My dad had a tractor repair business starting in 63 and going into the 90's.
I like to collect toy models of the tractors his customers used. Most of the tractors were from the late 30's up to early 70's.
In the 80's. One of dad's customers was a father and son. They had four JD 620's one with loader, one 630, a 1952 B,1939 A with loader. There big tractor was a 4020.
The the old man (the father) is now gone and the grandson is now in charge. He bought a new 79??R. The 4020 is the chore tractor. The loader tractor is now a 4455. The son, who is now 65. Has had the 630 and one 620 restored. Working on the model B and has plans to have the 39 A restored.
He is restoring the tractors he farmed with. The grandpa bought most of them new. I don't think the grandson has much interest in the two cylinders.
It will be interesting to see if the grandson will restore his 79??R and his 4455 thirty years from now.

The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
