The only thing older that I possess is a pair of Cunningham UX-245s dated 1938. Here is my new 1941 IH Farmall H....

Excellent choice, Min! She's a beauty. Surprised you didn't buy a rust bucket H to restore, though.

My granddad had a Farmall H. But I'm more familiar with the ubiquitous Ford 8N. At one time when I was a little kid in the 70's my dad had two of them for chores around the homestead.

Not my dad's:


Closest I've come to owning a real tractor is a 1973 International Harvester Cub Cadet 129. Sold it three years ago. I really loved that thing.

Not mine, but looks just like it:

The 8N is pretty handy with the built-in three point hitch (I think). Mine doesn't have one but the conversion isn't terribly expensive from what I hear. I also have a lawn tractor like your Cadet with a 32" mower deck- it is an Agway and I don't even know if they make tractors anymore. Tractors are lots fun. Just gotta be careful on sharp turns on my trike- it is known to tip over and safety features were virtually non-existent in those days.
