You wouldn't see this in the city

Snapped this photo the other day. This was my dad bringing home a possible future project to get it out of the elements (40 years is enough!) The steering is seized so he lifted the front with the JD 6410 and dragged it backwards the 1.5 miles. It is a late 30's Oliver Hart Parr 18-27 wide front row crop. Apparently it is quite rare in this neck of the woods. On closer inspection it appears to have an automatic system for brake steering assist attached. Looks quite interesting. He is a JD guy so he as a few other projects first.

It had sat in a yard not far from our farm for years. The farm had changed hands my uncle and my dad knew both owners and had talked to them. They pulled it to my uncles pasture about 15years ago. Now that my dad is semi retired from dairy he has some empty building space, so in it goes until they can get around to trying to get it running. It is stuck, but appears complete. The block doesn't look cracked and the tranny all appears to be working. Apparently there were only 2 of this kind brought to western canada.
