rusted can sitting on top of the exhaust pipe/muffler (?). It fits. He also has some sort of strips of old towels on it for some reason. Notice the seat - it looks like it would be comfortable but springy! This tractor sits in the back yard next to the Smokehouse under the large pecan trees (I need to get shots of those too!). Gotta love it - its a Southern Thing for sure!
Have a very happy Thursday!

Love this photo. I passed by something similar today but didn't stop for the photo. It was unexpected...but I should have reversed and shot it. I like that spring under the seat. I can imagine bouncing along.
ReplyDeleteRebecca, I can feel those bounces - nothing like a bumpy old dirt road!
ReplyDeleteI love your site and your photography! :)
Oh my goodness, it needs a few parts, but perfect to tinker around w/!
ReplyDeleteI have something waiting for you on my blog, swing by & take a look see!
I really love all this old equipment...the portrait sessions I could have!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great old tractor. I've always wondered about the seats, if they are comfy and how springy they really are.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI liked the blue truck below but I'm really liking the tractor.
I'm thinking the truck, the tractor, and the shed could be hung together on a wall. :)
Nice work!
You wonder just how many fields this wonderful machine has seen? :c)
ReplyDeleteThanks Carletta for the idea - I could do a mosaic even.
ReplyDeleteJayne - I assure it has seen many.
Ashley - you're right about the photo sessions, maybe when I am more advanced I can do that.
Lisa - those seats are unnnnn-comfortable! :)
The old can was to keep rain from running down into the engine...love the pic, thanks!
ReplyDeleteNow that is old...I wonder if it runs!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're right Sandy, and now it is rusted too - very fitting. :)
ReplyDeleteJanis - I think it would with a little work and a new tire!
And Tricia, you made my day!! TY!
I love old tractors, and this shot is amazing!
