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...
