Classic Tractor Pics. Yours not yours, all things cool or not so cool.

Rode with granddad on one like this as a little guy.

My Dad had a MM U302super with a picker. I was never allowed to ride with him, but could ride in the flatbed wagon(while dodging ears of corn.LOL). The reason was, his Father was picking corn one Thanksgiving and it caught fire(not the MM, a different picker). He(my GrandDad) was lucky he didn't lose his foot from being burned bad.

Dad's U302super caught fire one day while he was planting, burned to the ground. That was in the early '80's, and just a year or so after is when he had to quit farming. I need to see if Mom has any pics of that tractor.

I have a WD-45 that is in need of restoration, and last July I picked up a IH 284.

Here is the old Farmall B that my great-great Grandpa used to farm with. I took this picture years ago, on a frosty morning.


Thanks for starting the thread.

Dang, this thread has reminded me how much of a little kid I am, I'm loving these tractor pictures.....I have fond memories of riding with my grandpas, on their tractors, going through the fields, and creeks... and the time Grandpa told me to hang on, we were going down a hill....about the time he stopped suddenly, and off the tractor I flew (being a smart a$$ kid, I didn't hold tight) I still swear I saw him laughing, when I looked up, like.."told you so"

Dang near lost a foot in one of these as a kid. Note no cover over the front where the blade sticks out. This thing will cut off two inch saplings. Built to mow between the fence and crops…

We shared a lot of similar equipment. Always admired the twin stacks on the 1468, never got to run one. Almost all of the diesels we ran were turned up. For those that want to see clearer a 1468 twin stack…

Dont have much digital ( available to post ). 50 years of red paint. Bunch of actual photos I should dig thru and at least snap a pic of a pic.

The 1468 was really a dog stock...any less than full m and bye bye hp, zero lugging ability. I added twin turbos, changed injection pump to a.ways run on all 8. Problem then was too much h.p. for everything else. Spent a fortune on repairs Eventually at retirement was ridge till/no till for 15-20 years, Magnum tractor, 12 row JD 7200.
