This isn’t farm related but something exciting we have in the works.
My dad and late grandpa meticulously restored these tractors and the Ford Model T in the early ‘90s. We trailered them to the Texas Early Day Tractor And Engine Association every year; rain or shine, and even drove them through several parades in the central Texas area.
I was surrounded by this tradition from a young age so when Steven and I married, we continued as long as the military had us in Texas and brought up our kids to love this tradition and hopefully one day, continue to carry it on as well.
For the last several years the mechanical aspect has been a new challenge for my dad who could always fix anything, especially these antique tractors. We got as many to the annual show as we could but they were mostly being pushed on and off the trailer. Dad decided that for us to continue the show and legacy, it was time for him to pass them down.
Our goal is to have all four running smoothly by October 1! We have the Allis-Chalmers C, which has always been my favorite, almost ready to go and are taking the Model T to a professional this weekend.
If you’re interested in this kinda thing, follow along - I’ll post more about them as we get them up and running. And if you’re local and driving by, you might occasionally see me driving one around checking fences 😉
