The Tractor

OK, so here's the Tractor:

1950 Harry Ferguson TEA-20.


Why do I have this tractor? It's not like I need one for the 1.25 acres we own. I bought it for nostalgic reasons, having grown up on a farm in a farming community and now displaced to a fishing community, surrounded by woods rather than fields. I missed having a tractor around; you might not understand unless you've come from a farming background. :-)

This "Ferguson" was of particular interest as my grandfather bought one as his first tractor, having come from Holland after WWII and having used only horses. My dad, a semi-retired dairy farmer, learned his tractor skills as a kid on that Ferguson and actually owns a 1952 example himself.
