Is that a Cub or an A?  First motorized contrivance I ever operated was my grandpa's Farmall B when I was about 6 or 7.

Nice!  I liked the look of the ones with the front wheels closein (ford?) deathtraps though...
My dad's Fords (1940's grey & red) had the wide apart front wheels.

You seem old tractors round abouts.  There was one I had seen in my travles. It looked pretty down and out. I used to look at it when I drove by, and wonder just how many years it had sat there...

One day I went by that place, and this Ole Buzzard was driving the thing around!!!  I don't know which looked in worse shape, the tractor or the OT.

The tractor in the pic is a Farmall Cub - it's about a 3/4 scale version of the A.

Out here in the States that Begin with 'I', the debate between owners of Red tractors and Green tractors is even more fierce than the one between Dems and GOP.

Dat be de one, except mine was kind of lime green.  Bottom was a PS, middle was the mixer, top unit was similar to that.  Sat in a 4' rack, which I still have, it's kind of a lime hammertone green Tongue

There is mine, then also one or two tall-ish ones unclaimed in a storage trailer. Maye I better secure their safety for parts sake. Is your working? Need anything?

Is that a clock? It's very unique, looks like it is made of wood.

A Pennsylvania Railroad GG-1 electric locomotive in Tuscan Red or Brunswick Green. A classic from the art-deco school of industrial design of the 1930's. The Tuscan Red variant is shown below.

Styled by the famed industrial designer Raymond Loewy, who also, coincidently, designed the Coke bottle.

73,

Bruce



There is one here in Dallas. They claim it works but there is no $$ to get the 25Hz jiuces flowing.

KLH Model 21 FM receiver. Great sounding radio, they seal the case to improve the acoustic performance (solid state, of course).

It is also made in Cambridge MA, near to my hometown of Lexington.
