Hi Cindy and Brett. So glad you were able to get the tractor. I know that’s a big help

[@TheSwaffordHomestead]

Well it seems to be some life left in it! The old Ford will be a help for sure... Thanks God Bless

Great to see her in action Brett, turning soil every couple of years is a good thing. Take care and have a blessed weekend to you both.

[@TheSwaffordHomestead]

Its a yearly thing here. There's two kinds of soil here. Rock or clay, Ive got the clay. Luckily its the brown clay (not Red) which is a very rich soil. Even adding organic materials, by August the garden gets so hard a rototiller will only scratch the ground. I have to bring the tractor back in or hand dig for fall/second plantings. Thanks God Bless

New tractor! Wait a minute. I learned to drive on my Dad's 8n about sixty years ago.

[@TheSwaffordHomestead]

Over heating

[@TheSwaffordHomestead]

No, it was good on heat. But the engine is worn , & you can the blow by coming out of the crankcase!
