Joined: February 2016 Posts: 1802 Location: When?? | Game plan for the holiday weekend... 1. Drive a metal pole deep into the center of a 100' open space leaving 3' of the pole above ground. 2. Place a freely-rotating metal collar onto the pole. 3. Attach a 50' cable to the collar. 4. Attach the other end of the cable to the tractor. 5. Grab your new 12er, climb onto to the tractor and start it up. 6. Drop that baby into gear and let it go in circles while you ride along free-handed. 7. Drink bourbon, play the guitar and sing loudly until the tractor runs out of gas. 8. Refuel the tractor and repeat items 5-7 until fully satisfied. Seems to me to be the obvious thing to do. | ||

Nancy, there's never been a drunk woman playing a 12-string on a moving tractor in the calendar before. (I honestly can't decide if that's a hint or not.) Â I was actually trying to figure out exactly how you could do that, until I realized it was with a Tractor LoF was talking about, and not a dog that he was tying to a pole!!! Patch, I can honestly say, that that is one 'First Time a woman did that' thing that I would NOT be willing to shoot for! LOL!!!!! (I don't like bourbon... ) Edited by Nancy 2016-09-02 10:03 AM | ||

Joined: February 2016 Posts: 1802 Location: When?? | Yeah, well, they say a warped mind is a terrible thing to waste. And speaking of warped, just make sure you attach the cable to the SIDE of the tractor and not the nose or tail because otherwise it might pull and bend the pole and cause the collar to fly off and create a Prudential moment on the neighboring property. And also feel free to substitute the bourbon for honey mead or whatever. Oh, and maybe monitor the throttle a little at first. You'll be okay. PS: If that '55 640 is actually your tractor, then you are way, way cooler than I thought you were-- and that was already a pretty hard mark to top. | ||

Joined: December 2014 Posts: 1713 Location: Frozen Tundra of Minnesota | You crack me up so much!!!! LOL!!!!! He is mine, I bought him 2 years ago when my Family put the kabash on my getting a 4 wheeler. (Shorty after my first skydiving) I saw the picture, fell in Love, and my 11 year old nephew wrote up 2 pages of questions for me to ask the Seller, and then approved all the answers. I asked the Seller if he could deliver it (he was about 2 hours away), and when he brought Travis down the ramps from the trailer, he taught me how to drive it. I had never driven a Tractor, my Dad wouldn't let me drive his because the one time I tried, I popped the clutch, and up in the air it went... So in 10 minutes I was driving pretty good, and I never told my Family about him. Travis is in my barn with my neighbor's pulling Tractors, so they assume it is his! LOL!!! I have found the way to live my own life is not to tell anyone what I am doing. That's why you all are so important to me, I can tell you, and you are happy with me!

Joined: August 2009 Posts: 1137 Location: Germany, where delicious wine is growing (Rheinh) | Little John's are also available in Germany, but Travis looks like new. Never saw a Ford of this time period in Germany. What kind of engine ist build in? If you can find one, they are almost the blue Ford 3000. I've a little Tractor as well, a Holder AM2 from 1967, they are special for vineyards. I don't have any pictures of it but I've had refurbished it completely about 15 years ago and I'm still working with it in the fields. Maybe some finds a pic of one.... And for the guitar.....wonderful, enjoy it!!! Bernie | ||

Never saw a Ford of this time period in Germany. What kind of engine ist build in? If you can find one, they are almost the blue Ford 3000. It is a 2.2L 4 speed, 4 Cylinder Gas Engine that puts out about 30 horsepower. http://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/000/2/3/233-ford-640.html (The tractor under the Pictures Tab is Travis) I just thought he was Cute! Ford did start going with the Blue & Grey, then all Blue as they went. I believe the first Blue ones were Diesel, and the Grey & Red were Gas, but then they switched over to all Blue. I still like the Grey and Red the Best (Big Surprise! LOL!!) They are very similar to the Jubilee and 2/8/9N's, but I liked this one better! Small design differences, but important to me. The man I bought him from had found it in an elderly neighbor's barn, all rusted and not working, and he and his Son worked on restoring it together as a Father/Son Project. Once I bought Travis, they were looking at an old, beat up Golden Jubilee to work on together! They were going to use Travis in a Parade, hence the Flags, and he was going to take them off before delivering him, but I Love them, and asked him to leave them on! I would LOVE to see a picture of yours Bernie!! Edited by Nancy 2016-09-03 4:55 PM | ||

Runs like brand new, and I can totally take care of Travis by myself now!! The guy who rebuilt it used parts made for other models and jerry-rigged them, I decided to put the actual 640 parts back in, and it is firing on all 4 now, and humming right along! Also took off the blade on the back, I had left it on as a Wheelie Bar, just in case, but I think I am good enough now, not to need it! Now all I need is a wildly flowered straw hat to go with my overalls, and white tennis shoes, and I will completely be the Crazy Old Lady at the End of the Road! LOL!!! | ||
