[Farmall] Farmalls in the snow

[birddog]

I can offer no input on the age of the pictures, but to my as far as I 
know, the tractors are still used each winter.  I was in Rochester 
yesterday for a wedding (best man actually) but no plowing was going on 
at that time. The side streets where the church is were still snow and 
slush covered from a snowfall earlier in the week.  Rochester does 
street plowing primarily with the heavy garbage packers with front plows 
mounted. Jim Moran may be more informed than I on these subjects.  
Downtown Rochester is about a 30 minute drive from my home, but I only 
go there in matters of crisis (forty four or so murders this year to 
date).  Any place North of the Barge Canal is not my favorite place.
