tired iron

came across this last summer, thought it would make a great picture, so I was
on the same road over the weekend and had to stop. would be great if i had a nice
dslr camera, but, the picture is awesome anyway.

Looks like someone's someday projects. Good pic.

Nice picture. Lots of history setting there.

I'd take the ford home

If they could only talk what stories they could tell.

Boy does that bring back memories. That is what I remember as a "tractor shed". We had one down at my grandfathers that housed the baler, drill, super A, M Farmall, combine, and WD 45. One end of the shed was used as a repair area. It was 4 stalls wide and two deep. Memories. Thanks for sharing.

That is a common site on upstate NY farms. It seems every farm had that style of shed before pole barns came into vogue in the 60s and 70s.

I to like the lean to on the lean to barn. Each tractor has its own lean also.

That could be a great post card photo...

i'd like to have it printed and framed on a wall in my office!

I agree, Dutch. A wee bit of cropping to take the red shed out and eliminating the black vehicle to the left.

That would make a lovely framed picture.

Okay, it's not a tractor. But, I had the same feelings you guys are expressing when I took this pic.

Looks like all the tires are holding air... and the equipment is covered... someone is looking after them.

The back ground is breath taking! Little larger than the Smoky Mountains.

Yeah, the Rockies are incredible.

I'm kinda disappointed that this thread hasn't taken off. Maybe the title failed to attract the required attention?? I'm sure there are a lot of pics of old/tired tractors etc., floating around.

Here's a pic of a Goldini tractor that I took in Baghdad Iraq. Not quite tired, but well used.

Here's a pic of grand daughter on an old Massey.

Photoshopped to the best of my meager abilities.

Got rid of the hideous blue bucket I somehow missed the first time.

I hear you on the "patience." I only know how to do a few things and if I accidentally hit the wrong button, the only way I know to fix it is to hit "undo edit." I have a cool photo of an early 50's Chevy pickup sitting in the weeds that I work on from time to time. In the background is a car wash. Getting rid of the big stuff is easy, but when it comes to maintaining the fine outline of the subject...not so much. A dozen years ago I watched a photoshop artist make up a company sign complete with multi-colored flames for the sides and back of our box trailer. Unbelievable talent and patience!
