Looks as though the 70's were a good time for your farm... Sad to say, but that's how it is here too... We have a (I believe)1510 JD gas at the farm I work at(one of the last Gas ag tractors built by deere...3 Cylinder gas), and a stuck Farmall H. Friend of the family has a Deere 850 (Yanmar), it's the tractor I learned to drive on...We still use it for clipping the meadow/tree fields, and for our firewood logging.
I have always wanted to get a Styled John Deere D... It's the 2 cylinder tractor I have the most time with... There's just something about the sound and smell of a 500 Cubic inch (I forget the exact number) 2 cylinder burning Kerosene under a full load.
I use a '49 Gravely L for pretty much everything I need to do... I have 2 parts tractors to keep it going. People laugh at me when I tell them what I use, but For what I need it for, it works well, and I can run all day on 2 gallons of gas. Parts and attachments are cheap when you buy junk machines and part them out. I had a Gibson Super D2 (steering wheel type, 2 Cylinder Wisconsin engine), But it needed alot more work after I got it running, so I traded it for a couple of Associated Washing Machine engines.
When it comes to mechanical stuff, old farm engines and tractors are what I like to work on...The truck, not so much.
Thanks for sharing the pics!
