A New Addition ...

There's a new addition to the End of the Rainbow Valley...  It has to do with Natureman's addiction...  I have mentioned it before.  He's addicted to a specific kind of porn... for those that don't remember/ know,  I catch him  on line looking at pictures of  'tractors. '  Yes sirree Bob, tractors.



For as long as I have known him he has been searching Craig's List for a tractor.  If we lived on flat land I would say we would get our money's worth out of owning a tractor.  I'd also want to buy a new one that would cause us little to no maintenance issues. Well, that wasn't going to happen as Natureman  has been fixated on a Ford 9N for a long while. According to him 9 N parts are easily available and it's a very simple machine.  I also learned that Ford 9N's were the first tractor to use a 3 pt. hitch. This allowed farmers to easily use many attachments.

So  a week ago we went on a field trip to look at 2  9N Ford tractors that had been totally redone. Chains and a grader were included. The lights needed to be connected but the boys made a deal.

AND look at our newest End of the Rainbow Valley member...
                      

      Its birthday year is 1939 and will last FOREVER according to you know who.

Since everything has to have a purpose if it lives here, this tractor's jobs will include grading the road, gathering wood and pushing some snow around.

                      I think  a name is needed.   Any suggestions?

    1. Lynn may have the name as our dog Romeo gets called DOG more than his given name and our new addition may just end up being called The Tractor. First name The, last name Tractor.
