Behind the wheel of an old TRACTOR
All of these are still in service. Yep, these are all lawn ornaments on country properties where there's tons of space for such fabulous memorabilia.
TRACTOR out in the cold
As you can see, my camera and I cannot resist taking photos of them.

I see that you and I both like old machines. I too have an old red tractor.
Nice find! I love old machinery such as your tractors.
Fantastic shots! Love old tractors.
I like old machines and these tractors are wonderful!
I love all your old tractors. Amazing how things have changed. Funny, but I have a post for Rural Thursday and it's tractors, too. Mine are inside the local mall. I wish they had been outside.
The steam engine looks like it has been stripped until not much left. I watch them on the farms around here when I was growing up.
Great b&w composition, I like it a lot! ;)
Tractors remind our farm in Brazil! ;)

I love these old vintage tractors and am always on the lookout for them in my area. I like your Thursday for T submission idea!
Nice images, EG. The old tractors make great lawn decor out in the country. They wouldn't fit in my small West Hartford suburban lawn.
that steam tractor is amazing, love it. and i really like the first photo and the detail in it.
Wonderful, especially the steam one!
your composition of the first shot is so perfect
I like tractors, they're great workers :)
There is something about an old tractor. Love the B/W shot.

Wow, those are amazing machines, and still in use besides. Thank goodness for people that care enough to restore rather than replace. Gorgeous, gorgeous photos.
I am not familiar with steam tractors, but the tractor in the first shot looks familiar...as a little kid I would climb on an old tractor and pretend to drive it..at grandma's farm...that was in the early forties and the tractor was old then!
So I really enjoyed these photos!
Wohoo, that first shot is for me! I would love to drive one (though this one probably won't go very far anymore, lol!)
love old farm machines turned into outdoor sculpture!

Great post with some wonderful pictures. My fave is the first one!
Oh, these are marvelous! Great images.

I especially love the perspective in the first one.
We have something in common, tractors and rust. Wonderful shots!

You can still find bits and pieces of old vehicles and machines in the bush, but non are still working. That's why they got left behind. - Margy

I like all kinds of old machines. Your steam tractor is great!
these are great -- i am a barn junky. since i've given up antique malls, i'm just going to have to stop along the highway and shoot from now on. thanks for stopping by. great shots.
I love seeing these old tractors. Such history!
Those are great machines and wonderful photos of them!
Love this post! Takes me back down memory lane:)
I love these old signs of the past ! Must have been quiet hard to work with it !
great find!
i love this tractor and your photos!
wish you a great day from start to finish!
Wonderful photos of today, my favorite is the first with this beautiful frame and play of light and shadows on the side of the tractor.
Great shots of these old beauties!
That last one looks like some of the garage-made/hand made motor bikes I have been seeing around town. Maybe their way of saving money on gas?

Oh you captured my heart with that first photo! I may be woman, but I have loved mowing lawns since I was a child....now we have 5 acres and I have learned to use a riding mower/tractor too...and it's even better, not for the trimming with my push mower...but the hum of the tractor and the scents around me...it's like sailing away for a brief trip with just myself and nature! My daughter thinks I should use my IPOD on these get-aways, I say NO WAY!
These are great. Love the color!
=)
Love the steam tractor! Realize now how long they have been using those! Have a great Easter weekend!
I adore old farm machinery...
Absolutely loved this one!
tractors and other old farm equipment can be so fun to photograph..the older and crustier, the better. Nicely done!
«Louis» has two uncles in Texas who restore farm implements. He's sending them the link to this. They'll enjoy it!
Those are so cool!
I like to see old tractors.~Ames
Old tractors are so much more interesting than modern ones! They have character :)
Seeing your old tractor pictures brings me back in time. Great post!
Loved these terrific pictures of tractors!
I think they are so sculptural. If I had a big yard, I'd totally put one out front! Much to my AZ neighbors dismay, I suspect!
Thanks for a terrific link for the letter 'T'.
A+
