Tractors: Just What the Friends Ordered

We went to a small engine and tractor show in Barboursville, WV.

I've never been to one before. This was a really small exhibit I'm sure, but engines like this made it very interesting.

Some people have a thing for engines! I guess we all have different kinds of hobbies ;-)

We each picked out our favorite tractor. This dandy Minneapolis Moline put a gleam in Jarrod's eye.

Hunter liked this 1939 Sears Reliable.

I liked this BLUE Ford beauty.

Porter likes yellow and loved the International mini.
Cooper fell for the old fashioned look.

Good old John Deere

Farmall was a great vision of patriotism!

Sawyer was all over this tractor, the only one with a flap that opened and shut while driving in the parade.


Since the owner was so generous, we used this one for the whole gang.

We have a special friend that likes tractors, and who has shared a few with us, and we wanted to let him know we were thinking of him today. We hope you can feel the vibrations of our little hearts, and know we love you.

Little tears as I looked at this, sitting in the airport in Montana getting ready to fly home. Thank you so much, you are such wonderful friends.

Bro B thinks the "Good old John Deere" with the red wheels is really an "OLIVER 77"... See www.olivertractors.ca/oliver_77.htm for reference!
