Who has the oldest that's been in one family since new??

Mine is a 1935 F30, purchased by my great grandfather.

While there's others here between, next oldest one family is the '46 JD B- purchased by Grandpa, first John Deere on the farm.

I can't beat that, but I still own and use my grandfather's 53 Farmall Super A which after decades of working on an eastern NC tobacco farm now spends her retirement row-coropping my garden in Kansas. I hauled her here in 2015. She's been in the family 7 years longer than me.

Nice pic .... SUPER 101 right? I imagine the louvered side panels are probably long gone or sitting in a barn somewhere yet to be found. Looks like it picked up some road dust .....

Our oldest since new is a 1951 Minneapolis Moline ZA. It doesnt get much use now days except for the occasional parade and just driving it around. We also have a 1958 Massey Ferguson 50 that does get used for raking hay, brush cutting, and working the garden. Both of these were bought new by my grandparents. Currently going over the Massey to get it ready for a few parades as well.

No plain 101 there was no super on the decal before I repainted the hood. Side panels were lost years ago, likely in the Palm Sunday tornado that tore through Lagrange ohio in 1965.

Nice wedding photo. My oldest bought by my great uncle in 1938. Ive put this picture on YT before.

That's interesting. I know there were 101 Juniors and 101 Seniors (along with the 102 versions of each) and the Super 101's ..... see the link below for a photo from the web. A plain old 101 by itself, I'm not sure I ever knew about that. Click on the link below. Does your decal now say Super on it?

I have a pic of the hood before I repainted it Ill find and post tractor was all original before I did that. Yes the decal says super on it but that was a mistake on my part.

The straigths "101" with the 201 ci Chrysler existed in 1938 only. In 1939, the 101 became the 101 Super with the bigger 217 Chrysler, and the 101 junior with the 4 cylinders was introduced.
