Just mowing some farm yard with Graham Bradley

Just took a few photos of mowing some grass around the yard with 1938 Graham bradley 503 104 standard tread. Farm been in family since 1910. One barn in back ground is from 1916, most other builders cam about from 1940s thru 1960s.
My dad is driving. He was built in 1933 and remembers when the tractor was delivered to the farm new in 1941.
John deere trailer mower is very recent but blades are still avalible for it so we will see how it does. Blade spins slow compared to modern mowers and it is not a stump jumper.

Three quarters of a century on a tractor since new? Very few members in that club I assume.

Seat is aftermarket as is side mounted tool box. And lights have been repositioned lower to clear orchard limbs

Where are the photos from? Certainly no grass cutting here yet as there is still snow on the ground. Southern MN.
 
Great photos, that would be some rare tractor for sure. Somebody would probably take it and restore it which would be a crime, I like it just the way it is in its work clothes, along with your dad in his work clothes, great post for all of us to enjoy.
