I could listen to that guy talk all day.

[@robwhite3241]

You'll get stuck out there all day if you visit his place. Ask me how I know

[@Kagaines]

I feel like I did.

[@darrenblattner2508]

I could sit and listen to Glen tell stories all day long.

[@victoryfirst2878]

I never heard of this type pf soil anywhere Sir. The undercurrent soil type at the avery farm is just as unique as the tractor you have Glen. Job well done my fellow farmer.

Alex talking about Avery Tractors had me in tears remembering my great uncle and his Avery Tractor and how he would fawn and gush over it so...

[@rickscott1162]

Watched twice! This era switching to gas, maybe why not developed. Great to see it in work clothes. Thanks for sharing!

I experienced a "stuck" on a farm in IA back in the '70's. Water had backed up in sand, turned it to quicksand 6" below the surface. Was moldboard plowing with wheel in the furrow. When I hit that spot, half turn of a 15.5 x 38 tire and it was down to the axle housing. No spin, just down. First ever I saw a kinetic rope, got me out. Quite a learning experience day. Love your Avery.

Wouldve liked to see more of this tractor and how it worked. Looks like a marine sorta boiler on wheels. Could listen to that chap all day. You can tell a guy loves what hes talking about by how he talks about it.

[@KubotaBXathome]

What a classic, thanks for sharing

[@kjr1988]

[@brucecurrie5898]

[@finddeniro]

My Grandfather born 1898 was Hired from Southern Ohio to work Kansas wheat fields ..ah 1912 ?.He was amazed at the Steam Engines...Yeah he smiled...

[@yako0000]

love me some steamer talk.

[@TechnoMagi-h4r]

Only Traction Engine of its type i know of and i have a substantial Database

[@kevinjohnson5214]

What's the fixture coming off the front end ?

[@dannycork423]

Probably for a water tank mounted to the front

[@fuzzwack1]

It really should be parked under a roof!

[@johnchadwicktilton]

I have to wonder how the engine turns over. It looks like there is a pin opposite of the crankshaft pin . It looks like the pin would keep the engine from turning over.

[@forneyantiquepower4688]

I thought the same thing, but then realized that is the crank pin. The connecting rod is just hanging from the crosshead, not connected to the crank disk at all.

[@johnchadwicktilton]

@@forneyantiquepower4688 That makes sense now. Thanks

[@alexkg130]

He outta restore that Beauty before it returns to Mother Nature.

[@Kagaines]

He’s a chatter box.
