[AT] Antique tractors anyone?

[Indiana Robinson]

Here is a shot of my "little gray Fergie" TO-20 (working clothes) sitting
as part of a front display along with a WD Allis belonging to a friend,
sitting at a "Super Krogers" at the south-east corner of Indianapolis. It's
been there a couple of weeks now and I'm starting to miss it, it's my most
frequently used tractor. I may have to go over there and visit it... (about
20 miles north-west of me).
It has been there before but just for a long weekend. If I had known they
wanted it this long I would have sent my little VAC Case instead. I only
sent the Ferguson because I felt that it was safer to load and unload. Son
Scott hauled them there and the VAC is tricycle (the trailer he was using
only has 2 attached ramps) and the VAC has a kind of tired governor. The
TO-20 is of course wide front and it has an exceptionally good governor.
