Another great set Joe. I like tractors and you've covered a lot of them in this series of post and finally got around to the Ford n series. I'm not sure these are antiques though. Most of them are working tractors, albeit gingerly, but still working and you can buy parts for them if they were made in the 20th century. If the Laporte County Fair had these guys, they must have had steam engines just around the corner. Got any of those?

All good images, for me the best one was showing the underside of the seat and a steering wheel in the background, of a tractor in the same shade of green. Fabulous composition.

Nice!! County fairs are where antique farm machinery come to play.

I can just picture you quietly stalking around these objects looking for that perfect angle. Then you find it and, BAM!

I know what you're talking about - gigantic behemoths due to the boilers
I will look around. Laporte, back in the day, boasted an Allis-Chalmers plant and even one building to building Rumelys (back before you and I were even a gleam in our parents' eyes) 🤓🤓
