That sure is purdy Capn. You sure are having fun this year aren't you? Yeah, I'd say just by looking that it was built as a pulling tractor.

I sure know one thing….. I wish they could talk! This tractor had a real fine screen soldered or brazed around the air intake end. It was professionally attached, I had a heck of a time removing it. And the build up of baked on dirt and grime on the inside of that pipe, maybe a solid 1/8 + “was like none I have ever seen. Dang I wish she’d talk!
