T/Alphabe-Thursday

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 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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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!

    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'.
