Cool! I used to repaint the IH's. The decals were the highest priced part of it. Are those 30 degree tires?

When young I drove an old ford, probably an 8N, but the numbers were gone or faded. In 1961 Dad bought a Ford 601 Workmaster. I currently have 150 Massey Ferguson. At one time I owned a 766 International. I wish I still had it. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Back to the NAA Ford, and loader. It had fluid in the rear tires, and all the weights the wheels could hold, inside, and out.
By flaming out, I meant I may have been a better man when I was a boy than I am now.

Without being able to see some parts, that one with the rear grader blade and tire chains, looks like the tractor that I drove as a kid. Clutch pedal went near straight down, but the newer models were different. miles

We had an 8N, then an IH350, that I learned on. I now own a TO35 Ferguson, that needs some help - paint, seat, and other minor repairs. The Ferguson is kind of a toy, as I have a JD 5500 for using.

About fifty years back, Firestone went from a thirty degree bar angle, to a twenty three angle. They called them Field& Road tires, known as "Field&Stream" by some farmers.
The straighter angle wore less on paving, less cupping. All the tire company's joined in on the straighter angle tires.
The tractor collectors here buy Mexican tires to get the thirty degree lugs on the old tractors.
Clear as mud?

1st tractor I drove was Granddad's Ford 8N. First tractor my kid's drove was same tractor. Its the same tractor my Granddad won a tractor pulling contest with a John Deere A. Granddad and his brother were having a few in one of the local watering holes and the subject came up about tractor power. After a few beers my Uncle said his brother's Ford 8N could out pull the John Deere that a guy was bragging about. A bet was made and a date set for the pull. Sunday afternoon the two tractors backed up and the draw bars were bolted together, a hat was thrown and the A pulled the 8N towards the finish line until Granddad pulled the three-point lever, stopped the A and pulled it across the finish line.

At the circus one time, in Des Arc, Arkansas they hooked an Elephant to a John Deere, either an A or a B, I don't know which. Even as little as I was, I saw the handler making the elephant back up for a couple of steps, then it had enough and pulled the tractor like it was a toy. miles

Even as little as I was, I saw the handler making the elephant back up for a couple of steps, then it had enough and pulled the tractor like it was a toy. miles Back when the huge, artraculated tictors were first becoming big, late one night at one of the local gathering places, the owner of same and the owner of a small constuction company, who possessed a payloader, got into a light discussion over the relative power of the two pieces of equipment. Encouraged by both their intake of liquid refreshment and the others there assembled, they decided to head home, retrieve their behemoths, and return to use Main Street as the field of honor. After the machines were placed back-to-back and joined with a chain, one of the contestants (I disremember which) took off prior to the start signal being given, dragged the other down the street, and declared himself winner and lord of the universe. Things being what they were in terms of general sobriety (or the lack thereof), I believe that is where the issue ended.
