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.
Aww poor olf Tractor, least it looks loved
