This old tractor and the wagon behind it have become part of the garden centre display at a local grocery store and the rusty old machine seems to work very well with the plants and flowers don't you think?
That is a 1930s era Fordson tractor which put many small tractor makers out of business. This tractor was dangerous if used hard as it had a tendency to rotate around the rear axle and crush the operator. Ford then mounted a plow on the back end to keep this from happening. This one looks like it might run with a bit of fiddling as it is all there.

that's pretty cool. our local grocer has pulled in old ford tractors, old pickups and the like to display the produce they buy locally. :)
A lovely combination that works well!
