I have yet to take any pictures, Swampdonkey. I just pulled it home with the JX 75 yesterday. I only had to come about a mile and a half.

Sounds like a Farmall or Massey-Harris. Does it run?

Yep, on one of the two. It was running last year. I just didn't want to try and mess with it at its previous location. It was a gift from the widow of a very dear friend. He passed about a year and a half ago, of cancer. I had known him for almost 40 years. He had built a number of my mechanical toys around here on the farm, like the splitter and other such devices.

I just can't stop picturing a tricycle, are you sure that's not it? :

Sorry, Jodi, it is not a tricycle tractor. They are much to dangerous for us mountain folks. They are a flatlanders tractor, for sure. I do have a little garden tricycle tractor that I have not had running for some 20 years.

I guess it is about time to try and get it going as well, some day. :'(
