I like stay close to the Fordson at shows. Because you never know who you may meet. Especially on Senior Day. If your interested you can read the comments I got from the young and the old.
Kids Comments
Look ,this the oldest one here its 1924 ! several of those kids look at the date of the exhibit they run ahead to find dates and shout back .
Do you drive it? Yes would you like to hear it ,Ill start it for you . They jump up and down with joy ! Got to educate the young ones willing to ask questions.
Why doesnt it have tires ? They didnt make rubber tire till 1932 ,I tell them.
Some teenager tried to crank it . When I was not looking . He couldnt move it . He said to his bubbles, it doesnt have compression release.
I had it in gear so the they couldnt .
Adults
Look this almost a hundred years old .
Look it has steel tires ???
Does it run ??
I never heard of Fordson ?
Is it the same Ford ?
What that round wheel on the side . Pto belt pulleys
Is it a rough ride with those steel wheels , (yes)
Why does it have two fuel tanks ( one for gas to start and and one for kerosene.
Would you like to here it run ? (Yes) can we film you ? (Yes)
You did an excellent job restoration. (Thanks )
My grandpa had one
All in all ,it went well
The wife did well with the story if I wasnt there.
Most people that look at tractors want to hear about them because they have many good reasons ,the show is about them also .
