Vintage Tractor

I have blipped this old tractor before and wondered if it was a ‘do-er upper’ project for someone. Well today as I passed the field the owner was out and he told me that it is 1972 vintage (so 50 years old) and still runs! That is quite a feat. It looks to have a little more algae and more rust on it than before.

Apologies for the dire quality of the photo - sadly I made the mistake of travelling light and just going out with the pocket camera - the Lumix TZ90. I really do wish I had never bought it - it is just dreadful. The images (even the RAW files) all look as though the Photoshop ‘painterly’ filter has been applied….they are just a mush of pixels.
