This is my fathers old 140 tractor that he had loaned to my uncle prior to his death in 1985 after we stopped farming. When dad passed away the tractor was left to me, so I told my uncle that he could keep it and use it until he decided to stop growing a garden. He called me the first of this year and told me that he had to stop growing a garden, by the way he will be 98 years young this year. He is a WWII survivor and received a very serious wound to his face at St. Lo in europe. I am extremely proud of him and glad that he has been able to enjoy farming his two acre garden all of these years. I am getting back into the garden project with a lot of help from my next door neighbor, who without his help I would be at a total loss. It is so nice to have good neighbors. I took the tractor apart to clean it and paint it in pieces then put it all back together without having parts left over.
