Here are a few more pictures. I also included one for Mister Roy Jackson, who likes vertical exhaust and plenty of gear shifts. Manly tractors

Enjoy, EL.

Yeah, gotta love all those levers. I especially love it when I snag the cuff of my pants on one climbing in! That is a cool tractor, I never knew Bolens sold a diesel compact until I saw yours.

On my way back from the barn a few minutes ago I thought how glad I am I got these logs out yesterday instead of waiting until today. The picture with todays date, 2/1/2008, is showing mostly ice/freezing rain/sleet. I just hope we don't start having limbs breaking off. I've included a summer and fall picture of the same area of the back yard just to help lift the spirts of those of you who may wish to harm the groundhog if he gives an unfavorible forecast tomorrow.

Enjoy, EL.

That hammock looks pretty inviting. Let's see... if I plant a couple of trees now, in 50 years or so I should be able to relax in my own hammock, right???

Looks like fun, thanks for the info in my chainsaw thread. You a Gould pump man or just a hat? I've been selling them for 30 years.

Hey High 5's Bill. Goulds man. I work as a Multicraft Journeyman in a papermill and your pumps are all around me. I've toured your plant and attended the seminars at Senica Falls. Great people and products. Been working on them for over 22 years.
My Granddaughters are 8 now, they were 3 or 4 in the attached picture. Ya think I can get a new hat

Why get a new hat???.... that one is just broken in!! Your place looks great. I reminds me of where I grew up in Upstate New York.

You can really tell that those grandaughters love their "pap pap"... life is good!

Great pics..thank you very much!

Manly tractors are those that are simple, robust and direct in their operation. These machines are expected to last for decades...not the next model year.
The men who operate these tractors are also straight forward, no BS kind of guys...those men have my respect.

Too much more..I'd go political and probably get this thread closed...so, i reckon I'll end my post here...

 

[elalexander]

Hey thank you all for the great comments. My better half suggest I let you, my little tractor buddies know, that from the pictures deplicting my facial hair growth, and wear and tear on "that" hat is about the same time frame as this project is moving so far. Slow, real slow.

But.....she does like my tractor And she is still feeding me.

I looked at your July picture and the thermometer said 80. The fall picture had the thermometer at 60. Then I looked at your 2/2/2008 picture and you cut off the thermometer. Dang! I wanted to see how cold it is there of Feb 1st.
