I’d like to introduce you to another member of the farm,
Erline.
She’s a lovely old 1949 Ford 8N Red Belly tractor.
Farmer D purchased her three days before Christmas 2014

He spent quite a bit of time in the barn
over the winter and spring giving the old girl a face lift.

Doesn’t she look pretty now?
The headlights need to be put back on, but
her red belly paint looks wonderful!
Farmer D had a bit of work on his hands to get
Erline's rust under control, painting all the parts,
replacing what needed to be replaced.

We put her to work this spring when we decided to
make a
7000 sq ft garden in our side pasture.
I think it is that big because Farmer D
wanted to plow something!

We still need to get all the toys that go along
with field maintenance.

In the meantime, Farmer D will just
enjoy having a cool old tractor.
