Images of the tractors and other equipment can be found at my Fotki image album.

I purposely made the images small to expedite downloading, so if anyone should want a larger better image of any of the machines, please contact me at  <mikesloane@verizon.net>, and I will Email them as attachments.

• 1946 Ford 2N . I passed over this tractor when it was first offered to me 10 years ago. This time the price was better, but the condition had not improved. This tractor has been my first complete restoration.
  
• 1948 Farmall Cub with Howard Rotovator and Howard 2 speed rear. This tractor is used for garden tilling in the spring and with a 5' sickle bar mower to trim along ponds and the roadside during the summer.
• 1955 Farmall Cub with Fast Hitch. This was my first farm tractor, and for many years I used it with a 4' Mott flail mower ("hammer knife"), but I sold the Fast Hitch and mounted the Woods 42C mower that came with the 1952 Cub.. This and the '64 Cub have been converted to 12 volt operation.
• 1964 Farmall Cub with IH C-3 60" rotary mower. My son discovered this mower in the back of a barn where he was working as a landscaper. I have done some work on it, but nothing extensive, and it is one of my most dependable tractors.
• 1965 Farmall Cub Lo-Boy with 60" Woods rotary mower . This was my most recent Cub purchase before the F-30 and H and replaces an Economy Jim Dandy that I used for many years to mow my lawn. When it came to me, the front end was badly out of adjustment, and there were leaks at the rear engine seal and front transmission seals. After "splitting" the tractor, rebuilding the hydraulic system, and other work, it does an acceptable job of mowing.
• 1957 Ford 860 . This is my "workhorse" tractor - any time I need a machine to do something tough, I crank up this tractor, and it just does whatever I ask. I use it with a Woods 6' brush cutter, a Unicorn wood splitter, a 1 ton boom crane, a platform lift, and a 7' grader/snow blade. In the winter, I install a canvas weather cab for snow plowing. One of its most useful jobs is powering the Woods RM306 6' finish mower.
  
• 1953 Farmall Super M . I bought this tractor originally to drive the 25 KW emergency generator for the house, but since then I have added a 3-point hitch kit and hydraulics, so that it will be able to do many of the same chores that I use the Ford 860 for, without having to constantly change implements. In the winter, I mount a large spreader and use it to put sand & salt down when the road ices up.
• Farmall 560 diesel. This is my "big" tractor and takes the place of the Farmall 706 that was just too big for my needs. While the tractor is in mostly good mechanical shape, I am slowly working on improving its general appearance with fresh paint and an almost new grille.
• 1965 International 240 Utility . Purchased in March of 2000, I have spent over a year getting it up to what I consider to be excellent mechanical condition and very good appearance. It is a very handy machine and very easy to use.
• IH Cub Cadet 123 with 38" mower. This little tractor came to me free, and was in pretty sorry shape. It runs pretty well after a lot of engine work, and I use it for trimming around the lawn in front of the house where the Cubs are too awkward.
• Case 430 Construction King . The 430 CK was an accidental purchase - the owner was selling everything and moving and offered it to me. I brought it home in August 2001 and find that I like it.
• Ford 145 LGT lawn tractor. I purchased this little machine to replace the Economy Jim Dandy because it is better suited to maneuvering around the bushes and trees around the house. Also the hydraulic drive makes the job much easier. Although the tractor is over 25 years old, I have found that parts are still available.
•  International 240 Utility . I bought the tractor in OK mechanical shape, but somewhat tired sheet metal and instruments from years of neglect. It had a hydraulic system but no hitch, so I bought the rusty remains of another 240 and hauled it home. Since then I have completely rebuilt the 3 point hitch from the hulk and mounted it on the "new" tractor, reworked the electrical system, and cleaned up much of the sheet metal, among other things.
• Farmall 340. I purchased this tractor and a Farmall 140 at the same time. Neither were in running condition, but the 340 was the nearest to being a good tractor. While missing some sheet metal and other parts, I was able to spend the better part of a summer putting the tractor back into very nice shape.
• International 184. I was not happy with the quality of the mowing of any of the older tractors, especially the smaller ones used around the house and barn. This 184 became available, and I brought it home. It is mechanically excellent and has done a fine job of mowing.

• 1972 Economy Jim Dandy . This was my first tractor. Although the company is no longer in business, they are very strong machines and many are still in service. They use Kohler one cylinder air cooled engines from 14 to 18 hp and could be configured as lawn tractors (like mine) or for gardening, with full 3-point hitch, lug tires, and hydraulic lift.
• Struck Magnatrac 4000 with backhoe and loader. Because my property consists mainly of wetlands and lawns, I wanted to have a machine that would take care of ditches and other chores and not chew up the grass or sink into the "muck". Plus I liked the idea of building a crawler from a kit. While it is not as heavy duty a machine as a big crawler, it does a lot of jobs around the house and is very dependable. I enjoyed building the kit - 9 big boxes weighing a total of 3300 lbs! Recently, the gentleman who purchased the F-30 came with his fancy welding equipment and welded grousers on to the track pads - now it has excellent traction that was missing with the smooth track pads. But after all the various digging jobs were finished, I found that it was sitting idle for years at a time, so it too was sold.
  
• 1942 Caterpillar 112 road grader - I obtained it for use in keeping the dirt road leveled and snow cleared in winter. Unfortunately, I could not get the "pony" engine running well enough to start the diesel engine, and I finally sold it to a local farmer. He and his son worked on it for two straight days and ended up getting it started and drove it home from here!
• 1936 Farmall F-30 . I purchased this tractor and a Farmall H as a "package" in November, 1999. Of the two, the F-30 is in far better shape, although of little use to me, except as a curiosity. I have sold the tractor to someone who is in the process of restoring it to far better condition than I would ever have done.
• 1952 Farmall Cub with Woods 42" mower. I bought this tractor from the widow of the gentleman who sold me the Ford 145 LGT. Now that repairs have been completed, I have sold it, along with a Fast Hitch assembly and all the farming implements that came with it.
• 1965 Farmall 706 . I bought the 706 in 1998 just for a "project". I knew that the engine needed work, but the price was right and most of the big pieces seem to be there. During 1999, I took the engine apart and replaced the sleeves, pistons, and bearings, alternator, water & oil pumps, etc.. I don't really have any special use for the tractor, but I have always wanted a 16 speed machine with full hydraulics and 75 hp 6 cylinder engine. There are images of my progress in the link. I purchased an IH 1701 loader and have mounted it. This tractor was  sold to raise a little cash while I was out of work.
• Farmall 140. This tractor has an IH 1000 loader, as well as an IH C-3 5' finish mower. It had been rolled over many years ago, and there was considerable damage to the sheet metal, the mower, and other parts. I spent a fair amount of time and money on it during the summer of 2002 and got it in very good shape. But, without a job and not really needing the tractor, it was sold in the fall to a family in MA.
• 1944 Farmall H . This tractor was purchased along with a Farmall F-30 and was not running, and in fact, the engine was seized as well as other minor problems. This machine was to be my major "project" for 2000, but not much progress has been made to date. I finally realized that I was no longer interested in the machine, nor did I have any real use for it, so I sold it.
