Some photos from the North Georgia tractor show

JD BO. In the old letter series, B was the size/horsepower and any other letters than went with signified its use, in this case "O," meaning it's an Orchard tractor. They generally are more narrow and sit lower to the ground.


One of three beautifully restored "D" model JDs that were there. The "D" was JDs' "big" tractor for about twenty-odd years.


Now we're getting into more oddball things. This is a Massey-Harris "Pacer," the next size up from a "Pony" if I'm not mistaken.


Riding mowers/garden tractors were well represented. I'd never heard of this brand before. I doubt you could name a product something like this (Panzer) in our politically correct climate of today. That would be like naming a car a "scud." Naturally somebody would find a way to complain about it.


And the Red(IH) vs. Green(JD) wars continue. I thought this was pretty damn funny. That's a 1/64th scale 4020JD toy tractor in the precleaner bowl (air filter) of a Farmall. And yes, that is a little mason jar. A lot of the old gas-burners used common mason jars for a precleaner bowl, since that glass bowl was really about the only truly fragile item on an old tractor, this made life easier for a farmer doing repairs at home. It's a shame the manufacturers don't have that attitude anymore.
