OK all of you who know tractor history. Here is the statement and question;
We just purchased an 8N i am currently working on. My wife and I love "old stuff." Old cars, I'm into old airplanes, and now, tractors.
The question; What possibilities are there of something the size of, or preferably a size smaller than our 8N that my wife might want to play with, in a vintage tractor?
She is a country gal who gets her hands dirty and is physically strong, and can ride horses like the wind.
The tractor will ONLY do two things, brush hog (hopefully 4 feet cut,) and drag the arena with a chain drag. Thats it! She loves to mow. (Dont ask me, I have no idea)
I need to be able to get parts, wide front track, slow enough gears to be a bumpy stroll and not a buckboard. I intend to disassemble, repaint, rebuild, and set it up for her as "Her Toy."
I know it sounds odd, but I can NOT be the only one here with a wife who loves to "play."
Thanks all!
P.S. We saw a Farmall Model A (not that I want it) on Craigslist and she said, "Awww!! How Cute!"
I'm not kidding, she really did.
