Wish I had that for my yard art. I have a McCormick Deering grain thresher that vintage and that’s the kind of tractor that would have driven it.

That’s pretty dang cool. I went to the Southeast Old Threshers reunion about 10 years ago. They had a bunch of stationary threshers as well as mule drawn and east tractor drawn harvesters. Apparently the Midwest show is even better.
 
Is that a legit 7.0L car?
I wish. It was originally a 289 c6 car. Currently complete except motor/trans. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I really want to do an ecoboost v6 with a 10 speed auto trans. Since it's for the wife, 400hp on a tune and 20+ mpg would great for a daily for her. And it still seats 6.

My uncle has a real 7.0 liter. Had a windowed block when he got it. Took years to find a numbers matching block but it’s in the middle of the restoration now. An ecoboost would be a cool conversion!
 
If we're doing old tractors... 1934 caterpillar twenty two. Crank start and it runs.:smokin:

My grandpa had the same cat twenty two on his property. I used to pull the disc around on it every spring to knock the weeds down. Its at my uncles ranch now, been sitting for 20+ years. I thought about cleaning it up and getting it running again but my cousin is off her damn rocker and dont want to go anywhere near her

That's too bad. They're cool little machines. Just watch your ass on that starter crank kick back! It'll take your jaw off or rip your shoulder out of socket.
 
Found this old pic of me pulling the disc with the twenty two, I would say this was around 1993/1994 ish. Pretty sure my grandpa was the original owner 20210809_065114.jpg
Looks fun, you should recreate the pic of you and the cat now
 
Nice to NOT see bullet strikes all over THAT cool Iron

The repair welds on that thing! Whoo boy, she was rode hard and put away wet many many times.
I think they kept it going with a stick welder till there weren’t any tire lift to roll on. Something must have broken while roading it to its next destination so they pulled it off to the side of the road and left it for dead.

another 1956 cj5 (my dad's, used to be a c101 commando til he rolled it and threw a cj body on it)

My crummy old Ford backhoe. Soon to be for sale. Yes, there is lots of old junk in my yard. And no, my wife doesn't care.

Also a pic of my sports car since I know you heathens will ask
