Met a fellow YT member today

Today I was lucky enough to meet a fellow tractor guy and YT member. I dont think he has posted in awhile. We had a really nice chat and he was nice enough to show me his collection. Here are some pictures of a few of them.

Hopefully he will join in and explain the history on some of these. James it was really nice to meet you, and thank you for taking the time to show me your collection. I really enjoyed it.
 
I have always wondered how a MC engine would do in a tractor! My 67 Triumph Bonneville was 52 hp, my dads JD R was 52 hp? I have soon where people have put a HF V twin in an old tractor, simple to do and worked well.
 
I doubt the motorcycle engine would be happy in a tractor. It would for sure need a fan blowing across it!

I remember an episode of Orange County Choppers, they built a show bike for a company that wanted a Briggs V Twin engine in it. They took it for a test run and said it really surprised them at how well it ran!
