That would have made it somewhere around 6 or 7 years old at the time. The wear and tear looks about right.

Thanks, Jra. That's awesome that you knew that. I certainly didn't. :-D

I remember that tractor so clearly, though.

I also can clearly remember my grandmother churning butter by hand and making apple butter in a copper kettle over an open fire. She made her own candles too and got horribly burned on one arm doing it. That was long before I was born, I believe. They were tough people. No nonsense is the best phrase I can think of to describe her and my grandpa, Da.
