I don’t think I’ve posted in a day or two about how much I love our old tractor. She’s a 1941 Farmall M and runs so smooth it’s makes you appreciate how good American engineering was for farmers once upon a time. We use her to move trees around between our lots almost daily sometimes. She was looking mighty fine on a bluebird June day today!
