I guess someone has to be the first entry so here goes.

This is my 1937 John Deere unstyled Model B. Having this tractor has been a life long dream of mine and 2 years ago it came true. Hopefully we will get it painted soon.

more entries to follow.

I look forward to seeing everyone else’s pictures!

She's very pretty. How does she run? I love the sound older tractors make. It's so rhythmic, and full of character.

She runs as smooth as silk. She normally starts with one crank. It’s hand crank so no electric start.

I remember our old John Deere crank start tractor. Ours wasn't as cooperative as yours. Looks like it has the old belt drive too? I remember watching that being set up to blow silage up into the silos.

I’ve always enjoyed a good ol-fashioned threshing day. Hook up the tractor or hit and miss engine to a piece of equipment and going to work. Then have a pot luck with family and friends then relax. Oh the good old days.
