My son's new toy...
Starting a plow run
Trying to impress the ladies with his new "ride"
My 15 year old son has been working on restoring a 1941 John Deere LA tractor for about 10 months now. His 4-H group had their annual "plow day" on Saturday and he got to spend a few hours plowing with it. He had an absolute blast. As the leader of his 4-H group said "I've never seen a smile so wide on anyone's face as your son had all day long".
He's not done restoring it yet by any means, but still it is a neat piece of history. I think it is good looking too (The tractor I mean, though the girl in pink is kinda cute too...). Not bad for a 73 year old piece of farm equipment...
I like that!
Well done!

Somebody had to say it.
I was born in Waterloo Iowa, and raised 35 miles from there.
I don't recall ever seeing one of those around, and there is lots of old JD iron up there. Very very cool.
I like it and one learns a lot from such a project.

Nice.
I don't think I have ever seen one of those.
My son loves tractors, but it will be a while before he is able to do something like that, he is only 1. I had a lot of fun restoring tractors in FFA when I was in high school
Very cool project...
We see those around here periodically and they are popular with the JD collectors in the area. What a great project for a teenager and it certainly looks like the chicks do think his tractor is sexy.
My son's new toy...
Congratulations!! Looks like the proper use of horsepower. If he can keep it inside after he is finished; he will be able to work it once in a while and still enjoy it many years into the future.

You're right, someone had to say it!
I like it!
A man needs a tractor.
