the only thing that moved on the tractor was the mice in the nests
Ready for that Big Tractor Junkyard in the Sky
Why bother with just doing cosmetics....might as
well start from scratch.....so she went down to
bare frame. There wasn't a single nut or bolt
that wasn't taken out....sometimes with much

Please note: due to the graphic compression of the
photo, the tin work appears in the picture to be a bit fuzzy,
in real life it is smooth as a baby's behind. We've compressed all
the images on our site for faster load times, which sometimes make
the images a bit fuzzy, but it's that or wait for ever for these
big images to load
