An Old Friend Departs

I parted company with an old friend last weekend.

My 1952 Ford 8N tractor left for a new home with Lawyer's Bro.  Ever since the New Holland diesel - with hydrostatic transmission, modern safety features, padded seat, power steering and cruise control - arrived, the 1950 and 1952 Fords have been sitting in the machine shed like a couple of hanger queens.

They've both seen plenty of hard work over the years.  And when they're running they're actually pretty reliable and easy to maintain.

Good bye old friend.  You've found a good home.
