Found a tractor in the brush today

[bcp]

Wandering around the property during a dry spell, following the dog, before all the leaves and brush fill out and spotted an out of place yellow thing in a brush clump. Closer investigation showed what it was.



It appears to be a sub-compact tractor of some kind, but I can't tell what. I put down my tape measure for scale.

I've been here over 30 years. My sons didn't have one like this. The previous owner had teen boys when we bought it, so I'm guessing it is a 70's model.

Tomorrow is supposed to be dry, so I may try to recover it with the BX.

Wow, lucky you Bruce. Industrial yellow, the tyres look OK from this side and it has a FEL on it too.

Looking forward to more piccies of the recovery effort.

Tires look to be in very good shape too!

Why do you carry such a large tape measure?

I do not wish to rain on your parade, but tractors that light usually are not capable of much work do to lack of traction.

It looks to be in good shape, no rust. I would put money on the fact that you will never be able to get it fired up though.

I'm guessing it's an old Minneapolis Moline...don't know what model though.

Worse case is some salvage value, best case, it will clean up and be like new. Do you think it was stolen and dumped? Kids these days.

Wonder if the FEL is functional ...

You can borrow my tractor to pull that one out of the muck.
