Grandpa’s New 1947 Farmall C Tractor

With the late Summer second cutting of hay I see being bailed, I was reminded of this post from a few months ago…I thought I would share it with you again.
 During WW II tractors were not manufactured in America. The order for this tractor was placed in 1945. My dad recalls as a young boy waiting patiently on this new arrival for almost 2 years.

This is the first tractor I drove. It is still being used on the farm today. It is quite small compared to modern farm equipment, but this little guy still has his role pulling hay wagons.

THE GREAT MAN SHOWS HIS GREATNSS BY THE WAY HE TREATS THE LITTLE MAN
Enjoy your Summer day!
