Dad, I thought it was a 1954 International Harvester. Also, since when are you on Lemmy? ;)
Your dad sounds awesome. Is it the kind with a narrow front? Those 50s IH tractors are sweet, but most of the ones around here have the narrow fronts, and it's so hilly that I'm mortified of them. Mine is a Ford 800. Absolute beast of a machine, and it's older than my parents!
Tell your dad to join Lemmy so we can start an antique tractor community!
Turns out I was off by a decade. 1964 farmall 140. Front grill is white mesh that is bent in 90 degree vertical steps. Love that the grills are such an identifier. Very postwar almost brutalist modern. Not the deco modern of the 40s-50s models. EDIT: not narrow front, but I guess that’s a given for a 60’s model?
That thing sounds awesome dude. I bet your dad has tons of awesome memories on it, and tons more swearing at it. Upload a pic if you've got one!
