Description
On our drive to New Hampshire, we stopped for breakfast, in northern Florida. As we headed back to the car, an old timer, driving this 1943 International Harvester/McCormick FARMALL tractor, drove in for his morning coffee. He bought it new and he talked about it as if it were his baby. Notice that there is no license plate.
Thanks for stopping by my gallery, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated.

Nice shot Dana, he sure got his money's worth with that tractor it looks as good as new and if he sold it would probably make a profit.

Super shot. I remember Case and Minneapolis Moline tractors also.

It looks marvellous, and once again has me wondering about the way the front wheels are set..which I have discussions about on here in the past!

As someone who grew up on a farm ... the rear wheels have large, tough, heavy-tread balloon tires for maximum traction in soft soil, damp or muddy fields. The front wheels are small and close together so that when you make a tight U-turn at the end of the field you will mess up less (or none) of the adjacent row. Also, you can make a big Farmall or John Deere literally "turn on a dime" by simultaneously hitting the brake on the inner rear wheel while turning the front wheels hard 90 degrees in that direction. (And advancing the throttle if necessary for the tight turn.). With very little practice and it comes naturally!

Whoa, that sure looks most modern for a 1943 model, and in pristine mint condition besides, Dana. Excellent POV on this old timer, my friend.

This has brought back happy memories for me as we had one very similar to this when I was growing up on the farm. It was so reliable. A lovely capture.
