I've finally gotten to drive the ol' tank...

And the steering is fixed too - no longer have to be an All-Star Wrestler to drive it.

Your hands get rusty, but it sure is fun!!

Hello sweetfeet,

It should be illegal to have so much fun, HA!HA!
Rust rules.......

Nice picture, though I feel the need for a complaint:

I would really like to see a picture of the ENTIRE tractor...

:) Bryce
 
Sweetfeet I'm really happy you folks gpt your project where you want it. Hardly a better feeling in the world.
 
Well done Sweetfeet, if it gives you a sence of achevement like my 1923 10-20 gave me you will be ok. Not got the wife to drive mine yet but I am commentating at a big tractor show 130 miles away and taking the 10-20 so sombody will have to drive it whilst I am doing my bit with the microphone. She as driven my 1940 Farmall BN, my 1945 Farmall H and my 1956 Fordson Diesel Major, sorry no pictures yet. MJ
 
on top of old regular, all covered with rust, i lost my poor meatball when somebody sneased. :)
well that sure didn't rhyme very well. im a bad poet and i know it. nice pic. i also like the one where she's in the front yard, next to her sisters, donning a flag, looking all proud. :)
 
Dang, is the steering wheel metal too? Well, that ain't no worse than a later model plasticated wheel after a few years. Believe I has as soon try to clean rust off my hands as that black stuff! Y'can always wear gloves.
 
rrlund,

No, I cannot fathom it.

I'm a little nervous about plowing with it... I guess the wheel can spin if you hit a rock. So I'll keep my fingers out of the way.
 
Shadetree,

Yep, it's metal. Gets a little warm to hang onto after sitting in the sun... it's thick so it holds the heat well.
 
Ryan W.,

It is our renter's corn. It does look pretty nice - especially considering the late, cold, wet spring we had here.
 
James Howell,

Thanks. Very fun to drive - but it makes a royal mess of the lawn and even the gravel parking yard.
 
MJ in the UK,

It really has been so much fun! Took nearly three years, with some other projects thrown in between.

Almost hate to see that part of the journey end... but now we have plow days, tractor shows and maybe even a parade or two to look forward too.

Wishing you and your wife a great time at the upcoming tractor show.
 
Larry,

Thanks... and so true. The first engine-start on the stand, then the first drive were just the best ever.
 
Good job there Sweetfeet. I have rubber bolted to the wheels of mine for parades and even with that on blacktop or concrete it rides very hard. But it's fun and totally worth it. Have fun.
 
Bryce,

Here are a couple more pics. It's actually got F20 steel wheels all around... but we looked for nearly a year and kept hearing Regular steel would cost twice the money. So we were happy to get these steel wheels.

I am almost never in photos as I am always taking them.

Here's one of me plowing with our F20 last year. It's grainy because it's cut from a video. Just as well... I'm a short, old, round farm gal... hate to scare anybody.

Delta Red,

There's one of me plowing with our F20 last year in my reply to Russ MN.

Seldom in pics, because I am always taking them.

I did post a photo last year in Tales for our anniversary... because I knew it would fall of the spreader in a few days. I don't want to frighten the whole world too much. LOL.
 
Pete SD,

Thanks. They really do have a unique sound with the potato muffler/spark arrestor.

If I ever get around to setting up a youtube account, I can post a link to a video. WARNING... I can be a procrastinator though -- so please do not hold your breath while waiting for a video. It could be a while. :)
 
MtMan,

Thanks very much!

We used to have road bands for our F20 - which would fit our Regular... but I think my husband may have scrapped them out because we changed the F20 over to tires quite a few years ago.
 
Don't let those guys make too many comments about how hard a regular steers or rides. When it was built the alternative was looking at a horses a$$ and pulling on reins. My grandfather had one for many years and apparently never changed the oil in it. Dad commented about changing oil in his Allis-Chalmers and grandpa asked "What's that?". The Regular was replaced with Farmall H. I still have it and Dad's Allis-Chalmers.
 
Paul,

Funny - but true thought on horses, I'm sure.

Neat you still have your dad's tractor.

Haven't found a rock with ours yet... but I can steer it easily now. At first it was steering really hard because my husband replaced the wide steering gear and it was binding on the other gear up top. He added some shims and steers like a Cadillac now... well, almost. LOL
