I've been working as a delivery driver for an auto parts place, one of our customers is a John Deere dealer....I love that place, and the cool mowers and tractors, my inner little boy remembers the peddle tractor my grandpa had.....
I was raised in the city, I do not have any attraction to dirt or tractors, I even hate lawn mowing.
But on the other side of the coin, I really like food, so I am really, really glad that many people do like working in the dirt with tractors. I especially like the guys that grow Steak, I mean raise cattle.....and Bacon, cannot forget Bacon.

Cool Pic.
Give us a little more details of the story.
Blue Pig and myself’s dad, born Nov 9 1938 still works a semi full time job and helps me farm. At work they call him the energizer bunny he just keeps going. Living proof that staying active keeps you young, no one ever guesses he’s as old as he is
thank you.
Actually would not mind mowing the yard with that tractor and a 6-8 foot finish mower…
We keep about 1.5 acres mowed on the property next to us. The farmer has a barn to store his equipment and lets us put in a sizable garden. In return I keep it mowed for easier access. Super nice neighbor, we watch out for each other.

Happy Birthday!
8430. A classic in my eyes. That's the first "big" tractor I remember seeing as a kid. Our neighbor across the road was one of the biggest corn and soy bean producers in Michigan and this was the first 4wd, articulating tractor he bought. He even plowed our driveway with it back in the great blizzard of '78 (and several other times).
Just noticed the cat in the pic. That's Lucky, we had her 8 years. There were about 10-12 kittens in the barn when something got in and killed all of them except her. She was hidden in a piece of drain pipe. We took her to our daughters whose cat was nursing kittens. Got her back after 6 months. Lucky ran the whole show, she was the dominant female and kept all the others inline. Even our Australian Shepherd was afraid of her.
Surprisingly friendly to us and wanted to be petted. Most are semi feral and skittish.

He loves that tractor, it’s a beast! Had it for 30 years. Air conditioner quit, muffler gave out so he put a strait pipe on. All the neighbors know when its out, you can hear it for miles.
Everything from the motor back is obsolete, be a nightmare trying to find parts, takes up a bunch of shed space. I have replaced it with a front wheel assist newer tractor but it’s what he wants to drive. Fine by me.
