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!

Somebody had to say it.

You're right, someone had to say it!

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
I like it!

A man needs a tractor.
