Besides old cars every small town summer fest here in corn country has a vintage tractor display. This was not a large show but there were some lessor known interesting brands along with Farmall and John Deere.
There was a nice flat radiator John Deere A that I could not get a decent picture of. Sorry.
Triple Range refers to the 3x3 transmission. Depending on the ratios there could be 9 forward gears.

I have always liked the style of these Allis's. They were the best looking of the era.

The M-M was never a real popular tractor, though they made an incredible number of different models

This is one you don't see everyday. They were sold under half a dozen different names.

For the red tractor fans. But, remember the only "real" red tractor was a Massy Harris.

That's quite a collection!
Love those old tractors! Great shots!
Wish you'd been able to post a photo of the "flat radiator" John Deere. We called them "square nosed" - collected a few. When I sold my place they were the hottest items in the auction. One guy traveled over a thousand miles and was only able to afford to buy three. Was a very enjoyable hobby.
Thank you for posting the nice photos!
Those are nice . I had never seen a Cockshutt Tractor and I didn't remember seeing or ever using the Case Tripple Range model either. The Chalmers, Molines , Farmalls, & John Deeres ,oh & the Fords were the favorites of farmers where I grew-up.
I had a Farmall C model and it still works though I sold it to the county museum and they play with it now.
Thanks for doing these. It was refreshing to revisit those beautiful machines.

Nice photos. These remind me of the tractor show I visit in Cammack, Indiana, a couple times a summer. I have a D 17 Series IV, but it’s not quite as fixed up as the D 15 in your photo.

On t'other side of the pond, where I live, the real tractor back in the day was a Massy Ferguson, sometimes unkindly referred to as a Fussy Merguson, especially when Not Functioning As Required.
I suspect the brands are related - for some reason I thought of them as British, but that could be my imperfect childhood memory.
Thanks for the great images, and the trip down memory lane.
After WWII my father bought a new Massy Harris for our farm in LaFayette, Ind..i was really young back then but today at 76 I often think of that tractor and what ever happened to it..
Great photos, thanks for sharing
