re: #15 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.

The 720, 820, and 4020 are diesel, and the other two non-20 series are a 1944 H (my mom’s tractor) and a G of unknown vintage that was my dad’s most recent acquisition. I cut my teeth working on those things on school nights and weekends - changing the oil, filing points, sanding and filling and painting. 3/4 of them are fully restored, and my dad and I did the majority. I know those metal monsters like the back of my hand. I had my own tractor in my teenage years, since sold, that I used to drive to my neighbor’s house and that I took to “bring your tractor to school day” that we just made up on the spot.

Ours weren’t pretty. They were workhorses. I never drove any but the last 720, raking hay. We rebuilt that one on the farm, having a couple of brothers that worked for us that could do about anything with anything mechanical. They rebuilt my T-top Camaro’s engine in our kitchen one winter. Good memories!
