A few photos of my tractors.
<img src = "https://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u125/27Grainfield/My4X4s.jpg">
Versatile "G100", Versatile "145", and Deere "8630", taken around 1980. My late uncle Joe is posing with them,
I still have the 8630, and a (different) Versatile "145". Wish I still had the Mopar-powered G100!

8630 playing in the mud, early 80's.

My "424" and "A", and my son Drew.

My "A" at it's previous home, that of a friend, who has since passed away.
<img src = "https://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u125/27Grainfield/JoeTractor3.jpg">
Home-made garden tractor, made by my late Uncle Joe, was powered with a CANTANKEROUS old Briggs. Spent a lot of time yanking the rope on that one, "back in the day".

Remains of a little "Cletrac" crawler I wish someone would come and get and restore.
<img src = "https://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u125/27Grainfield/100_0933.jpg">
Remains of a "Co-op" tractor that was reversed and had a loader on it when I got it. Wish I had the time and $$$ to rebuild the Chrysler Industrial engine that powers it. Loved hearing those run in the Massey combines.
<img src = "https://www.gondtc.com/~blweltin/Bob/MEandtheMassey.jpg">
And, speaking of Massey combines, here's me and my Uncles' Massey "Super 27", probably about 1961 or '62.
<img src = "https://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u125/27Grainfield/CaseIH1494_zps401ecec4.jpg">
My CIH "1494" with Allied loader.
<img src = "https://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u125/27Grainfield/SnoBlo2.jpg">
My home made snowblower "tractor", built as a Vo-Ag shop project 1975-'76.
<img src = "https://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u125/27Grainfield/Oily1.jpg">
Row of Ollies at a nearby threshing show. (Hawk Museum.)
And, last (for now), a tractor almost as RARE as the "ETD"!
