we got several old tractors at my grandparents.

a 1948 Massey Harris Senior 101

a 1952 John Deere Model A

and a D4 bulldozer from the 70's i think.

[Sixty8panther]

If you ever hear about ME buying a bulldozer you might

want to stay far away from my locale as it will almost

surely be encased in concrete & packing... uh, I mean...

uhhhh, never mind. I've said too much already.

I am getting a 1986 John Deere lawn tractor model 165 from my uncle. It was my grandma and grandpas until grandma moved out of her house. I always used it and loved it. So I will have 2 riding lawnmowers this summer. It is in fairly good shape. Not a lot of hours since it was only used a few times a year. It just needs a little cleanup and the right front tire is bald.

Noise

Vibration

Harshness

The three things that Toyota owners fear the most

and muscle car lovers live for.

Old tractors are cool... my Dad had a '62 John Deere 2010 model. He used it for a variety of things around the farm, including plowing the nearly 1 mile driveway in the winter. It was one of the first vehicles I learned to drive.

Looked a lot like this one:

Well, anyone who has been around here for any length of time knows I was raised on John Deere tractors. I raked many an acre of hay on a '52 Model A, with that classic "Putt Putt" 2 cylinder gas JD engine (luckily, ours had an electric starter activated with a foot pedal, otherwise it would have been a hand-crank sidemounted flywheel-start). The 3020 and 4020 were both excellent tractors that have enjoyed collector status, and I am sure many thousands of them still work every day. John Deere FTW!

[cletus8269]

i'll stick to my 48 senior 101. we got a 52 A as well... hand clutch FTL hehehe

[Sixty8panther]

Yeah.... I respect John Deere eqipt.

That being said a friend of my wife's got a John Deere themed Baby Shower.

That is a bit too much IMHO.

Though it could always be worse...

Orange County [HackJob] Choppers Baby Shower theme FTL?

Cant wait to get mine. I am goin g to try to preserve it but use it once in the while enough tio enjoy it. It will be like getting reaquainted with an old friend. Like I said it has a lot of life in it and it has not seen ANY hard use. 12.5 horse Kawasaki engine and hydrostatic transmission. Its RWD too. It doesnt have a mixed drink holder like the Sears does but I am sure that could be arrainged.
