old Ford tractor

This rusty tractor sits along the fence line inside the pasture within sight of the house up at the ranch. I took these photos last spring as the weeds were making their annual growth up through the engine & tires. Tractors have so many interesting features to look at . . . seats, steering wheels, engines, tool boxes.

We used to have a neighbor, Emery, I finally took the time to get to know. After weeks of walking by & just waving I finally walked up & introduced myself & Jack. Jack got to the point where he headed to Emery's house when we walked by. I loved sitting with him & listening to his stories. Emery enjoyed sitting outside. He said that he'd spent so much time on a tractor when farming that he still enjoyed sitting outdoors. No tractor cabs for him. I can imagine him on this tractor.
